He possesses the same qualities that has given the likes of Ryan Taylor so much leeway - one positive attribute that when it happens has massive effect but in actuality rarely happens but he's a canny lad and he trains well so he'll get kept around. Keeping others out of the frame in the process. I know Perez is'nt a winger but he is more effective and has hell of a lot more to bring.
It's mental to compare cabellas season of stunted starts and wank coaching to a full four years of unregulated anonymity from obertan. That's not necessarily saying that cabellas done a lot it's just outlandish to say he's done far more.
The manager has changed and seems like a decent human being with a modicum of success behind him. Nothing has changed at board level as far as I can see.
