[genome]

He lost 18 games out of 24 as Rotherham manager?

Come on, cheer up genome!

I have my doubts, but then I'd have some doubts if it was pretty much any of the other candidates that people had been talking about.

Bottom line is we just don't know. I wish him well. We desperately need this to work.

Careful you’re not allowed to criticise the club or appointment or ian will tell you to grow up.

You’re not allowed to have doubts. You will get told off. We should be appreciative we’ve brought in such an excellent manager and we definitely cannot criticise the club or owner

[Hound]

You ok mate?

No you're allowed to criticise, you just get called out if you act like a baby.

In case you hadn’t realised I’m pissed off with this vvank manager taking over. This was an opportunity to show a bit of ambition and bring someone half decent in. And we’ve failed, again.

[Millsy]

Quite surprised.

Horrendous at Rotherham and correct me if im wrong but didn't he have an overpowered squad to work with to get Wigan out of League One?

Weird given the other possible names.

I'm sure Couhig et al see something in him I don't, and obviously know infinitely more than I do about him, so welcome to the club!

Ok Ian. I get it you won’t have anything bad said about the club. Remember when we sacked Bowen and pauno came in and the absolute meltdown you had? Were you proclaimed you were done with the club and was never going to watch* a reading game again. And went missing from the board for a couple of months? People in glass houses…

*listen on the radio

A squad he appears to have put together. According to his article of course.

Should you not be immune to those kind of thoughts after a season of Postacoglu at your place....maybe he needs two seeasons

No, he had Max Power who is a lower league journeyman.

I don’t think the Wigan squad wasn’t up to that much - he took them over when bottom of the table

Some good players in there but mainly frees etc I think

Yeah I’d realised that - should give the chap a chance though. He’s plenty of experience which was your main thing and knows the division well. Pretty confident he’ll be a big step up from Noel

[ILoveMoonPig]

Does anyone know anything about his footballing style? What are we looking at here, big strong lads, difficult to beat? Fast paced, short passing? Direct, attacking play?

Speaking of managers with big budgets. Parkinson getting his arse handed to him by Cardiff. Wrexham look shocking.....
