He put Villarreal on the map for a town with a population of 30000 ish

He would have the skill to steady the ship with free transfers at somewhere like Rotherham, and at the same time would recruit hard on youngsters. That's his general mo.

Taking Isco out of retirement and having him roll back the years. Then gets Sokratis at 35 for free who slotted straight in CB.

All the while bloods Diao out of the B team who has spent the last 3 months being tracked by Liverpool, Man u etc.

The part where Betis shaft themselves with 50% ownership of players with Barca sucks, but then fans are probably lucky to have players that would never play for them any other way.

His nickname 'The Engineer' is very apt because he makes things happen with nothing, and it works if clubs invest time in him.
