Zero contacts...... how do you know who they know ?
Wilder
Dyche
Calderwood
Woodman
Crystal Palace
Spurs
Charlton
West Brom
Just to name a few of Sampsons contacts and that's without me knowing who he knows / has worked with and for previously.
Sampson has scouted for all 4 of those clubs BTW
Well, I meant more along the lines that they've all been at the club for a long time, and don't have experience coaching or managing at other locations which you get mostly when you recruit experienced managers. Not to say that this will end up 100% leading to poor recruitment, just the area I think I'd be most concerned about.
