Quoted from jamesgtfc
Listen to his podcasts. Before the Blackpool job he took time out of the game, went and watched how foreign teams trained including Madrid/Barca (not sure which). He determined that his method was quite defensive and decided to shape himself as an attacking coach.

Our defence may appear solid but with risks come reward and consequences. The key is to ensure rewards outweigh the consequences and I expect as we get into full flow under him, we may become a little bit exposed at the back.

Set pieces are so important and being successful at them can make a huge difference to the final league position. I expect him to have us well drilled at corners, free kicks and throw ins.

Fitness is key at this level and if midfielders are going to bomb forward, athletes like Hess and Clifton are very much required.

The one position he needs to address as a matter of urgency is left back and I would expect someone to come in this week.

You then have to compare that with his apparent negativity in his later managerial jobs.the fascinating thing will be to see how the 18 months out of the game has affected his thinking.my initial thought is that he will go more blackpool, especially as he seems Happy with our defensive structure, but is concerned with the lack of offensive capabilities. The fact that clifton and hess suddenly managed to get into the opposition's box yesterday  plus the rumour that 2 attacking players may be signing in the next few days supports that view

And that he seems to know all about our club and history and anything he doesn't know he finds out... Therefore he'll know the 'Grimsby Way' is attractive attacking football and that that's what the fan's want.
