Meh. I'll give him a chance. If he was hired JUST for CV, then Steve
McLaren's resume is comparable.

I suspect he was hired for his soft-spoken demeanor and probably a
higher tolerance than other coaches on working on a budget, fair
enough then.

Also in terms of his contract/board thinking, is he a real signing
(i.e. a 3-5 year contract) or is he our Avram Grant?

We sign a manager based on a decent run in the UEFA cup with an average
team. Yes he's got Euro connections but I hope these directors know what
they're doing.

They don't know what they are doing. Absolutely not. Proven

Definitely our Avram Grant - if a buyer pays several hundred million ��� for
a club, plus several hundred million more for a stadium, and provide initial
funds to buy a few headline players, he ain't going to stick with a
journeyman manager. Unless Roy does something special, he'll be gone the
summer after we find new owners. And even if he does do something special,
he'll probably still be gone, a la Real Madrid style.
