Aside from any purely football problems, he has to figure out who's who. There will be a proportion, not necessarily a minority, who will instinctively distrust anything he says because he was never a pro footballer. Then there will be an overlapping group who won't yet (and maybe never will) forgive him for having replaced their 'gaffer', Neal.

If he likes those kind of challenges he'll be in his element. If he doesn't, he'll look just like he did in his post-match interview...
