I'm not sure but perhaps:

He doesn't have the reputation that comes with a glittering playing career. He seems to have taken a particular road in coaching and it's difficult to get back on the right treadmill. A large proportion of fans would be up in arms if their club appointed some old Welsh league bloke and he wouldn't get the time. Or one can be an encylopedia of knowledge but also sound like an encyclopedia.

He seems to have done well this year but I don't know the circumstances.
