I'd have him back on the recruitment side of things in a flash. Way too many contacts in the game with their fingers on the pulse of young British talent to ignore.
Yet we ignore it lol.
Yep spot on. He just wasn't a very good coach. I just cant forget how utterly clueless and lacking in confidence the team was before he was sacked. But he did suffer from our annual wave of bad luck with injuries.
I'd warmly welcome him back in any capacity except 1st team coach.
