Just really think he'd serve himself better by taking his time and picking a Championship side with a high probability of making the top five or six and getting them promoted or very close to it....making his management bones in that way.

Trying to right a sinking ship could just as easily prove to people that he's an assistant as it could prove he's a manager.
