The biggest thing for me is how sold he seems on the vision and what’s to come for the club. Exciting times ahead, can’t believe it’s actually happening. 35 days ago we had Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce, ffs, and not a pot to piss in.

He's just a decent bloke, you know he truly means what he says. We're all hoping it works out but if its doesn't it wont be from the want of him trying and giving it his all. We're all called deluded but all we want is a team and a manager that tries and cares, looks like we're going to have it.

Good press conference, I pure love him now.

 

People need to chill out about the journalists asking about SA, finding it canny embarrassing people are so sensitive about it.  It's both inevitable and good. If we're going to be part of a sportswashing operation I feel a bit better about it if it's countered a little by people highlighting the negatives of Saudi Arabian regime. Don't take it so personally.

Yeah I agree there, though as I’ve said before I still don’t really see the evidence of this sportswashing aside from a few idiots wearing tea towels and waving Saudi flags. The negative attitudes seem to outweigh this significantly. 
 

I just find the sportswashing view has been used to describe this takeover as an unquestionable fact from the media, but if that’s what they’re trying then they need to up their game.

Just a very impressive guy all round. His dedication, intensity, application and obsession with being the best he can be shines through. He seems like the kind of manager that will make impactful in-game changes, give inspiring team talks and have a plan A,B &C for every situation. 
 

I really fucking hope he succeeds! He’s great!

He seems genuinely humbled to have the opportunity to manage this club, which is flattering coming from a man of his calibre, and unbelievably refreshing after suffering the Ashley agenda for the last decade or so. The respect is there, and it's totally genuine.

 

It's just a pity his awe is very much about an NUFC from the past as opposed to the current one (the intoxicating grandeur of an empty SJP, presumably, aside); hopefully he'll play a big part in making the next era an exciting one which will also be looked back upon fondly. 

 

It's nice to get the feeling that we're not seen as some two-bit operation and - in fact - seen as exactly what we are: a big club, a rich cultural institution, and something a man with his reputation should feel priveleged to be associated with. 

 

True dat
