I can't believe anyone is introducing race and identity politics into a thread about the new manager. Irrelevant in my view.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

If we finish 17th or better under PV, bearing in mind all the issues around squad rebuild, I will consider the season to have been a great success. At this juncture I'd absolutely take 17th spot now given the palavra towards succession planning post Hodgson. If he gets the financial backing this summer (and potentially Jan 2022), then my expectations could improve... But either way, looking forward to the new season and hopefully positive direction the club will go under a natural born winner in Patrick Vieira!!! COYP

You don't think it's a positive that there is a BAME manager in the prem, particularly for a club that comes from a culturally diverse community and itself a strong advocate for BAME players?

COYP I would take 17th, however my expectation for this year is between 13th/16th. We should be investing wisely this summer and also keeping hold of talent from those that have reached the end of their contract.

PV has got a big challenge ahead. Plus side is he will be able to help choose incoming players. Downside is the turbulence of the current out of contract position. Big season ahead. Here’s hoping it goes well and PV leads us to glory.

Vierra, Veria, Viera, Verruca... The man had the name on his shirt for so many years... Guys, just call him Patrick, if it's really that hard to spell VIEIRA.
Edited by PortugueseEagle (04 Jul 2021 11.03pm) OK Mr Pedant, but three consecutive vowels?? What do you expect from us, the great unwashed?

The more people bang on about the importance of having black managers, to the point of it being a serious issue that has to be dealt with, then the more aggro is caused when black players don't apply to be one or fail and are sacked.
