Yet every other choice made sense. This one doesn't. I wouldn't have joined in at all, but I agree with Tom and, frankly, his viewpoint was being sneered at, so I joined in. This might beba clever move, but it is not an ambitious one IMFO.

Maybe, maybe not. It's the lack of objectivity which is hard to get your head around from my perspective.

You may well be right, but we don't know as yet. The more actual research I've done on Puel, the more comfortable I feel with the choice, personally.

Yes, which is why I am shocked he is not bringing fully his own coaching team - or using Sammy Lee. Somewhere we've been told a lie as other coaches wanted their own staff - apparently - and so had to be rejected. Better coaches. Now, the coach we want has such bad English that a man forever tarnished by that Villa season is brought in. Not good. No way.
 
Looking forward to hear the guy talk of this opportunity, you can often gauge a lot from that. Be nice to have the kit reveal as well, start getting excited once more.
But for now, all I have is Portugal in the sweepstake, a draining week of work & a 1001 things to do tomorrow, so night all.

Eh? How do you know it's not his choice? How do you know it has anything to do with his linguistic ability? Do you know what Puel's English is like?
