Just got back from Venice so i'll just say...
WTF Souness.
Saw this in my hotel room and thought it was some prank

. Came out of the blue thats for sure.
The thing is he's probs the best we could have hoped for. Allardyce, Mclaren, Bruce all tied down/too loyal (delete as appropriate) or throwing Shearer in at the deep end or having that tosser Venables.
Its sad when we have to settle for the 2nd/3rd/4th best.
Its always gonna happen when you sack people a few games into the season, managers want to stay loyal after charimen splashed out on summer signings leaving with you with people already out of a job.
I don't have high hopes but hopefully he'l prove me wrong.
