With Viera likely to be announced as Palace manager shortly that is the end of what has been a busy few weeks on the Premier League merry go round with 4 clubs getting new managers.
Did a quick trawl of the internet and nobody is happy about their new managers. The Dingles seem underwhelmed by Lage although probably the least unhappy of the fans and their appointment was fairly swift by comparison with the other 3 clubs. So whatever grievances the fanbase were nursing haven't been stewing for a month or more.
This brings us neatly onto Spurs. Nuno has them underwhelmed in part because he was sacked by Wolves. This does not sit well in the natural order of things "we're Spurs we don't hire managers sacked by some slags from the sticks...." . Not only that but somebody showed them the prize they could have won in Conte, nobody was going to be good after that. They virtually had Foncesca through the door but changed their minds via Gattuso and now have landed with Nuno who looks very much like the last prize in the raffle.
Spurs fans discontent is but nothing compared that of Everton's over the appointment of Benetiz. We have gone to the bedsheets which is the football fan equivalent of burning torches and sharpened pitchforks. It's a McLeish to Villa moment. There is almost nothing Rafa can do to win the fans round.
Finally last through the door is Patrick Viera. I thought Palace fans would be at least okay with this but they aren't aside from relief they have a manager there is a lot of hand wringing. What they wanted was a slightly younger and a little bit more adventurous version of Roy. They would have been really pleased with Rafa and at least okay with Nuno.
Nobody is happy as this season Premier League manager swap comes to a close. Nobody is sailing off into the sunset and it feels like we will be revisiting some of these appointments again before too long.
