Working in Saudi has nothing to do with gaining experience 😂 it’s only money
He moved to Villa too early , should have stayed at Rangers a bit longer and then maybe looked to move to a team at the start of a season
It was the new season that was his downfall with Villa.
When he first moved there, he got some good results - losing only to us and City in his first six games. Bit of a sticky period after that but ended the season alright, again losing only to us and City in the final eight games of the season.
Then in the summer they spent a fair whack on a number of players who didn't quite work out (doesn't help that the centre half he was putting his hopes on went down injured for the season so early on either), he had a public spat with Mings and the results weren't great with just one win in his last eight as manager.
Not bothered about him going to Saudi, it's something new for him. Don't think he'd be getting another top flight job over here any time soon so a chance for him to try and prove himself somewhere else. The money helps but he did turn the job down a few months back so something has changed - maybe he didn't think the Saudi league would attract the players it has but now that it has, he thinks there is a future over there. Dunno if the family will move over there with him.
