Besides I don't mind his media contributions and wry sense of humour; seems to me to be the sort of bloke who has a low tolerance for fools.
Doesn't seem to be coaching 'ugly' any more, reckon Ross has changed his coaching style to suite the modern game, and it's turning out very effective - with a so so side, talent wise.
As for questionable character (guess you're referring to how he left the Aints and his alleged inappropriate comments to a woman at a party) I think that's harsh and over-the-top, who hasn't stuffed up?
Is he for us? Dunno. Maybe, maybe not. Point is, the bloke can coach and coach well.
His media moments are cringeworthy, and his coaching prowess is over stated IMO. As for coaching ugly, I guess you missed R2 and R3, which prompted Matt Lloyd to say "gee, you'd hate to be a forward under Ross Lyon", or words to that effect.
As for stuffing up, maybe, just maybe, the incident at the Xmas party counts as that (he didn't handle the aftermath of that too well IMO), but the swapping clubs was simply calculated deceit, not accidental stuffing up.
Sorry, big no from me. If the club insists on a new Messiah, we have to do better than him.
