As for digging at Maynard I’d argue he is better than Wilshere he has put the graft in at a lower level whilst having a job too.

If he gets the job I’ll bet he is worse than Maynard was by some distance that is my hunch.

End of the day you are as good as your players and Wenger/Ferguson had the very best give them players that Ipswich/Burnley have their records would be poor that’s how it is.
Yeah but even Rooney had a good season at Derby. Neville stepped in to a situation at Valencia he wasn't prepared for and none of the players understood him. Football management is just luck and circumstance. That's why managers get sacked all the time...even the best ones. You are only ever a few defeats away from the old heave ho.

Buckingham was given a go when he had no experience, as was Evatt. They all have to start somewhere.
