Tell you what though, who isn't impressed by the way our new manager is going about things?
Sales are conducted with the minimum of fuss, with top dollar being recieved for any players going out of the door. Negotiations with existing players are not conducted in the media, Roy simply makes the right noises and plays it patient, even Masherano refusing to talk to him hasn't phased him it doesn't seem. Purchases are once again going ahead without the horses being disturbed. He straight bats press questions on how quickly deals are likely to happen with the old "I don't do the negotiating, Christian Purslow does" and simply gets on with things. The mediacal science team tell him he can't use World Cup players in the Europa Cup, so he says "OK then we'll use youngsters". "If we go out so be it, the league is our priority" he says. he doesn't bring coachloads of backroom staff with him, hangers on and yes men accrued over many years, coach drivers and kit men, nutritionists, scouts, acupuncturists and the rest of the nonsense some modern managers swear by. He comes in and says he wants all our backroom stalwarts to stay. He isn't threatened by Kenny still being around even though he knows Dalglish wanted his job, he isn't threatened by Sammy Lee staying, even though he was very close to the previous manager. Not only isn't he threatened, he WANTS them to stay.
How can anyone not be impressed by the way he's going about his business.
