I'd have him back in a heartbeat. His squad was decimated by injuries (& was beginning to be sold from under him, without replacements - part of the reason we're sh*t now) but he found a way to get us further than he had any right to. It didn't matter to me how he did it, without his skill...
There's been a feeling of disconnection from the minute he went. The least excited I've been pre-season for a long time - just confirmed that he'd been succeeding despite what was going on behind the scenes last year
