I believe there has been somewhat better news in recent times [on his wife's health]. I think he [O'Neill] is certainly a very strong candidate. He's comfortable in dealing with the press. He'll defend himself. He takes a close interest in what the press says and I know if he were a candidate and being considered for the job he would think quite hard about that aspect of it, because I think outside the city of Glasgow the England manager is pretty much top of the pile.
