Only in football can people who are extremely under qualified to do a job can feel happy telling someone very qualified to do it, that they have a huge amount to learn....imagine that in any other job in the world? ??

Elvis hasn’t just changed people’s minds. It hasn’t just been a case of the more people have seen the more they realised he’s quite good....he has improved with every minute he’s played.
That’s no surprise at all...the surprise is people just seem to think a player coming in and struggling will always be struggling or needs to go back to a level they’ve already mastered (in this case U23s football) and somehow miraculously improve....
The skill of the manager (in this case CP) is to recognise that a) a player has learned all he can learn at the lower level and b) that he has the ability and determination to improve quickly at the next level!!!
Elvis has done that. In my eyes there was never any doubt. Will he keep improving, yes I think he will.
I hear he was very close to leaving last January and I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t go this time.
