The problem i have with him is the longevity of his appointment. People moan about Levy sacking, but what if this guy turns out as expected? it would be great, but then Barcelona come knocking and he is gone and we are back to being where we were previously, only this time no Levy to blame.
Maybe its thinking of issues before they arise, but it is a real one.
The thing is, if any manager that comes in gets poached for fulfilling their expectations then we should be in a much better position as a club to get a good replacement. Let's say for example de Boer comes in and gets us CL football, or even does a Rodgers and makes us a proper force in the EPL. Our profile will be a hell of a lot higher and we can then hopefully replace him with a well established manager of a high calibre as we'll be seen as a big club that's going places.
In all honesty, I wouldn't worry about it. We've got to worry about getting a good bloody manager in the first place!
