Going to manage the h*ns doesn't really have a big upside (unless he intrinsically wants to manage them). It's a bit like the Scotland job really. It has a bit of residual prestige but in reality it's a sh*t sandwich. It will only appeal to those who have no other options.
It seemed more likely that he would go there after Warburton got the sack.
