That won't be a problem because Hernandez isn't a luxury player!
Mr Sullivan states the fans wanted an ambitious manager when what we really were looking for was some ambitious signings. ;ok
They probably don't, but would you say Big Sam, Slav & Mr Moyes were not ambitious? I think they probably were but weren't given the backing we are all asking for financially. ;ok
Hopefully he isn't that stubborn with us.
A few years ago granted but this details why City wanted him
Particularly like the bit about having creative midfielders without losing defensive shape...and how he unearthed the potential of Camacho who became one of the leagues best DM
Article also commetns on his tactical flexibility and experiance with teams who had to sell there best players (so he hasn't always had it easy)

I thought they should have kept Zola for another season after he kept us up but they decided to give the reins to Avram. Biggest mistake EVER!
Next up was Big Sam - didn't want him but he did the job asked of him. Got us promoted straight back up - albeit via a play-off place. I remember that run of draws we had that almost derailed that promotion. His first season in the PL was good, not so much the 2nd.
Next was Bilic who I wasn't sure about. I really didn't know too much about his managerial career. That first season was magical - beating Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City away all in the same season.Then it all went downhill. We have to be grateful that he bought Payet, Lanzini and Arnie to us although I don't know if he can be credited with Payet and Lanzini as they only joined a couple of weeks after he did.
After that came Moyes. Again wasn't sure he was for us. Did okay but even though our final position was confortable we were still flirting with relegation until the last 2 games.
I'm really optimistic about Pellegrini but what do I know - I support West Ham.
Going up in the world ;lol
The pattern on the white trim is the same as the pattern on the blue trim of the shirt Pelle was holding yesterday, although that would mean we have a claret collar ;hmm
I was thinking today, that maybe, just maybe, this will be the manager that the David's really throw the cash at. BFS did a job getting us back up but was never going to be the long term solution, Slav wasn't our first choice and though he was given money, it never seemed as though they wanted to really go big with the spending. Then Moyes, who was just a short term contract.
So now they have a top quality manager, one who given the time and the money should hopefully really be able to get us to play how we all want and in a style he is used to managing.
