I wouldn't regard any manager who sticks rigidly with the same formation and tactics as forward thinking. Giving him credit for winning promotion with Wednesday is a tad generous as he was only there for the last 2 months of that season. The abysmal way Wednesday started the following season with his failure to get us promoted are probably the main reasons no Championship side ended up employing him. Billy Davies was another who got close to promotion but disappeared into oblivion.
