And regarding MON, he managed a great team at Celtic that certainly wasn't just based on counter attacking, he had to go out to beat the (albeit limited) opposition. Played great football and we were a big powerful team. Beating the likes of Liverpool.
I think he'd do a good job at the bigger clubs. Sure he probably does need to expand on scouting systems etc, but whatever he does, it works and is effective.
He'd be better than Dalglish anyway.
