Just a man thanking God.
I don’t see the problem.
Apart from the God not existing thing.

I don't think people wished him ill as such, it's just that some of our more excitable fans touted him as a future Albion manager. (He won a game in charge of us as interim manager y'know). More knowledgeable and intelligent fans know that he would be a disaster as Albion manager - not there's any chance of him getting the job in future as he's as far away from a modern Bloom/Barber appointment as you can get.

But yeah, I wish him well. Not everybody can manage in the Premier League.
He drew one game and won the other (great game at Craven Cottage) to get us out of the relegation zone, before Chris Hughton took over.

Yes, I know, that was my point. I would argue that two good Championship results are not enough to be considered a potential manager for a top-ten PL club. (Or even a struggling PL club as Southampton can testify).

I don't think there's a conflict between wishing him every success (which I do), and not wanting to ever see him anywhere near the Albion manager's job.

Bit harsh he didn’t get enough time at Southampton to do anything. In hindsight he should of stayed at Luton that season.

I wasn't saying I wanted him to manage us now as it is fairly clear he is good at League One/Championship level.

He's lost almost all of his goodwill there. First time to Stoke was more understandable for them but to come back and then go to Southampton at the first opportunity means most simply don't like him anymore.
