I don't think we're very lucky to have him

He's done really well here overall and is obviously a decent manager. But we are probably quite a good fit for his level: too good for the Championship, not good enough for the Premier League.

To be honest, a club with more ruthless owners would probably be on the verge of getting rid of him and getting someone in who was a bit more pragmatic and experienced at this level.
