After Santini and Ramos I also really struggle to believe that Levy/Lewis would risk anyone without proven Premiership calibre. I'd put AVB in that bracket along with Deschamps, Klopp, Blanc etc
Santini and Ramos were very different as they had no experience of the premiership at all and also both didn't really speak English.
Blanc and AVB both have experience either through playing or managing and both speak near perfect English. Also, unlike Ramos, neither rely on a director of football which is important.
Proven premiership calibre is not easy to find...and if that's what we wanted would we have got rid of our most successful premiership manager of all time?
We're going to have to take a degree of risk with this appointment. It just needs to be calculated.
