You've just been made manager of Huddersfield Town. Things are dire. Rock bottom of the premier league, a very poorly owner looking to sell, no money to reinforce and a squad of players who have given up and/or are looking to blame someone for the mess the club are in whilst not being blamed themselves.
What do you do?

I'd grab a ball, run out on the hallowed turf and pop one into the top corner before sliding on my knees towards the Kilner Bank with my shirt over my head, making crowd noises at the back of my throat. I'd then stuff as much free branded stationary as I could carry into my pockets, drop my resignation letter on the boss' desk, and get the hell out of there faster than my feet could carry me.

Don my suit, go along to the boardroom and listen to a load of false promises, sign a 2 year contract and walk away a rich man just in time to spend Christmas with the family.

Can I go back to May 2018 instead?
Take over David Wagner, tell DH I'm not signing a deal unless we match other relegation candidates wage bills and the training ground starts immediately, bin off Josh Marsh and spend money on 2 genuine Premier League wingers rather than a bunch of projects on the cheap.
Job done, relinquish control back to DW.

Rock bottom of the premier league, a very poorly owner looking to sell, no money to reinforce and a squad of players who have given up and/or are looking to blame someone for the mess the club are in whilst not being blamed themselves. What do you do? Take Phil Billing to one side and tell him you want to build a team around him. A team that will bounce straight back to the Premier League, but you just need one season of 100% commitment out of him in the Championship. Negotiate with the board that Billing, along with other key personnel; Mooy, Schindler, Zanka, Kongolo, will not have their wages cut as per the relegation clause when they inevitably go down. With that spine of the team happy and onboard we'd be straight back up as champions! |

Blame my predecessor for any future failings, shout at the players and tell them they are useless, spend as little time as possible on the training ground, continue to tell the media that I am a wonderful coach who doesn't have the right players or budget, wait for the club to terminate my contract as quickly as possible so that I am paid up in full without having to fulfil this role any longer than necessary. Return to my homeland where the population are barely aware I even exist with my reputation largely intact  |
