05/06 saved Blackpool from relegation.
06/07 Blackpool promoted through the play offs.
07/08 Blackpool finished 19th in the Championship (not great but their best placed finish since 77/78).
08/09 Leeds finished fourth in League One but lost out in the play offs.
09/10 Leeds finished second and were promoted.
10/11 Leeds finished seventh.
11/12 sacked by Leeds when they were 10th in the table (they finished in 14th place.
11/12 took Huddersfield to a play off final (next Saturday).
All in all not a bad record. One problem is that he signed a three year deal at Huddersfield just three months ago. I, for one, will be happy to renew my season ticket if he is appointed.
