What's wrong with them? Only problematic one I see is Pepe in hindsight. At the time it seemed like a good signing albeit fee was very high.

I would not be happy with any of them at NUFC however as @Manxst says it could be the picks of the DOF that screwed him

He's the absolute best appointment we could have made really.

 

Time to instil a bit of pride back in the footballing identity of the club and nice to have a manager you think could at least give those at the top a fucking good game.

Have the other 19 clubs given us permission to appoint him?

Don't be daft. He's clearly won far too many trophies for a club of our stature, and a club with our commercial revenue shouldn't be allowed to spend 6m a year on our manager's salary. This will be nipped in the butt pretty sharpish.

He wanted Zaha instead…

I've seen it mentioned quite a few times now, do pundits not realise its a good thing he's never taken part in a relegation battle?

It’s very reminiscent of the narrative around Rafa when he stayed on in the Championship and it’s no less unhinged.

His record in the transfer market at Arsenal wasn’t anything outstanding but he was caught up in the post-Wenger politicking. I know that Pepe, for example, was someone bought above his head because he initially wanted Zaha and then Perisic.

 

That said I remember reading something suggesting he wants to be a coach first and foremost. He prefers working with a DOF he trusts so he can get on with stuff.
