Probably he wouldn't be WRC2, JWRC champion, 3rd place in ERX (with EKS), 8th WRX (again EKS) and sitting for four years in factory Skoda without EVEN. Yes he would achieve that like Bertelli for example. So it's not that bad to have them as managers.
Not that they won't, they can't if the driver market was so full these days with much talent and Kalle next rising star it's even harder even for them to achieve a factory seat.
