Sherwood from the moment he was given the caretaker role used his time to promote himself as "a manager". His press-conf (pre & post) were mainly all about him, "his" delight and "his" disgust, "his" win ratio. And you have to say that it worked a treat, he got to manage a couple of clubs on what would have been x10 (at least) his salary he got as development coach, it also enabled him to now have a regular media pundit slot (and these too are very well paid).
Ryan, I think wants a serious role in coaching, he's only 29 and his stint as interim would have been an invaluable experience to help him in his development. It also would have promoted his status within the Club's coaching team, placing him way above anyone else. What a massive opportunity for him!!
If Nuno doesn't work out then he's available again to step into the breach too, during the brief spell he did better than the world-class dinosaur, this would have given him enormous belief. So glad, as expected, that he's back at it. I think it was only the melts that have got their knickers in a twist over Mason.
