Look at what he did was Swansea, that was what landed him the gig. Took a team in the championship and turned them into a top 10 side in the Premier League in just two years.
They had Rafa, a European Cup winner, waiting in the wings. They had AVB, Cappello etc etc. Genuine winners (AVB, for all his inexperience, has won a Europa League title, and Portuguese titles). But also people who would pull them (FSG) up on their tight way of running the football club.
With respect, we aren't Swansea. Football is about trophies. This guy has won a play-off game. That's it. He has zero European experience, works off a tight budget, and won't complain if the owners don't back him.
The way I see it, it's a massive risk. It may yet work out, but nothing I've seen this year suggests it will. We need a serious challenge on the top four next year, otherwise questions need to be asked.
And contrary to popular belief, this year is not progress.
