But we already have a very uniformed and similar structure to the one he has at Ajax at all levels up to the U21s. And they are playing a very similar brand of football (high tempo 433) that Ajax teach and play.
This is what draws me to fdb, he seems the best fit, the best candidate to sync the development to the first team ad well as being a winner.
I couldn't even begin to second guess Levy's thinking on this, but if I were him I'd be thinking maybe it's time we adopted this bottom to top philosophy completely, rather than having the first team completely disjointed (AVB) or managed by an idiot who makes choices for the wrong reasons (Sherwood).
If he does like the idea then I can't think of a better man than FDB.
Well that's certainly a big plus regarding the similar structure and like you say him being able to sync the development effectively. Still not sure how high up Levy's list or priorities that will be.
I also still worry about the style, and if similar to AVB in terms of implementation etc...but I know we'll see that differently so not much point in elaborating too much.
But surely you wouldn't be too dissatisfied with Pochettino? There's more to like than not to like, and our defense needs improving whoever the next manager is regardless.
