I may have one or two bad words to say about Gus regarding the manner of his departure, but, your point stands and is a valid one. We were rudderless when he arrived and looking completely out of sorts. He stopped the slide, turned us around and gave us a magnificent chamionship winning season...
He'll do ok, just don't expect him to hang around too long. I think Gus would be quite well suited to how you play in fairness, lack of funds may put him off though.
