The EDS are right in the thick of their own title race.
The EDS are there to serve the first team, not the other way around. If the powers that be thought Vieira would improve things with the first team squad, then they should use him for this.
I don't think we'll make a change before the end of the season though.
If Klopp is coming to City - and we'll know in the next 48 hours as the media start to swarm over his next destination - then Pellegrini will be gone very soon. With things at stake we cannot allow a manager to stay in charge when he knows his time is up. Logically it would mean Vieira and you can't then put him in the EDS - you give him the no.2 spot and he does a 3 year (all going well) stint under Klopp before he gets the job himself.
Best person to advise on academy etc. Wilcox becomes EDS manager and so on. He can then help breed the best u18 talents into the EDS and takes a similar route to Vieira. Had Vieira got his badges now to be a Prem manager?
EDIT - Vieira will get his licence this summer but can manage on a temporary period anyway.
