He might be a decent manager. He does fulfill the most important criteria sevco was looking for - he was free. But if he insists on a 4 year contract with full payout if/when he is sacked, then the downward spiral continues.
He will have to be an excellent coach who can improve players as he will not get any real investment. I don't think their players are as shite as most of our fans say, but our squad is far more talented. I think Sima, Tavpen, Beaton, Raskin, Walsh, Collum, Dallas, Dickinson, etc, will all contribute significantly to sevco getting much-needed wins this season.
I think if this appointment works out for them then sevco have a really good chance of finishing second in the league this season.
