You hear him speak versus, say Conte. And it is a perfect example of self-confidence & arrogance versus self-confidence & pragmatism.
He does remind me a lot of Poch, but even more assured and comfortable in his own skin.
If there is a player in the squad who approaches him with a 'who the fuck are you' attitude, they'll be out the door quick-smart. I honestly don't think he will bow to anyone in that dressing room. Including Harry. That is a man, not to mess around with. More importantly, he is a man to respect, follow, and trust.
Nearly every 'good' leader I've been around exudes what he puts out there. So much common sense, realism, rigor, and insight. I love what he says about league status being relative. Which I believe is true, IF - you are someone who is undaunted by the size of something. He clearly isn't.
Based on nothing at all, I think we may have ended up with what we needed, versus what we wanted (the bald dutch guy whose name i shall not say!). Ange gives off an air of someone who makes everyone around them better.
I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the team fires on all cylinders from the offset. He has squad full of attacking potential waiting to be unleashed. Give him two reliable CBs, and watch us go!!
