You're missing the point - I'm not saying he's a rubbish manager. I'm asking if he's done anything which marks him out amongst other top-level managers. When the Man United job looked like it was available, his name was pushed forward. He's constantly linked with Chelsea - I'm asking why, seeing as he has not done anything which makes him any better than any other manager of that level.
Consider his record against previous England managers - I see nothing which stands out.
