I know very, very little about him, but I am looking forward to his tenure and am optimistic (possibly naively) that it will be a success. I know some people have raised issues about his style of football, but after Puel I really cannot see Les and the board would have recruited someone who isn't looking to reinstall the excitement factor again.

Now to back him in the transfer market, the most important thing of all.

So imagine if we were to lose VVD and Romeu and our leading goal scorer (whoever that was) then lose both our starting centre backs at Christmas without replacing them and have Gabiodini missing for 3/4 of the season. Given that, Pellegrino will have to finish top 6 and win a cup or risk getting the sack. Welcome and good luck!

So Arsenal,Chelsea,Man City,Man Utd,Liverpool,Everton,Spurs all have foreign mangers? and they give us stick? Thankfully I don't tune in to that channel.

Idiots. You hire the best man for the job, regardless of nationality. In any other profession if you chose candidate A over candidate B because B was a foreigner you'd have a lawsuit on your hands! In football it is encouraged. It is different with players as there are rules that mean you need a certain number of homegrown players.

Besides, we wanted Eddie Howe last year but he wasn't interested. Not exactly our fault.

Will MP2 get a testimonial if he completes his contract....three years would be some kind of record.

It's becoming our trade mark. Not complaining though, losing players and managers who leave for better jobs is simply a credit to our recruitment process. In reality Puel was our re-incarnation of Pardew. Got us to Wembley which was great but that was not the primary objective

So the process is just restarting? That means MP2 is actually the new Nigel Adkins!

It wasn't the results that got Puel the sack.

If we take a cup seriously and finish eighth, and along the way start get some identity football being played, then I'll be happy. If we bring through a couple youngsters & piss L'pool off, I'll be very pleased.
