Now that he's been appointed I'll be supportive. Until he loses his first game at least.
Can't wait for the season to start so I can boo him.
BOOO
BOOO
Careful what you wish for, and all that.
Is he in charge of finding a GK coach etc.?
This makes me like him even more , we need a horrible snidey manager. Hopefully it'll rub off on the players.

Very happy with this! Let the reign of the orange overlord begin!
It is completely professional just not complimentary. They have not criticised him. On the other hand we released a gushing statement about Martinez after firing him. Most clubs do. We all know it is drivel. Their statement is cold and factual because he has made a u-turn and left. Should be our gain but don't expect a bon-voyage. We are rivals.

To be fair to him.
He hasn't moved for short term gains. In fact if all goes well he could finally have a home here for quite a while with his team, money to spend and support from above.
Just like we thanked Wayno
His trebled wage might have swayed him a little though.
It's a nice contrast to what has gone before. Just remember if he is succesful then one day we are likely to get the same treatment. That is fine but don't moan when it happens.

From what I've heard the Saints board are very upset with him, he gave assurances that he would stay after they tabled a new contract, but when Moshiri started his pursuit things changed and he went back on his word, I guess our ambition was in stark contrast to their own, so he back tracked.
You can understand their annoyance, but I wish they'd drop all this 'small club' crap, it's a ridiculous argument in any event, 20 years ago Man City and Chelsea weren't even on the radar, look at them now. Southampton have been a yo-yo club for years, it is hardly a footballing hotbed but it's nice to see they've got some really good people running things and I'm impressed that they've survived being raped and pillaged every close season by the RS, but to suggest Everton is a backward step just makes them look stupid.

If he performs well enough to get a dream move to Barca then good luck to him. They're a bigger club than us and you can't blame someone for wanting to go. It'll mean we're in a boss position anyway so I won't moan.
