>> Also if you go behind the hype, how good is he really?
He got Wycombe into the League - with by the standard of the time large
amounts of money to play with. <<
As seen with the likes of Ranieri and DO'L, large amounts of money are
no guarantee of success.
>> He got Leicester promoted and a couple of Fizzy Pop Cups - however
they failed to progress beyond Round One of the UEFA Cup on each
occasion and never threatened in the League. <<
But to say "just a couple of fizzy pops" is dismissing quite an
achievement in itself.
>> He won the two horse race that is the SPL and got to a UEFA Cup final.
OK its a better CV than Blackwell or Colin but no better than say Steve
MacClaren or Sam Allardyce......neither of whom are considered to be at
the same level for some reason. <<
But it is better than Allardyce and McLaren. Way better. They've won one
fizzy pop between them I think.
He certainly has an ability to get the best out of average players and a
way of motivating people.
