I'm not complaining, just confused.

I started at QPR, got them promoted in the first season then resigned and went to Preston, who had been relegated the previous season to League One. I got them promoted in the second season (I came in very late in the first) and won the Johnstone's Paint, only to resign again. Hull then took me up, I resigned because the players lost confidence in me after two games for no reason, (this is 2012 now) and went to Sporting Gijon in Spain. I got them promoted, then finished 10th in Liga BBVA, and resigned again (I just get bored). Ipswich offered me the job in 2015, I got them promoted to the Premier League then West Ham approached me. I accepted, then got them relegated. I'm a free agent for 7 months then out of nowhere AS Roma offer me a job on £55k a week in 2017. They'd been hovering around 2nd-7th in Serie A since the start of the game and were in an astoundingly good financial state. Why did they appoint me over an unemployed Robert Mancini?
 
You have a quality record of getting clubs promoted maybe?

Yeah, thats the most likely reason but it seems weak considering the expectations they had of me when I joined (finish 2nd in Serie A, get to Semis of Champions Cup).
 
Oh that's weird... I've read something about how you get jobs at higher clubs before.. It's really complicated and I can't completely remember but.. Basically, you get points every time you achieve something as a manager, Say if you win the Prem you get 20 points, making you one of the top managers in the world, compared to the BSP getting you only, say 3 points. The more you win the higher leagues (Even 2nd tier) The more points you get, therefore increasing your reputation.. Probably why it was so easy for you to get the jobs such as Hull etc. So basically my theory is, it was a complete fluke :)
 
It was between you, Mike Bassett and Tony Adams and Bazil Brush,and the other 3 failed to turn up for the interview on time.
