It means in the past decade * he hasn't managed anyone*.

His stats as a club manager in the past decade are the same as yours or mine. There aren't any.

Of the two clubs he has manged before then- so in a completely different era- I looked it up and it's 42% at Sunderland and 34% at Ipswich.

Well just going back to both him and O'Neill's tenure over Ireland, despite having a couple of great victories, performances for the most part were very poor and we widely regarded as one of the worst teams in Europe to watch.

Ireland relied on grit and hard work, as opposed to any great tactical nous on the line and by all accounts training sessions were devoid of any great work on shape work or phases of play.

Whereas the current Irish set up has evolved and has come full circle under Stephen Kenny, with a whole host of players complimenting how much work gets done both on the training field and the attention to detail when being supplied information on tactics, individual targets etc is second to none.

Ireland have to rely on grit and hard work as they don't have much quality. I'm not sure how that's not adapting to things!!!!

Let's not forget they reached a tournamen under MoN and Keano. You haven't put up much of an argument tbh mate

If only football was that simple.....

It’s incredibly simple.

Successful teams are made up of good players, who are confident, and understand their roles in the team.

There’s a modern fascination with “philosophies”, “systems” and formations. An attempt to portray football as some sort of new age rocket science. It’s not. It’s still the same simple game it’s always been, and quite often the best teams are the ones who keep it the most simple.

He'll take the job because he must know that if he wants back into management in any serious way then he has to take this job. HERE. NOW.

That's how he gets other, better offers. Otherwise he hasn't to bottle to get back in.

He's signing.

Or he could take the job as it could be a great platform to build up in the next 10 years. He might want some stability, most of us do.
