That was his reputation though wasn't it?

This is where it gets so confusing. He was good with young players, but then ignored the ones on our doorstep. So if he'd stayed perhaps he would have actually looked at what he was good at, and developed from there.

I've no idea. Just comes back to my usual theory that there aren't actually many good managers at all.
