Done exactly the same as I did when he was appointed City manager

obviously with different emotions

Initially...

City - disappointed
Scum - laugh

Then think about it a bit

City - see the logic, feel more optimistic
Scum - see the logic, probably silent in grudging respect.

All of it will be with hindsight though - if we win the next three games (for example), will we actually give a f**k about what he did FIFTEEN YEARS AGO during his first stint as manager? Would any of us remember the relegations (or close relegations) - other than phrankin, obviously.

Didn't we all think Magilton would be s**t? Are we laughing as hard now?

Arsene Wenger was relegated during his first managerial job, remember...
