You see I disagree - same track record as Gus as coach/assistant where he did a lot of those things you talk about, with the bonus that we saw him handle the post AVB fall-out at Spurs reasonably well. They'd take 6th now wouldn't they?
He did OK at Spurs in firefighting circumstances, will stand up to the board for cash for players and will stand up to the players because he's played at a higher level than them. His gobby ways will entertain us after the Osco-Sam rigor mortis show. Will get the season ticket sales back on...
