A lot of chat about having an experienced coach and a young understudy to move into the hot seat when the manager moves.

Only thing I don't like about this is when the manager invariably gets sacked the number 2 either goes with him in solidarity or is seen as part of the team that's the problem in the 1st place and is punted as well.

The chances of the manager being a roaring success is slim and if he was a success may want to take the number 2 with him to pastures new.

Take Boyle for instance he must be regretting being persuaded to become McIntyres number 2, seen as part of the problem when he was probably well liked and respected for doing his original job with the Dee.
