Ange Postecoglou's return to the Premier League has largely been welcomed by the massive press pack that cover England's sporting juggernaut.
The Australian manager is great copy, an exotic source of intrigue from Down Under who speaks his mind freely and demands column inches from editors.
And there is, overall, a feeling that he deserves a second crack in the world's most watched football competition after ending Tottenham Hotspur's painful trophy drought with Europa League glory.

Of course, the elephant in the room is his awful 17th placing in the league with Spurs last season - just one spot above the relegation zone - which saw him sacked despite success in Europe.
The Guardian's Will Unwin wrote that Postecoglou's first big challenge will be dealing with the emotional fallout from Nuno Espirito Santo's exit as Nottingham Forest manager.
"It will be difficult for Ange Postecoglou to replace him. Players and staff will not immediately embrace the change because of the admiration and warmth they felt for Nuno," Unwin's column read.

"It was not only results that Nuno brought but a calmness rarely seen under (Forest owner Evangelos) Marinakis at the City Ground. Will stability return without him or will spontaneous combustion be a constant risk?"
Unwin wrote that the opportunity to hire a coach with proud Greek heritage was too alluring for Marinakis to resist.
Marinakis presented Postecoglou with an award at a Greek Super League event in July.

"In this huge success that the whole world saw, he promoted Greece," the billionaire told the guests.
"We must thank him especially for this and we wish him well, although we are sure that he will do well as he has the ability. Wherever he goes, the successes will come."
Unwin noted that Postecoglou's attacking philosophy "contrasts with Nuno's cautious approach" but he proved in the Europa League that "he could be pragmatic and Forest will be hoping that mindset is employed in his new role."

Writing for The Telegraph, Matt Law was licking his lips at the prospect of Postecoglou throwing a cat among the Premier League pigeons again.
"This is a Forest squad brought up the Nuno Espirito Santo way, a group of players who qualified for Europe by being pragmatic, tough to beat and sitting deep before breaking at speed. Will we see Angeball? What even is Angeball? Postecoglou is probably amused by those tying themselves in knots trying to decide and will relish the chance to prove his doubters wrong again," he said.
Law rejected journalist Henry Winter's claim that Postecoglou struggled to improve individual players at Spurs.
"Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Dejan Kulusevski, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven all enjoyed some of their best football under him, while Brennan Johnson finished last season with 18 goals – one shy of his career-best that came in the Championship with Forest," Law countered.
"The number of Spurs players who went public with their sorrow at seeing him sacked and their admiration for Postecoglou following his Tottenham exit was almost unprecedented. Of course, much of that gratitude was related to lifting a trophy and going down in club history, but it was also a reflection of his personal touch and ability to build connections with his squad."
The Sun's Martin Lipton wrote that the Nuno-Ange switch - after Forest started the season with a win, a loss and a draw to sit 10th - was "the footballing equivalent of reversing the polarity of the planet. A total culture and attitude shift in the space of a few hours."

Lipton believed it was a roll of the dice from Marinakis and reminded readers of last season's injury-ravaged defensive woes in the league.
"Even the Spurs supporters who mourned his forced departure did not hide from the mess of his second season: a midfield muddle, chaotic set-piece defending, a one-dimensional approach that was seemingly found out by all his domestic rivals - except Ruben Amorim," he wrote.
"Those early days of "I'm loving Ange-ball instead" transformed into a catalogue of jeers and demands for a change."

The Independent's Will Castle also pondered how on earth Postecoglou would set his team up to play.
Forest finished seventh in the league last year on the back of Kiwi striker Chris Wood's 20 goal haul.
But Postecoglou traditionally prefers to play with agile forwards with the speed to press high up the pitch.
"Forest's players have spent the last 21 months adapting to Nuno-ball; the risk-averse playing style that thrives on keeping players behind the ball before counter-attacking with pace, utilising rapid wingers and a potent target man," Castle wrote.
"They now face an ideology shift equivalent to rewriting the laws of gravity as Ange-ball, with an emphasis on high-energy attacking overloads and positional fluidity, becomes the prevailing teaching. Overnight, the entire tactical foundation of Forest's newfound success has been uprooted.

"It would be naive to expect philosophical compromise from Postecoglou. "It's who we are, mate" was the phrase that provided endless ammunition for critics to blast Postecoglou's stubborn mentality, refusing to give up on the system that he has poured so much into...
"But what Postecoglou does have going for him from the outset is charisma. He is a stellar motivator and one that can get the best out of his players in the truly big moments. His Aussie charm may also come in handy behind the scenes...
"His appointment nevertheless is huge roll of the dice from Marinakis. The rarely conceited Greek billionaire is hardly adverse to taking gambles - his penchant for breaking the bank to the point of sanction does not scream pragmatic. But if this latest stormy shake-up pays off, it could well and truly transform Marinakis from football business bogeyman to box office."
