ancelotti always plays attractive footie, as for him not bringing through youth, ever heard of pato? also luis enrique seems to be on his way to roma, with ancelotti preferring to stay in the prem.
he has always working at the top of the game, both as a player and as a coach, and would be able to see what we lack to get there and i think he's intelligent enough to put us on the road to get there.
if we can't get him, i like deschamps too, and as people have said he might be an option for continuity with duverne etc.
i don't mind hughes, he can probably do a job for us, he was part of the transformation of united from being a strong side to winning regularly (in his second spell), so he can probably see what we are lackinng in order to get up the table. i just don't think he'd be as much of a draw for top players when we are outside of european qualification...
it's a massive appointment this one, we need to get the best that is available, and right now there are a lot of good candidates looking for work in the prem...
