From what I've seen so far

They credit him with a worse style of play, more direct approach and in their opinion long ball football.

Also with not being good for the dressing room (not sure what that's based on).

Seems to be a strong majority that don't like him, but some give him credit for their excellant season last season after he came in during the summer.
