Might matter long-term. Initially all that matters is that he's not the other guy

That alone provides a lift in situations like this. It's like OGS at Man U - when he started results improved dramatically, not because he was any good but because he wasn't Mourinho. They then mistakenly gave him a long contract before they reached that point where the important thing was what he WAS not what he WASN'T.
