I can't see it, I get the impression that he is one of these people who are ok at keeping a club going in the same direction but no idea how to changes things when they start to go wrong, a good appointment if your team is top of the league and your manager has been poached and you want someone to get you over the finishing line, but a disaster if you are in a position like Hull heading downwards
Looking at all the appointments this season in both the Premier League and Championship, we seem to be living in a very weird world, where the leading attribute required to get a managers job, is the number of times you have been sacked before and this is called experience, but this means that no one else can now be seriously considered because if you are a young manager and get the sack the first time you won't be considered for another managers job because he will be up against people like Tony Pulis who has been sacked 6 times and therefore he is 6 times a better manager than you.
