There are some good managers and tacticians below the Prem.
Steve McClaren (obviously) has proven himself to be a decent tactician and good squad motivator with an impressive contact list (along with our Director of Football Chris Evans) that should help if we get promoted this season.
Aitor Karanka has learnt his trade under Mourinho whilst at Real. He's got Boro playing good football and will have some good knowledge and contacts for the Premier League too.
Bob Peeters at Charlton, Mark Warburton at Brentford, Eddie Howe at Bournemouth. I'm not too sure if these guys would have the resources or knowledge base to make the right signings in the Premier League, but they have their teams playing well at the moment.
