When he arrived, we were all like "who"

So were the pundits and so by all accounts were the players.

Now there's people getting nervous about whether he'll stay long enough or get poached by a bigger club - and probably not Villa this time.

It was a gamble and it paid off. Easy with hindsight to say "obviously the right appointment" but I don't recall anyone saying that at the time. Most were more "well let's give him a go and see" (which was my view) at best.
