Exactly. The Villa players hated him by the end as well.
Even his success at Rangers wasn't all that. Yes, he won the league, but he was up against Neil Lennon's Celtic, and lost in the cups to St Mirren and St Johnstone. Even Van Bronckhorst got further in the Euorpa league the following season.
Corberan is relatively experienced compared to the likes of Gerrard and Parker. He's punched above his weight at Huddersfield, and he did a great job at one of the biggest clubs in the league in West Brom. He isn't Bielsa, but that's good. His teams are fit, solid and hard to beat, and keep the ball really well, and attack with pace.
I'd want Rodgers ideally, but realistically, Corberan is the smart choice.
