Have your rest their comments because they don't match up. Had a habit of going on long good runs and then very shit ones. Had a habit of changing tactics mid-game and players don't have a clue what they are doing. Had favourite players that are undroppable no matter how bad they are playing, good runs usually come about because his favourite players are injured/unavailable and he had to change the team, laughs in interviews when in the middle of losing 8 games in a row and getting knocked out of cup games to non-league teams. Has never finished in the top 6 and no matter how you dress that up it's shite.
The amount of f***ing shit points far outweigh his good.
I'll say it again, good managers start their careers really well, they don't take over 7 years to have a team reach into the playoffs, in fact they have had a promotion or two by then no matter what club they were in charge of
I have explained to you that he started it well. You have a very simplistic idea that a manager must have won a promotion in his first job, irrespective of the resources and expectations of the club in the question. It defies sense and logic that if a manager took over Wigan tomorrow in his early 30s and led them to 7th by the end of the season, he'd have done anything other than a stellar job because he hadn't reached a play-off or won a promotion.
