Yeah, if he is the wrong man but the idea is right then maybe Jim can step up with the kids. I just thik the 'project' is still the right option for a team and an organisation that badly needed a hard rest in almost every department at the upper echelons.
Jim is an impressive bloke. He has risen to every incremental challenge in his career path, but quietly. A fellow Tallaght boy I played with him at schoolboy level, he was in the team one age group older than me that I togged out for a bit, as a sub mostly, but he's only a few months older. He was born in the states and never played for a team before he signed for our club. Soon he was the best player on the team, but never ever flashy. Was naturally a CM but liked to play CB against weaker teams and just take in what was happening. Captain but never said a word. Then to Bohs and step by step to the Premier League with Newcastle. He was really shy and now he handles the press with calm respect.
