I think thats a good summing up. 
I think that and his ambition is probably what got him the job. He seems to be well liked in the game, and a recommendation from Alex McLeish is testament to that.
Good Luck Owen, and welcome to Dingle land  |
the guy is mr scottish football..he has been around since I was a youngster going games in scotland and he only stopped playing a couple of seasons ago
- there wont be a player he doesnt know about in scotland and he also spent time in holland studying ajaxs training set up and with borrusia dortmund to look at their youth development set up in order to get his coaching badges so he is fairly clued up on the game all in all - I really dont think not knowing the championship will daunt him..but it will be interesting to see if he brings any scottish players down with him as he's good at finding youngsters...
all in all burnley done their homework on him and may see the potential..
