yup yup. maybe i'm wrong, but i think a lot of people weren't comfortable with a foreign manager. then that was made worse by the fact that he's a blank-faced swede who didn't know how to navigate the tabloid media. so loads of people got convinced "our players are great. what we need is an english manager." but in the end, he made those players gel into a solid team that consistently did pretty well, if not spectacularly.
