Duuuuuuude, had he won that match?!?!? They'd have ERECTED A STATUE OF HIM outside The Stadium.
That's the fine line right there.

Can't agree....the cup final he bottled it imo...our only chance of anything this season fell into his hands, go out and attack and win...or die trying.....and he bottled it. No excuses imo....Yes.
Arguing against it because he doesn't have the requisite "experience" is just plain silly. If we set that as a metric for qualifications in all of life, well we'd all miss pretty much every one of the truly unique & special talents in the world.
I dont care ab out his age, his level of pro coaching experience, or whether he has a cool haircut.
What I care about, is how does the team perform under his direction on the pitch, and does that result in "success" (however you measure that).
So far, he's done a FANTASTIC job.
I said he was a serious candidate the day he was appointed. Rule him out at your peril.

We tried that, supposedly, and failed, with the bloke that’s now going to Roma!A fab club man doing good work with the players...long term coach? Not for me. It’s too big a job to nurturer a newbie...we already know as fans our patience has been stretch beyond comprehension another period like we have endured already would ruin the young man! We need a top top manager to eradicate the negativity and lack of winning mentality that seems to linger season after season. Positive courageous approach from the club that shows they want success as much as us supporters...
then we disagree....I thought we stunk the place out. Whilst the history books will show it as a narrow loss....it was anything but that. I can't imagine any 'decent ' team playing as bad as us...especially in the first half.Your opinion. But I can't beleive you're really thinking thru what was going on in the lad's life & mind at the time.
Your expectation is absolutely ridiculous.
I dont care what experienced top level world class most trophy winning coach in the history of mankind guy, in charge for those first 2 matches, and I 1,000,000% doubt the results would be any better. And IN FACT, I'd go so far as to say i beleive he did better than most would have.
We lost the cup to a late goal by a guy that pretty much everyone with a brain cell beleives shouldn't have been on the pitch at the time. Perspective.

We lost that game when Sissoko came on.

He hasn't earned the right to manage any Premier league club.
This weird obsession with appointing ex players with zero experience is baffling.
This 100%. It would be a mistake of EPIC proportions....
