He offers stability and consistency (of a better standard that we currently have) even if it's only a baby step forward. And he didn't deserve the stick he got from West Ham considering what he managed to do with them.
He's not the 'blow the doors off the barn' option we'd all like to see take the job, by quite some margin, but we know he has the ability to give us some firm footing away from relegation before we look to that option.
He's a yes from me. Not a very enthusiastic one, but a yes nonetheless.
