Not sure anybody thought he was long-term option when he joined us. That he joined us was not down to his talents as a squad-builder or manager with yrs of success either.
Fair fucks to him. Did way better than I thought he would and ultimately did what we needed him to do which was steady the ship and erase the madhouse the club had become during the Wendy months. Even throw in an unexpected Brucey bonus of the CL. Unfortunately that season appears to be the outlier, the anomoly.
Still, he did well enough to get a mention in the England stakes and without his involvment with THFC he wasn't getting to within a sniff of that even.
If we manage to somehow claw a top 4 spot back then we'll both have gotten real benefits out of the arrangment. If not, then we'll need to clear out half a dozen players of the first team squad members who are eligable for their bus passes.
Also - thank fuck Poyet wasn;t and won't be the next guy. *shudder*
