There are plenty of novice managers in European football who have gone straight in at the deep end with some of Europe's biggest clubs and even their national sides, sometimes with considerable success, but it's still more of a gamble than hiring a manager with a proven track record of success. Warburton hasn't had a chance to do that, but the other thing is that unlike most of those successes he doesn't have a history with the club (or even with Scottish football) and the knowledge and experience of dealing with the pressure of expectation that goes with that. You're right though that knowledge of the game as a whole is important, and he can bring something different to us. Main thing will of course be getting the results on the park.
