Entirely predictable, actually.
Craig seems to do a steady job, but if he'd been that good he would have been elevated before now.
We really need some new ideas to brighten things up, and I hope we are ambitious enough to go for a top-class foreign coach.
I believe the game here is clogged up with talentless British coaches - ie. dead wood - who are continually recycled from Club to Club under the "you scratch my back" syndrome that has dominated the game here.

It would be a bit dissapointing but I wouldn't be too concerned if Tommy Craig became number two. I would prefer a top European coach, but managers often see there assistants as possable threats to themselves, so expect to see a nobody brought in.

He's done ok with the reserves. No idea how he'd do with the first team. So I guess that's a resounding "Eh" from me. ;-)
