That's the only valid criticism of the appointment right there in bold. As in valid in football terms.
And I'd agree, but I'd counter with one thing - for him to take this job, in the face of all this, knowing the local rivalry, knowing what it means... he's either incredibly stupid, incredibly brave or incredibly confident, or a mad mix of all three.
If he takes the job, bombs it and is out in six months, so be it. But to be this angry before he gets the job and a ball is kicked? It's bonkers.
I personally think they are all valid football concerns but the one you bolded is by far the biggest.
How can anyone say appointing a manager from the league in China is a risk free appointment?
