Looking on here and some other boards it would seem people would be distictly grateful to Glen but totally underwhelmed.
To answer your question, he will be unquestionably backed and supported by everyone. After all no bugger wanted Souness but there wasnt rioting on the terraces was there?
He'll be backed to the hilt right up until he gets sacked to make way for Shearer, which is FFS's avowed aim. Everyone, I'd imagine, who applied or was approached was only too aware of that.
