To be fair Madsteve, all three of those you mention are white, male and played regular football!!  Mourinho may not have played top tier football, but he earned his coaching and managerial credentials under some of the best coaches around.

If we are to get rid of SG, then personally I would like to see us take a chance on a younger coach who may have just retired from playing,  someone like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.  Getting in an ex-player is a no for me as we always turn legends into failures at S6.  The only exception I would make would be Pearson if he were to leave Leicester.

Very few coaches actually give added value to a club. Most are pretty much the same unless you get a Fergie or Wenger.

The key is to have a Club Philosophy of how to play and the coach plays within those parameters which means that little is lost when a coach is changed.
