Superb appointment.

Bit of a shock as it's only the 2nd time in my life we have appointed the manager I wanted, the 1st time was uncle Roy Hodgson.

I must have a thing for "dinosaurs"

In all seriousness though, I've been championing Bilic's dismissal and Big Sam's appointment for a while now. Potentially I might make a prat out of myself if he's a failure, but I can only see us improving. A great organiser, superb man manager and the one candidate who has been there and done it. Timing is a bit weird, as the result last night will give people the idea that Bilic might've turn it around. Would've made more sense to dismiss after the Palace or Newcastle game. Although my personal belief is that the players only turned up because they knew he was on the way out.

I am hopeful we will see that kind of desire on a more frequent basis under Big Sam.

For the first time this season, I actually think we have a chance of staying up.
