There’s fuck all simple about it, bloke’s a genius.

If if was that easy, everybody would be doing it. There’s also the fact that several players have stated it takes time to adapt to his methods.

I think on paper though, it is pretty simple. His methods as far as the players go seems to be giving 100% all the time and being willing to learn and improve. That's hardly rocket science, but at the same time not everyone can actually implement it with the majority of an entire squad of players.

Obviously the level of detail he goes into with it, and with analysis and tactical preparation goes above and beyond what most managers can or will do, but again, it's not rocket science what he's doing. But it certainly takes a special type of person to be able to walk into a club and get everyone on board and getting results almost immediately, and then keep everyone on board and maintain the levels.

I think your going down a rabbit hole here tbh

Is there a table anywhere for the past twelve month? We are surely a top three side since October 2022?

Not as far back as that but for 2023, only Man City have more points than us, 74, and we're level with Arsenal on 62.

I genuinely wouldn't swap him for any other manager currently in the game.

I was thinking the same earlier. Brilliant manager, and a gentleman with class to boot.

The second part is as important as the first. He’s just a genuinely good person. Someone that we can all be proud of to represent our club away from the game.

Not a chance. I just really hope he feels the same back.

We're a week away from the anniversary of Newcastle 4-0 Villa. A result that left us on 12 points after 13 games and 1 point above the bottom 3.

And then we appointed Unai. And look at us now. There's the odd blip along the way but it's like we're playing a completely different sport now compared to back then.

Just think how high up the table we'd be if Unai didn't have the sweaty kits to contend with as well.

I felt the same when he was linked to us and nothing since has made me question that view.

I wouldn't swap him for any of them from the past either.
