Problem with Enrique is we are chasing him because he had great success elsewhere, just like Conte. Poch is going back, we sacked him remember, will bringing him back wo work with inferior players help us long term?
Carrick has the same profile as Arteta did for Woolwich. Former player, midfielder possession based passer of the ball, and looks to be cutting his teeth and prepping for a long career in management. It would be a massive risk, but why not take it and back him and give him the same backing the Goons gave Arteta. It could well be a bumpy ride, but it would be a speculative appointment with potential upside we cant foresee. Such an appointment would need to have a 5 year horizon and he would need a long leash and patience to experiment. If he does wel in his first year, give him free reign to weed out players like the Goons did, and set a no nonsense mentality.
Any short term manager will not look to youth. Arteta was given a long leash and time, and that enabled him to play Saka, Martinelli, Smith-Rowe. Enrique would be another short-medium term appointment and would be reluctant to look at young players as the duration before they can become top class is longer than his timeframe for staying at the club
Give Carrick a 5 year deal and stick to it.
