You can only base him on the sort of player he is really. Has always been a key player wherever he has gone and I always thought he played the game the right way. Also, he was probably one of the toughest players who could play the game too so hopefully he can bring that to his coaching. All coaches start somewhere, That's if there is any truth at all in this.
But surely this cannot be true, remember Pope has been after the head coach job for years hasn't he? And now he's after someone else in the role? I suppose the moaners are right, there are no limits to how sneaky Pope can be; he's even stealing his own job off himself now and giving it to some else! :lol:
