Has he really ? There are surely only two promotions on his CV ? Gillingham from lge 2 and Stoke into the premiership in his second stint there, and really that is the only period of his career that is a success story. Far more failures, far more sackings for misconduct, and far more court cases with chairmen.
As you can guess, I really dislike the man and his football. A thoroughly nasty piece of work all round, typified IMO by trying to defraud Palace out of several million whiuch the courts made him pay back.
