Not really. Worthington hasn't had anything like the same resources.

Managing Liverpool in the early 90s, Rangers in the late 80s or Galatasaray in 1996 isn't quite the same as managing Norwich in the early 21st century, I'd say.

As far as I'm concerned they're both completely s**t in their own special ways.
