    Doubt he'll see out that 3 years. He'll either do well and get poached or do **** and get sacked.

    Suggests that we will be keeping him regardless of whether we survive this season

    There'll be a slight pay rise, but also a significant clause to prevent him being poached.

    Seriously though, there could be the third "Ralph" way where we just promise enough and get tanked 9-0 occasionally to put off potential suitors.

    Three-year contract. So basically just replacing the year that’s just elapsed, plus a pay rise and a rise in compensation costs. Sounds prudent and fair

    I’m a lot more comfortable with RM being in charge since he showed that he could change the lineup.
    Going to 3 CBs made us harder to score against and I would expect us to use that formation quite a bit in the Premier League.
    I also think the defence was more confident with Macca in goal and they didn’t have to fanny around as much with the ball in the area.

    Assume it’s for a payrise/maybe better compensation package if he gets poached.

    Clearly deserves the chance in the PL as he did what he was brought into do. Time will tell how he adapts to the strength of the division
