What!? Experience of professional football - there's no comparison.

Of course there is no direct correlation with management skills. But a coach must have credibility and it's harder for someone to establish that if they have no history in the pro game. Some exceptional individuals cut straight through that, but Paterson will have more credibility than Maynard did.

It's also useful for us that he's spent the last few years in L1. His input will be good for Gagliardi.
