He likes the odd direct ball but he's never been one to not attack. He's not like Pulis in the anti-football stakes at all. His Bolton team had Okocha, Djorkaeff, Anelka etc.
Look, two years ago I would have said "no way" but we've got ourselves into a ****e situation. If he comes in and steadies the ship for a couple of years we can build from there.
I, personally, would not be bothered about relegation. I enjoy the PL much more as a TV event now than a participatory exercise. However, I do worry what would happen if we were relegated under Kat and Gao. So, if we want to stay up, get Fat Sam in.
