Disaster if true
Not achieved anything as a manager and just because he was a good player doesn’t mean he will be a good manager.
Another de boer and the fact he was so far down our contender list says it all.

Class player and respected by his peers. Will be able to attract players due to his stature. Will unearth gems from the French league like Kante and Mahrez. The football will be scintillating and within 2 years we will be knocking on the door of Champions League qualification. Have faith!!

Has a very good relationship with Man City having managed their development squad. Took Jack Harrison on loan to NYC

I for one am feeling upbeat if he comes like every manager who takes the job he will get my full support. Only after managers/players do critique. Roy did us proud keeping us in the Prem for 4 years being no mean feet. Sam and Tony[ played their part as did Oli. Me I'd give our Dougie another go but I know my opinion is not popular. Anyway expecting another expecting roller coaster ride

This has a slight tang of desperation about it.
I do recall his name being being bandied about a while back but without any real indication that it would become reality.
Perhaps he will also pull out the last moment when, just as the deal is about to be done, Parish mumbles under his breath " er, by the way the £80 million pound treasure chest for transfers that I mentioned is to cover the next 3 seasons "

I think a good move i think, instant respect from the players, good contacts within the game, decent managerial record, much better than i thought we would get, its a yes from me (if it happens)

Egg on faces all round when it emerges that the story is a crock of sh*t from beginning to end.

Viera is very much a risk, but my greater concern is how it impacts the club's forward planning. When FdB came in they didn't back him at all. When Roy came in it always felt that due to his age he was just tending things and the club didn't back him with transfers. The arrival of Nuno or Favre would surely have seen more significant investment, but will the same be afforded to Viera? Also, will he get as big a say in what players sign as Favre or Nuno likely would have?
On paper Viera looks like he is certainly capable of delivering results, with the final half-season at Nice his only disappointing period. He also seems to have Wenger's ear which can be no bad thing; Ole at Man Utd, I believe, has sought guidance from Ferguson and that seems to be paying dividends. It would also be interesting to see who his assistant would be, as the assistant at Nice took over from Viera.
The football side of things is of primary concern, but if he is successful I think it would also send a strong message about giving black coaches opportunities and he could prove to be an aspirational figure for the large number of black children in the local community.

The difference between Viera and FDB is that the new manager has to get a large number of new bodies in whereas FDB inherited a squad of expensive players who couldn't adapt to his system and couldn't easily be replaced.
No one knows how he will do, if indeed the rumours are true but it's very premature to write him off already.
I would have preferred Favre or Nuno but apparently a deal couldn't be done with either of them so it's pointless pining for what we couldn't have. Viera is as good or better than most of the other rumours (FFS, John Terry was favourite with the bookies at one point).
