Main worry is….

…he was partially successful at Swansea when he had a decent settling in period and no expectation. From that he had success at Saints with a strong squad and a strong chequebook. Here, he’ll inherit a dispirited and disjointed squad up s**t creek without a paddle. Don’t think he will have faced such a challenge- and based on his post match comments etc. I don’t feel he will get either the fans or the players to buy in.
