See I can understand people being cautious, as I said yesterday this summer will tell us a lot, if he does as he's said and gives us whatever money we need (which is my interpretation of £20m, £30m, £40m ... £50m?) to back up a well consider and sensible choice as manager then he'll have started things as well as anyone could ever hope. If we go into the new season with most of the current squad and Steve Bruce then we can start to worry.What I can't see is people who are making claims like calling him a shyster or a fraud or calling for us to back out of the deal less than a day after it was announced, that's just weird. I also got a bit frustrated last night with the idea that there was no internet presence when it was clearly there but took a bit more effort to find because it's all chinese. That's where some people are going to far and falling into being overly pessimistic rather than just sensibly cautious. If they were doing it because the of all the people who were talking about getting "AVFC Champions league winners 2019" tattoos then I'd be ok with it, the balanced perspective would help but I haven't seen a single person be anything like that level of wide-eyed loon, the majority seem to be of the opinion that it all sounds good so far but let's wait and see so an overly pessimistic attitude is just strange.

It might be a small issue but lying about his qualifications is not a good start. Then we see that his main business makes a loss. While not wanting to piss on anyone's parade I'd be very happy to see this one bounced by the FA.
He's neither a medical doctor or got a PhD.He's played a part (paid exec?) in a business that organises construction/urbanisation work - what was his role?He now runs loss making businesses.That makes me weary - that's all.
