    I would agree with 123! With a 2 million reported bonus he would not have come if he didn't think there was a chance of staying up. We will be more organised that's for sure.

    Absolutely.

    I didn't agree with sacking Bilic, but what's done is done. And it has frustrated me in recent weeks conceding such sloppy goals. We will be more streetwise now, and we've probably got a better chance of staying up being like that.

    I Agree
    Actually he was a pioneer with the use of technology, sports science and psychology.
    Totally different to Pulis.

    Will he fare better than Pulis, though? Pulis doesn’t seem to have worked any magic at Sheffield Wednesday yet, has he? I don’t think that he’s won a game yet!

    Anyone who gets us 9th will do better than Pulis did. Oh and help keep us in the Prem for 8 seasons.

    This is a rubbish article. Big Sam has a great record but because he’s older and British, he’s labelled with failed managers. In fact, he hasn’t ever really failed.

    I don’t get this view that we’ve lost great football in losing Bilic. Frankly we’ve been crap for a long time. Bilic won 2 games against top 6 opposition last season and even though we beat Sheffield United, they absolutely deserved the win. We’re always out planned against sides with similar quality. I don’t get the hype in Bilic. He had the biggest transfer and wage budget in the championship and nearly messed it up. He has proven to not have a vision of a system for our club. Roll on Big Sam who will have a clue!

    You are right baggiematt and no hiding from that!

    Pepe Mel was a lovely guy too but sadly he did not get results but the Spanish flags were nice on the eye
