It's a dumb question and an honest, but undiplomatic, answer. Putting the style first is stupid, because its the result that counts. Arriving at your destination at 100 km/h is better than going 200 km/h, getting lost and running out of gas. Only Liverpool are Liverpool. Would Lewandowski slot into the LFC front three? Probably not.
Kovac always had a better relationship with the press than with his bosses, but he also lost the dressing room completely, just in the last couple of weeks. He should do well elsewhere, but he's not a world class tactician, and he failed to impose his identity on the team.
Hoeness is not doing the club any favors right now, either. Undermining the manager, picking pointless fights with the DFB and generally putting himself in the foreground just when he is on his way out the door. The squad is in transition, currently in injury crisis, they need all the stability they can get.
