Never been a real fan of his management style but I’ve been watching his formations and use of players whilst at Sunderland. He knows what he has got and he uses his squad to its best, not for what he wants. I know the Swans did the double over him this season, but really I felt until the sending off at their place we were lucky and the second half at home was also very fortunate.
He is a much older manager than Martin granted and has the experience, but surely it isn’t that hard to take stock of what abilities your squad have and then identify the best way of going about your next opponent.
Point in case, todays win at Norwich. And the amount of injuries he has is incredible.

I read he wouldn’t fit in with us.
Too old apparently . |  |

Some leaders take years to develop. | |

He seems to me to be an more experienced version of Martin have learned some tough lessons on the way. Both are mid table managers of inconsistent football teams.
Ideal for Preston a team that trundles along mid table for decades. |  |

Listened to his after match interview , he talks so much sense . He stated that he instructs his side to always play forward whenever possible because that is where the oppositions' goal is and where you score! He also said that he has used young French players who the club have acquired from the French leagues to occasionally replace his injured players . The biggest problem though is the communication barrier he doesn't speak French they don't speak English but are having lessons . He was full of praise for them and recognised their pain when not playing and sitting on the bench by their facial expressions . It was a process he said of slow integration - The championship he said is a league where you have to introduce players who are not used to it gradually because of its intensity.
He had even been called Gerrard Depardieu because the players thought that he looked like the actor , mainly because he said , of his big nose lol.
He said he is very happy at Sunderland because he doesn't have to travel 2 hours to get to the training ground it is under an hour from his house and he can become more of a fulltime dad to his sons and spend more time with them and correct them in their behavioural attitude when it needs doing !
I could listen to the guy all day long he makes tactics and pressing the ball so simplistic - a real goldmine of knowledge and showed it today in nullifying Norwich. He never makes excuses after games and accepts the hand he has been dealt . | | | |
