Portuguese fans don't rate him at all. They think he's a bit of a fraud.
Given his record of one relegation in just a few months of being in the Premier League, the stats suggest that might be true...

Mail so not a reputable source, but says Mr Gao is very unhappy.

Interesting point here - Valencia sacked him only after the fans started chanting against the board. Perhaps we should start doing the same.
The way Puel has got Leicester playing suggests that the issue is also one of personnel. I want MP gone ASAP but some of the players are not fit to wear the shirt.
I'm fairly confident that we won't go down. Swansea, Palace, West Brom all worse than us, and Huddersfield are in free fall too.
Get rid of MP and we'll finish top half. With MP we'll be 13-16th
The fans need a lift too, the atmosphere home and away has been flat. Adkins and Strachan would do that for sure.
My number one choice - Brendan Rodgers.
Who else did we interview if he was top of the list?!
This is why he should have gone two weeks ago. Unless we conduct a comprehensive interview process in secret and keep MP on in the mean time, we'll have a horrid run of games with a caretaker (probably Eric Black)
OUT
I'd take Koeman back, he's the only manager to have got anything against Man City, could do with him in our next away game. Would spice things up for the Everton match too.
