Jol given contract extension...

Good news - Jol was yesterday given a new/extended contract...

This is a very good sign of commitment from the board and Jol himself. It's about time we had a manager who we can feel confident in and in Jol we've got our man, I'm 100% happy with this...

I hope he'll be with us for many years to come so to give us some consistency - Fergie/Wenger-style!

Oh come on, who in the last 10 years has done notably better than him or even matched his achievements? OK he's not won us anything yet or got us higher up the table into a Euro spot yet, but the guy has been working tirelessly with the board to make a decent team that is going to be able to challenge in seasons to come.

You only need look at some of his signings the see where he's heading... I personally have every faith in the guy based upon comparing him to his predicessors...

Great news. Our biggest mistake was Santieri (Sp?) But even i've forgotten him, because now Jol's taking us back to the top. For the first time in years we sit way above Arsenal, all because of Jol and his common sense.
