This is true. People lazily think that because he's Spanish and coached clubs that aren't Real Madrid or Barcelona, that he must be just like Emery. But his system and style are pretty much the opposite of Emery, truth be known. He's a 4-4-2 guy (I posted some videos about his tactics earlier if anyone wants to see them).
Marcelino is down the pecking order of my own preferences and I don't even know if he speaks English with any proficiency, but he is a very good coach and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
Right, but when Emery came in people also said he was a very good coach whose English was suspect.
One can convince themselves that pretty much anyone has positive attributes. When Emery came, everyone was completely underwhelmed and then they researched him and picked out the bits that they liked in order to feel positive. If Marcelino comes, guarantee the exact same would happen.
His tactics might be different from Emery, but it'd be a similar sort of appointment.
