Agree with most of the above. It was the lure of the tangerine that he couldn't resist. As a lifelong Arab he must be gutted with the results he has achieved. It was a mistake for him to go and I know it took a lot of thinking and talking before he made the decision. He was actually quite happy in Inverness, but I repeat the chance of managing the team he supports was too bit an opportunity to resist. Also 2 or 3 times his salary!!! Could any of you refuse that??
I believe that he meant the loyalty thing when he said it but then circumstances changed and we did get a nice package for letting him go. I don't have a huge problem with any of that.
I do have a prolem with how he unsettled our team trying to get a number of them to sign for Utd. He didn't have the money available and I believe insulted ICT with the pitiful offers made for our top players. He dealt with things badly through the press. He gets praised by the press for being honest, but some times you just have to keep quiet.
I think Dunfermline could be a good move for him. He'll have some fresh ideas for them, but he'll also have the guidance and experience of JL. I think he needs to serve his apprenticeship in management and I think JL could be a great mentor.
He made the mistake of jumping ship far too early and I think he would be the first to agree with that, but the pars will be happy to have him and JL will keep him on a tight leash.
