I know it's only been one game but definatly think give him a chance and assess after 2 more games what do you guy think?

Why the hell not? He got everything spot on for this game, granted it's only West Ham but we were still brilliant, it could have been 6 or 7!!

He might not want it, not everyone wants to be manager. I'd rather he be in the set up for another manager.

Give him 4-5 games minimum.

I think we need to wait a bit to see how he does over the next few games. Having said that, I'd prefer him to the likes of Bob Bradley whose knowledge of the English game is (presumably) limited.

It's a bit early to say, one great performance against a truly dire side. But I can't help liking the idea of him and Sid leading the first team. And today certainly did his cause no harm.

Alright, calm down people.

What I think we will need is a more teamwork-based approach to coaching. MON seemed to dictate to his cronies, Walford and Robertson, who'd occasionally advise him but mostly carry out his orders. We need a better, more inclusive approach, whoever comes in, and K Mac definitely has to be an important voice in the fray.

Ok, let's not all get carried away here. Yes, that was an excellent first game but give him a few more and we'll see. If he can get us playing like that every game then he should definitely be given a chance. It'll save us a lot of hassle trying to get a new manager in anyways.

It is too big a step up from reserve team manager to the 1st team of a team that wants to be at the top end of the PL.  He has no experience of the buying and selling part of management which is so important in the game today.

He has qualities, no doubt about it but I think assistant manager to a quality foreign manager would be better.  It would be too much of a risk to through him in at the deep end.

The last thing we want now is some big ego walking into the club and upsetting the harmony that is there now, there is no rush to replace MCD, no panic appointment and if that means leaving it alone for a season then so be it
