He's got my 100% backing. I genuinely think he'll do a good job here.

Leyton Orient manager Russell Slade has handed in his resignation, the club have confirmed.
The Os boss attempted to hand in his notice after his employers rejected an approach for his services from Championship outfit Cardiff City.
The club issued a statement on Wednesday confirming that Slade has offered his resignation, and are now considering their response.
"The chairman and the CEO of Leyton Orient have received a resignation letter from Russell Slade a few minutes ago," said the Orient hierarchy.
"This has not happened by chance after the club rejected this afternoon, a proposal from the general manager of Cardiff City regarding the transfer of Russell Slade. The lawyers of the club are now studying the file."
Orient currently sit in 17th place in League One.
In the interest of balance, Orient are also only 6 points off second place automatic promotion...Just saying like. I would give this guy a chance over Roeder or Lennon, although there is obviously better. Enter Mr Pulis.

Slade, who handed in his resignation at Leyton Orient on Wednesday, is keen on the job made vacant by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure but is not expected to be appointed ahead of their weekend fixture against Bournemouth.
This is due in part to Orient taking legal advice over Slade’s resignation, which has left his former assistant Kevin Nugent in charge of the Sky Bet League One club this weekend.
Slade, who still had two years left on his contract, decided to leave the club immediately after being denied permission from Orient's new owners to speak to the Welsh club, who had approached Orient about his availability.
Just two weeks prior, Slade had been told by Orient directors he had one game to save his job following their poor start to the season, and rescued himself with a 1-1 draw with Notts County and a 2-1 win over Scunthorpe.
A statement published on Orient's website on Thursday confirmed that Nugent will take charge of the home game against Rochdale on Saturday, aided by coaches Andy Edwards and Kevin Dearden.
Former Orient chairman Barry Hearn, who sold the club to Italian businessman Francesco Becchetti in July, subsequently wrote on Twitter: "It's the end of the Slade era. Thanks Russ for the best four years I had in football and good luck for the future."
Former Brighton and Yeovil boss Slade took over at Brisbane Road in 2010 and led the club to the League One play-off final last season, after leading the division for much of the season.
Meanwhile, players Danny Gabbidon and Scott Young will remain in caretaker charge of Cardiff.
