In May 2013, Hasselbaink was announced as the new manager of Royal Antwerp.
He stated that the club was "a two or three year project".
In November 2014, Hasselbaink was appointed manager at League Two side Burton Albion.
Enough said.
But as @skywalker was telling us few days ago, Antwerp was a basket case then too, and had been for 20 years. On the up now, though with a new owner, so looks like JFH was unlucky with his timing.
Is that correct, skywalker?
Royal Antwerp wasn't run in a professional way .... something JFH pointed out. But ... tactics, don't know anybody who was impressed. Mind you: R. Antwerp was his first job as a manager, so maybe he picked up some things ...
Can see why Jimmy Floyd for the owner/fans would be a option.
Attacking pressing football Has his UEFA A License Develops and plays young players Works on a budget Not too expensive
But the main reason he joined Burton was to join a club with a plan and stability and be allowed just to get on with job, will he get that here or the time if things go wrong NO.
Why do we have money to pay out his contract a Burton Albion, when there are a lot of good managers with Champ experience on the dole? I don't even believe this, but if it turns out to be true, it seems like holding a UK passport guarantees you won't even get an interview at the Valley.
Malky Mackay could do a job, he worked with a shit regime at Cardiff. he had a bad time at Wigan but then again who hasn't recently? Established manager and not working, apparantly seen at the Valley on Saturday.
This has been a one day diversion. Anyway the local paper there says we want a British person in to assist Fraeye and the other bloke Wim, so that confuses me regarding 'interim' if true. Are we to believe they want a person with local knowledge in, and when the interim is over, said person either leaves or they themselves become manager/coach? Shame this does not seem to be in any way substantial.

The article says, "they want that position to be filled by a British coach and the new man, would stay on, whoever the next permanent boss is."

Apparently? There's a bleedin photo of him !
Yeah and Mackay's way of dealing with his 'difficult regime' at Cardiff was to send racist texts to his MD, then he joined forces with another old racist at Wigan and as we generally find out with these kind of knobs they end up falling out with each other too!
No, thanks. Could do without his flatulence, we have enough of that to deal with already!

Not that, of course, they'd be allowed to recruit, specifically, a British person..!
All this does is raise my hopes that we could actually get someone in who knows the game and has credibility. But, this isn't the Douche bag way so it's just a let down.
Our club is in a right fucking mess and we have more chance of winning the Champions League within 3 years than this happening.
Just a load of BS. JFH agent trying to get his name out there. Probably suits the club this kind of news, as it keeps the fans thinking that maybe they are looking outside of the network. Blatantly not!!

Bull Shit without doubt but I do think the next permenant fool will be either KF or someone outside the network.
All depends on what KF does but frankly I'm not expecting much. My guess is someone from Belgium ;0)
Has JFH stayed anywhere more than 18m to 2 years. Managers in my work stay a similar time and usually because they move in before getting found out, it is a real art form. Get in, ride the wave of the person before, get out before you f it up.
Let's assume for a second there is an atom of truth in it rather than just speculation: JFH has made a decent fist of his management career so far; he has some experience of English football at various levels; these two factors should make him a vastly superior prospect than Fraeye and Wim-thingy; but his attitude while here as a player was so blatantly awful that I can't envisage warming to him any more than the belgian cheapo blokes. JFH and his playing 'performance' were so toxic and inextricably linked to charlton's protracted decline that a cheapo network option has preferable baggage. It's a NO from the Upper West stand, just in front of the cabbage patch.
Someone who did well at League One / League Two level but put him any higher and I wouldnt want him anywhere near my club
Good point. Better go with the untested Belgian Third Division (A) "Head Trainer" instead.
My point is, it doesnt matter whether you go for someone who has managed in the Belgian Third Division / English Championship hell even some one from the Premier League, whoever you bring it its going to be a risk
But clearly there are ways to reduce that risk. Why back the donkey when there are horses in the race?
Race?! There is no race! The " interim" manager is the new manager and will get the job permanently if he (by some miracle) wins a couple. If not RD will sack him as " Interim" and bring in some other Belgium related non- entity - I would be amazed if there was any selection process going on at all.
It's bollocks but so is that article. Post holds no appeal to JFH, says 'source'. Stick enough cash in front of him and he'd have some appeal. As I say, all irrelevant with this shower in charge but come on, that's not a direct quote from the fat bottomed one.
