After their relegation, they had to rebuild in double quick time

But most of the damage had already been done. It's extremely difficult to turn something like that around, and he couldn't. Which left his managerial career at one success (Reading), one success followed by being f**ked up by the Joorabchian business at West Ham, and one failure. Now, he's probably on his way to a success again.
