(although aren't you supposed to give the sugar AFTER the medicine...hmmm...I wonder what might be announced in the next 48 hours)
Between us we probably despise every single pundit... there is a difference between getting annoyed at a TV persona and having genuine reservations over someone's suitability for an appointment, but 90% of this thread is the former, 10% the latter. Anyway, once people decide they don't like someone, that will colour their judgement.
I'm not convinced that he's a shining light in the coaching world, but, how would I know? How would any of you lot know? He convinced enough people to give him a job as manager despite having no experience. He must have some sort of positive reputation, he must have impressed a few people on some score. It seems he's not found a way to translate whatever strengths he has into becoming a successful club manager, but that obviously won't be his role here.
I think it's a positive sign: the lunatics are not running the asylum. There is some sort of leadership in place. You know you're in trouble when decisions are made to placate the fans. Newcastle/Allardyce/Keegan/Shearer being the biggest example of that in recent memory.
