Strange!

I find it weird that he took the job. Fawaz and co have had three opportunities to bring him in, and clearly didn't want him. Now suddenly they do. Must be weird knowing that he wasn't first choice.
Good luck to him, though. Hope my huge doubts turn out to be unfounded.

I think it was Marther who put them off last time.

Was Martha still there when we took McLeish? I can't remember. So many ins and out recently that I can't remember the order.

Billy was quite clearly the 'fans choice'.

Considering the balls ups just lately by Fawaz, it was a very wise move to listen to the fans.

Now Still....lets stop the Billy hating...and get behind him & the team. Lets hope Fawaz does the same, and gives Billy time to build a team that will challenge for promotion.

I've said good luck and hope I'm wrong. Can't do much more than that.

Fair enough.

hooijdonk - I applaud your caution. I'm genuinely interested to see whether this 'populist' choice- clearly ONLY a damage limitation appointment to appease the fans from the Hasawis- actually works out. On paper, I can't see how it can, but hey, football is STILL a funny old game!

Some people are never happy. The owners don't listen to the fans and bring in AMC (though I was massively against it)... Then they listen to the (majority) fans and bring back BIlly... and still questions are asked.

They wanted a manager with Prem experience. I suppose they have one though

DeLaRed - not all the fans were clamouring to bring him back. ertainly not a majority.

However, I'm sure the majority will now get behind him and the team. I know I will.
