He was brilliant at Betis, took over them in admin

and only failed to get auto promotion on points (then the head to head meant Hercules went up instead)

Season after he walked the division title

In admin he got them to the Europa League, then his board sold 10 players, and sacked him when he brought very cheap signings in

He should have left before his board made their failings a point of blame on him
