[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1066972, member: 73144"] I think it’s important for teams and the wider squad to have a strong core of home grown players. More continuity, more people who genuinely care about the club, more relatable with the fans etc. Getting the right blend of those and guns for hire isn’t easy and can take time. Different for coaches. They set the tempo and should be the right man for the job, full stop. And if someone does coach at a former club their playing days should be well behind them so they’re not coaching former team mates and they should also have worked elsewhere to broaden their horizons. Yes I know about Baxter, and it’s going to be very interesting to see if he can replicate past success now that a lot of his old faithfuls have gone or are running out of road. [/QUOTE]
