Probably a better managerial record than most journeymen lower league managers. His average would get you 72/73 points in a 46 game season.
 
I don't understand why people are dismisive of him.
Yes he was limited but effective at times.
 
Don’t forget, his league two/one team were much better than the current team…. apparently.

Well it was if you ignore two facts, the fact he didn’t get us promoted, and the fact that every season at least one of the promoted League One clubs become the whipping boys of the Championship, highlighting the huge step up the Championship is from League One.

Saying that, his record here was creditable, managing to pick up in excess of 70 points each time of asking, in keeping with his average. You can’t deny his contribution to our rise from the bottom. Well, you can if you’re the producer of Jack to a King, but you know what I mean.
 
Surely you can't just sack a manager because his team are not doing well? Whatever next?
 
He’s a decent manager who does better than most people give him credit for. Given the clubs he’s worked for and the resources at his disposal I’d say he’s a relatively safe pair of hands.
 
How old is he? He seems to have been around for ever.
