Bob Bradley is certainly no genius. Also, I wouldn't expect to find any Le Harve fans happy with him at the moment. However, he turned down a lot of money on multiple occasions in the States to pursue a dream, and that is something to be respected. Would he be getting this chance if the owners weren't American? No. Will this end badly? Considering the shelf life of gaffers in the Prem, I'd say the odds are against him.

Let me ask a question. What would be considered a 'success' this season? 11-15th?

We yanks can be a touch insecure when it comes to one of own in the sport (until now it's been players not a manager), and any criticism levied 'no experience in the top flight' 'not Prem quality' generally is misconstrued to being anti-American. After reading the different threads it will tough winning over the faithful when the supporters don't trust ownership. That said a few things about Bob Bradley;

- His teams are always fit.
- He's given his entire adult life for this one opportunity. He could've of gone back to MLS at any point. Instead, he moved to Cairo, never left when the country almost had a civil war, dealt w/no domestic league, and empty stadiums for home qualifying matches.
- Took a Norwegian side newly promoted to the Europa League. That same side is back in the relegation zone since his departure.
- 1 goal from promotion to Ligue 1 last season, and pretty telling what the players thought of him by winning his last match after he was appointed yesterday, and he leaves them right in contention again for promotion.
- BB always uses the F word not the S word...'football'
