What do you guys think of the constant rumours linking Moyes to Inter? I don’t want him and think a more “Dutch” inspired coach would be what Kova & Co needs the most – also taking in mind the comments by Thohir about wanting the team to play with a 4 back and to play a more open and “European” brand of football! Don’t think Moyes is the man to do that, or what do you think? He did very well for 10 years at Everton so maby… I would personally love to get Frank De Boer but he’s closed down by Ajax, but what about Frank Rijkaard? He’s available and wants to return to coaching again, and he has this “Dutch” style of play!
