The more I see, the more I wonder if he's a 'patsy' of sorts. Whoever took over from Ferguson was always going to be a bit screwed, but this way the Glazer's have made a sensible choice, led by SAF, given him a whole season and when it doesn't work out, then they can bring a 'savior' manager who will have no pressure on them at all.
The big issue is that Klopp aside, there really aren't any world class managers doing nothing at the moment, and we'd really want a younger one who could shape their own squad.
