When he came here I just knew he'd taken Fulham and Watford from the Championship so thought we're onto a good thing here. Now he's gone I checked his record out.
Fulham - the season he took over they had been in the Prem for 13 consecutive seasons, compared to our 11 in over 50 years and the Pigs 15 in 36 years , so had the infrastructure, players and financial backing to get back up. It actually took him four seasons to get there and he was relegated in the first season back, despite transfer spending of over £115 million during his tenure. He was sacked and replaced by Claudio Ranieri.
Watford - surprised he was only there from October 2014 to May2015 being the 4th manager in 5 weeks. He took them up that season but was not offered an adequate contract to stay there and went to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Make of it what you will.
