I like him cos he quietly goes about his business whilst producing results!
Agree that he appears to be a good manager, a lot of people thought when Pochetino left and Lalana, Shaw, Ings, Clyne and Chambers left, plus Rodrigues getting injured they'd struggle and they haven't. Alot of it is down to the manager, but a lot appears to be down to their recruitment process and the youth set up which he will had nothing to do with setting up

Van Dyke and Wanyama were pinched from Celtic for peanuts, why could nobody else in the Prem see their value. Van Dyke in the two performances I have seen has looked as good as any other centre back in the Prem. I think they'll probably choose another good coach, sell well and buy wisely yet again. A model that we are hopefully copying. Koeman may well work at Everton as he was a class defender and that is where their problems lie at the moment, but replacing Lukaku is going to be difficult.
