Jesus wept!! It's not confirmed we are in talks with him yet, never mind he has not actually been offered the job and he is getting slagged off!!

Never managed outside of Russian - ok, Fergie had never managed outside UK, Kopp had never managed outside Germany before Liverpool, Wenger had managed in a crap league in Japan, Bruce never outside of England, and Mourniho started off as a translator!

Slutsky has managed the top team in Russia alongside running the national side, think that qualifies him to run championship club

His English may not be perfect but sounds like he has been studying English since coming here, has lived in London a while now, and at a guess the interview (if he has actually had one) would have been carried out in English and not Russian. I think it's fair to say he will have a decent grasp of the language.

At least give the guy a chance

Precisely. Why judge him before he's even been hired?
 
On a serious note .. don't know anything about Slutsky .. never heard of him tbh before he suddenly appeared in the betting for our job .. don't know how he sets his teams up or the style of play he likes .. Monk on the other hand is someone I've kept an eye on since getting the Swansea job and have always been impressed .. having said that I'd never heard of Marco before he came here and he did ok

Think he was manager of the awful Russia side at the last Euros.

He didn't start as a translator, he had jobs before doing that.

And just a point - you start your post stating we haven't confirmed we're in talks never mind offering him a job and then you ask for him to be given a chance. How can we if the former hasn't happened?

Fair enough, ref Jose.

Last point is semantics. We don't know if he has been offered a job yet. However he has been written off by some already as not been able to manage in England. He needs to be given tothe chance, with us or someone else, before we say he can't manage in England.
