Think he was a brilliant hire for the situation. Likely will keep us up. That's no small feat given how we were playing a month ago. Think he's also going to save Raph which means we could get huge bucks for him off season. A month ago that was not the case. If Phillips stays he'll be part of that. Harrison, Dallas, Ayling and Rodrigo are re invigorated.

Following a legend is one of the toughest things to do in sports. He seems to have done it. So glad we didn't go the big sam, bruce or pulis route.

Am a little worried about next season. We seem fixated on getting yanks. Don't understand the obsession on aaronson. More like harrison than a phillips level player. as we know the hard way. Limiting yourself to one style of play or one feeder system such as the US is not a recipe for long term success in the prem.

I've seen MLS and the national team. They are not prem quality.
