I think it's also worth flagging that he got them relegated too, which included a run of 5 points and 4 goals in 15 games, and then he won 3 of 14 First Division matches the following season before being sacked. OK, Dunfermline tend to struggle in the SPL anyway, but it's still a poor record.
I agree that he should have been brought into the national setup. And while I don't agree with the "pub league" comment, I do think we need to have some perspective of the LoI's level. Which is poor, albeit not remotely pub-league-y.
