When speaking to his daughter yesterday, she used the word 'dynasty' to describe what she hopes her Dad will do with Albion. He 'aint going nowhere.
Agreed but it won't stop some clubs trying.
That said on further reflection I think the only job that might tempt him would be the England job in 2-3 years time.
This is where the stupid obsession in football with "big name" and "proven track record" plays into our hands. As badly as he was treated, and as unfair the label is, the reality is that he's widely seen as a very good Championship manager who has never done anything in the Premier League. That will stop the vast majority of clubs coming in for him, certainly the bigger clubs that would be very hard to refuse. If that just leaves the teams that will be in and around us, then I don't see why he would even consider leaving.
I see him being here for a long time, and sincerely hope that if we are struggling next season, we follow the Burnley model rather than a knee-jerk sacking in the hope of a 2-3 game "bounce".

Might change if we have a good enough first season though.
