Interesting to speculate where Sean would be now if Eddie had stayed a bit longer.

Would he have made a name for himself elsewhere?

Our success has been built on Sean and the board working together on a very specific plan. After our first promotion Sean wanted to concentrate the money on the infrastructure of the club instead of strengthening the team - and The Plan worked brilliantly.

I can't think of Sean getting that level of trust and influence at any other Championship (or lower) club. I well remember after he took over, he priorities the defence - we were leaking goals under Eddie - and the matches were diabolical to watch until the team were used to his tactics. There was the thought that the club had made a mistake in employing Sean and many were calling for his head.
The following season was superb, and the rest is history.
