He's used to salary caps and so on. He said he'd want to be a winner, and would rather not get involved than be an also-ran! Of the ex-players you mention John Barnes is a great guy and a legend on the field but never seemed cut out for coaching. Aldo's got the passion and did ok in his management role at Tranmere under difficult circumstances. Molby is a very intelligent and observant guy when it comes to football. Not sure about Houghton, last time I heard him talking about us he seem trapped in the distant past, but that was a while back now. (Just my views on them).
