I'm intrigued, I like him as a person, he seems like a decent guy, he's seemingly well respected by the players, and overall he's done well here, and has been by far our best centre defender in recent history, but as a manager I don't know, what type of style of play would he implement? Will it work being a player manager? Will he be soft with people he would consider "friends"? Will he have to shave of his mullet to look more professional (and therefore lose his powers)? One thing is for sure, i'd rather have him in charge then Pardew.
