I stand corrected Gaz but my point remains. He got the promotion by being in the right place at the right time and certainly not on his ability.
Why are people wasting time arguing over the utter irrelevance of whether or not he may, at some point in the future, have to step in as a caretaker manager for a game or two?He did a great job for us, comes across as a completely decent man and there is no rational reason why anyone with any connection to our club wouldn't wish him anything but the very best in this move. They're a huge club, it's a great job working for a progressive manager. Pleased for him and hope it works out well for all parties.
Noel,I admit I don't have a liking for SC. I think he tends to talk rubbish most of the time and non more so than when we have played his teams in the past.

For anyone who manages outside a big club thats a very impressive stat. I do take your point re SOD though, who knows where this move could take him, assuming he wants to be a top dog again somewhere and isn't happier coaching top players who can buy into his beliefs rather than managing at a lower level.
