His "development" is wishful thinking - the cost to the club so far is the championship (twice). Oh yeah - PW took us down twice now having 60% of season first time but then he was still in his management nappies and so so naive.
This is some honeymoon period!
He may not have what it takes ! ! !
But how long do we wait to find out - let's hope he gets another chance at the championship to prove TS's patience is justified.
Personally his loyalty to certain players and lack of man management skills (of players with "attitude") will restrict his "development" to mediocre.
His tactics should be improving with his and his teams football education. Getting the team to follow the theory is another matter.
