or that he won't turn out to be a good manager ... just that there's a hell of long way to go before it'll possible to say - many of us thought lambert/neill/farke were god's gift ... and each certainly had his merits, but none are now at the top of the game (tho I seem to recall that lambert won the champions league, pretty much on his own, someone might have mentioned it)
