I've always thought Tigana to be a bit of an oily, match-chewing git and I'm not sure our in-the-trenches Brit players would take to him. They're never going to have the same rapport with him that they had with working class Brits like Adams or Coppell.
My worry with Tigana is that hes never had to operate on a tight budget with a small squad. Althoguh he could be usefull for attracting young french talent!!!!
