Very well-liked and very well-disliked at the same time.
I think if you went back to 2001 you would find an awful lot of the people now telling us how loved he was were not so fond of him then.

I seem to recall an awful lot of Highbury at that time being of the opinion that he couldn't take us any farther, that we had too many foreign players etc etc.

Some people just like hating the club they support for some reason
