It strikes me as a really ODD appointment.
He doesn't have the experience for the job, he doesn't have the connection with the club either, or the pulling power of having been a huge international former star player.
All of that applied to Potter, except that Potter has a definite football...
Not so much tired of the Premier League. More like a brood mare that has birthed so many foals she is now spent and barren.
I note that the best years for brood mare production is between 5-10 years...
