Irvine was out of his depth from the very start and I was stunned he got the job - even more stunned that we are still paying out his contract!

Pulls did what Pulis does and got us, very effectively, out of the hole Irvine had put us in and for that reason alone I will support him for a full season to see what evolves.

Let's watch from a safe distance how Sherwood does before we start to declare a preference for him. He is splashing cash on average players as well and its a long season ahead which could expose him for what I think he is - a very average act!
