    Attended the defeat at Craven Cottage on Saturday, as per The Times.

    Gao’s people led this one after losing faith in people at the club.

    He's coached 8 teams in ten years and lasted three months in the Premier League last time so I'm sure he'll be a good fit.

    Are his initials MP? If not I’m not interested.

    Sounds like an inspired choice...or maybe just a cheap choice.

    I'm keeping an open mind as he was a bit of a novice when he last managed in England and appears to have had a fairly decent record with Basel and Fiorentina.
    I can't remember much about his managerial style of play, is he a high tempo pressing merchant or slow possession?

    I will say that at least their appears to be decisive action this season, we couldn't carry on as we were.

    Put it this way, he is nowhere near as unknown as Pellegrino was.

    I'd rather it was Sousa than the managerial merry-go-round usual suspects, Fat Sam and Moyes anyway.

    Just seen his record.. the thing that stands out for me is he doesn't seem to hang around anywhere too long. But not a bad record overall.
