"I want us to play different. A different shape to other teams, but it is what I believe in. I think it could be exciting for the football club."

I'm still not sold on this appointment but he's got my full backing, personally the games before the world cup break I don't think anyone should make any judgement either way on it. Let him/his team implement their theory's & ideas over the mini pre season while the world cups on and let's see how we are performing after that
 
You seriously judge a football manager based on the number of times he says ‘err’ in interviews?
Obviously not! My point was about how well spoken he was in that 2 minutes, in some of Rooney’s interviews it sounds like he says warm for 2 minutes!
 
Of course we have time. He has the whole of this season now to ensure we don't get relegated and we show signs of improvement. Given where we are now, I think that's the most anyone will expect from him, including the owners. And in terms of avoiding relegation, it's not like we're 6 points adrift and into the last 10 games of the season.
We have the worst defence in the league by a long way and look bereft of ideas when in the final third. I admire your optimism but even if his target is only to avoid relegation the odds are stacked against. We will likely be heading into Christmas in the bottom 3 with more changes to the squad required.
 
His league 1 record was decent enough, from a small sample size. Stretch that out across the whole season and it should be enough for the play offs next season
 
The way to allay fans fears is to pick a sensible team and formation certainly at first but if you go cavalier the fans will soon revert to ‘what the f****s he doing ‘ and please have the conviction not to include players like Coyle if you don’t think he’s effective . That’s not my opinion necessarily as it applies to a good few ! Key for me is organisation , hard to beat yen we’ll worry about flair later .
