Pretty much this. Did we have as good a manager as the majority of us thought? It will be interesting to see how he fares over the coming years.

If he is as good as we thought then doing well at Valencia would open the door to some mega jobs.

West Brom to Barcelona in three years - you heard it here first.

***Hidden Track***

I... fui tu Casa
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the ding dong
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I
Shouldn't be here
Without permission
Shouldn't be here


Would you forgive me, Carl
If I ate all your Tapas
Would you forgive me, Carl
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me, Carl
If I crouch all afternoon… wooa-oh-oh-oaaah


I took off my clothes
Put on your chinos
Went through your drawers and I found your Old Spice
Went down to the den
Found EA 25
Played Raćić and Dobbin
And I
Shouldn't stay long
You might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long


Would you forgive me, Carl
If I squat in your chinos
Would you forgive me, Carl
If I make some daft subs
Would you forgive me, Carl
If I crouch all afternoon… wooa-oh-oh-oaaah


I played your Cajón
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said hello, Carl
We want you so, Carl
Meet me at Mestalla
And no
It wasn't from Shilen
I better go soon
It wasn't from Shilen


So forgive me, Carl
For the tears on your chinos
So forgive me, Carl
For the salt on your slacks
So forgive me, Carl
If I cry all afternoon… wooa-oh-oh-oaaah
