He's a creepy, awkward @#%&! but he isn't a fraud imo. He knows what he's doing, just hope his personality will be his downfall.

I'm not sure he does. He's signed about 20 players for over £200m in 2 years, and only Coutinho and Sturridge look any good (and he didn't want Sturridge, but was forced to take him
).
Maybe some of those like Sakho and Lovren are decent players, but the fact they often look like non leaguers under him is a reflection on his management. And the whole Balotelli thing is laughable too.
Maybe he's got an idea of what he wants but he's struggling to put it into practice. His philosophy seems to be PACE! mixed with a bit of luck. That might get them top 6 in the Premier League but it won't get them much more. Fully expecting them to be out thought and outplayed by Besiktas.
