If Lerner thinks he’s the man for the job, then I’ll back him. It’s a big risk, because it goes wrong and we have a poor season, it’ll undo all the good work he’s done since he joined, and he’s done a lot of good things for this club. Really can’t understand some of the shit he’s having thrown at him.
I feel a bit sorry for AM, he’s taken a lot of stick, but he must really want the job as he's not walking away. He seem like a good guy when you seen him interviewed.
I don’t know why some are getting so hung up on the fact he’s coming from Blues aswell. He’s not a Blues fan, so to him, it was just a job. Who cares where he’s coming from, if a managers good enough, it doesn’t matter. And who knows what he could do with a bit of backing, which Lerner will no doubt give him, he might do alright, but I think he at least deserves a chance. He’ll have money, a chairman that will back him as he’s the one that’s made the risky call to appoint him and a good squad to work with from day one.
Who knows, he might even be able to persuade Ben Foster, Scott Dann or Roger Johnson to make the move with him.
