    So are you going to give the man a reasonable chance? or are you going to stick the knife in at the first opportunity?

    I'm at the '* it' stage.

    Might as well let big Agnes give it a lash.

    Deep down I'm really hoping for this to turn out better than any of us could imagine, but for now I'm just a bit meh.

    Really don't get why some are writing him off before a balls been kicked, or why howe was being built up into some saviour figure before the deal was done, people just swinging from one wild extreme to the other.

    Some aye, definitely that, some it’s just slating it being used and being bewildered about why you would need it.

    As does the likes of Pep and Klopp.

    Wouldn’t be my choice of manager but that’s because I know * all about him.
    He has a good record wherever he’s went, managing in the J-League didnt do Wenger any harm.

    People seem to have already made their mind up about the guy because he isn’t Howe - but I don’t think Howe would have succeeded here, he’s too lightweight and I think needs to live on the South Coast. Potter to Everton and Howe to Brighton.

    But anyway, I’ll be giving the guy a chance, it can’t get much worse to be honest, so hoping for an improvement in our play style with some flair and aggression badly needed. And I think he will bring that.

    just thinking of player burn out with the CL qualifying games roll around
    Any idea if big ange has a record of bringing through the youth - like to see a lot more of Montgomery and Dembele this season ahead!

    He needs some sort of leeway.

    Fans need to be realistic...look at what he is walking into. Guardiola would struggle to turn this in the space of 3-6months with our budget.

    People need to be realistic and I will give him more than one bad game. Considering how much time lennon got in an absolute DISASTER of a season its the least he deserves. Board have set a precedent now.

    I get that we always demand success but realism is needed here.

    Better off drinking a pint of your own * mate, it'd taste better. And be the apt libation for the situation.

    from reliable sources I was told howe wasn't allowed Jason Tindall as his assistant, that was the reason why he didn't accept the job

    but he lacks European experience and a track record of high transfers which amount to not a lot.

    Made some * comparison to a cricketer being sent out to bat against some other cricketers that he would have no chance against. He absolutely destroyed Deila at every opportunity and will do the same here. Said * all about Lennon for months.

    Because his track record at this age is a * disgrace.

    He might be a nice guy and this is not just about him, im * raging at the board in this...and again they get away with the cheap free yes man option.

    He has already stated that he struggled with the pressure with under 21's,his record so far is pretty bad in the teams he has managed, no European experience, no Scottish understanding of what's needed or going on at this stage.
    He's far to late in, although this again on the board not himself. He is not the man for this job at this stage in his life or ours. Might be likeable although some will still hold the Rogic incident against him,and maybe so to beat him with.

    And i wasn't in the Howe Messiah crowd either.....There are far better options than this guy out there...but its done now.

    We put all our eggs into the Howe basket,we * it and this is a straight out panic buy.

    If it all goes * up as many expect,then just sellotape Lennons face to Ange and Desmond's.....maybe then the bhoys will act like they did 6 months ago.

    Underwhelming appointment, I have a feeling he won't be a success. Would love to be surprised though.

    The rebuild is gargantuan, he needs a bit of time and a fair bit of cash to spend. Our squad is disgusting at the moment due to the negligence of Lawwell and co

    Of course I will, he's going to be up against it from the get go, even 1-0 wins will get him scrutiny, justified or not.

    The big goal is how we back him in the transfer market, hopefully whatever budget we promised Howe Ange will also get.
