What I would say is that managerial success is more reliant on luck and ‘fit’ than we account for. I think there’s a few elite managers, a few bad managers and the rest are all very similar. They will have a great season or two (perhaps based on having a group of players they connect with or having one player who has a freak run of form) then they land another job and look completely useless.

Potter, Nuno, Moyes etc are all great examples.

When was his prime exactly? I must’ve missed it
