Why

What has he achieved that others have not ?

His football style is not majorly different to Warnocks, he is defence first and direct.

He Failed at Birmingham and Norwich
Been sacked twice in the premier league because his teams are close to relegation

His 1 real success was promoting Brighton , the Newcastle time was nailed on whoever was in charge.

He is a ok manager but would not excite me or fill me with confidence he could get this side promoted

Mike Flynn with Lennie Lawrence.

I think they've done a more than credible job at County

Let's see :

Failed to get promotion

Knocked out of europa league early

Knocked out of all cups early

Lost a winnable play off semi against Blackpool when favourites

Lasted less than a year in the job

Where exactly was he successful ?
