He had a fairly decent record in Sweden (which doesn't mean a lot) and a decent second half of the season with Swansea. Whether one season, finishing mid-table, in the Championship is a qualification for managing a nearly-relegated PL club is another question. Hopefully he's like Hughton; good in the Championship, but finds the PL a bit too challenging.
