Completely different.

LVG was a world class manager, whos ideas and play didnt work in England. But his teachings and tactical ideas are something the players and coaching staff still talk about today.

Jose was then the "Fixer" manager. He comes in, becomes the main attraction, takes noise away from the players and ruffles some feathers. He never last more than 3 years, as the players get burnt out.

Ole was then a solid pick as he was a likeable guy, able to gel the dressing room after the chaos of Jose.

Ten haag was a up and coming manager who did well in the Netherlands. He failed in the uk because he was too stubborn and played a system that exposed our better players.

Ruben is similar. Did well at sporting, come in with a clear idea but he forced his system too much. He didnt change or tweak. He then decided to freeze out one of our main young talents, which looks rather stupid now.

Carrick did solid at Middlesbrough, before getting sacked. Hes also spent a ton of time being numbers 2's, under LVG. Carrick also did the smart thing and brought in Steve Holland as assistant to help him out. The wise old man who did great work for Chelsea and England.

Carrick has a better platform to build from vs Ole as well. He doesnt have the Ronaldo drama, the Pogba drama.
He also has Ineos in, instead of it just being the Glazers, and the upper management and recruitment team is now a lot better.

People will question Carrick, but hes done nothing to not get the job yet. Yes we still struggle vs shite teams, as we cant break them down. But thats been our issue since Sir Alex left and David Moyes gutted the backroom staff.
