Rather unfair. As a player he won the top trophy for a player in Europe. As a manager at Norwich he never lost back-to-back games (at least before the Prem) and in his first season in the Prem he took Norwich, an attractrive to watch Norwich, to a comfortable mid-table finish. Suddenly at Villa something has changed. Is it him? Or outside influences? Is he trying too hard but facing overwhelming difficulties? Caring too much and tying himself up? Or is he as useless as some say? Napoleon III? Nah, he's our Lech Walesa.
