Christ, he's not that bad.
Imagine their season had been played out the other way around; they lose their first 1, then go on a remarkable run and stay up by one point - he'd be hailed a fucking magician.
He's kept his largely shite side in the League, so he can obviously manage.

8 points in 20 games and getting humped by Utd's reserve team on the final crunch game of the season is still pretty atrocious though.
I don't know how good or bad a manager he is - I just can't stand the guy. He loves himself far too much.

Swings and roundabouts though Ken. He went to Arsenal and won earlier in the season, and had them in the top 6 for half the season.
He hit a bad patch when teams figured them out, and didn't have good enough players to adjust.
I'm not a big fan of his personality either, but he's obviously a capable manager. That he took a side like Hull into the League in the first place is testament enough.
