So Plymouth Argyle have got their man in Tom Cleverley.

Chairman Simon Hallett says the former Watford boss is the "the perfect person to be our next head coach".

But what did you think? Here are some of your takes on Cleverley being the new man in the Argyle dugout.

Andy: I welcome any new manager and wish Tom all the best and hope great things come for Argyle. Am still a bit concerned by his lack of experience but every novice manager has to start somewhere.

Ben: I am not convinced. I hope I am wrong but really wanted a more experienced manager with proven success. Hoped for Ruben Selles but guess the South West wasn't for him.

Jeremy: As an Argyle fan living in Hertfordshire, I've seen plenty of Watford over recent years. The fans adore Tom Cleverley and you don't reach that status at a club without being top quality. Some fans seem worried that it's another ex-Man Utd player but I see Cleverley having very little in common with Rooney.

Andrew: Another unproven manager with little track record but a flashy name who will use us as a stepping stone. But that's what everyone wants. Personally I'd rather we gave it to one of our own like Paul Wotton.

Robert: Hopefully now, we have a manager that will be loyal through success and the board loyal to him through the tough times. Give him a full season in charge and see where we are. If promotion does come along, make it very hard for him to leave.

Mark: Great appointment after being relegated. Shows ambition to go straight back up with the new early signings. Need a top striker, with [Ryan] Hardie we will be flying.

Leonardo: Rooney 2.0? Wish we had gone for an older, wiser, experienced manager to steady the good ship Argyle after recent seasons of turmoil and upheaval, not another experimental unproven project. Surely new young managers should start with a few non-league clubs?

Keith: We needed someone with Argyle ties, not another celebrity. No win scenario. Cleverley fails and Argyle fail, or he succeeds and accepts the first offer to go elsewhere. Shilton, Rooney, Cleverley... just another high profile name. Will we ever learn?

Phil: Well done to the board for making a decision early. It remains to be seen if it's the right one but Tom has shown qualities needed for success so let's give the man a fair go. A decent start will have the fans backing him to the hilt and quickly forgetting last season's despair.

Clive: We got the best coach available. The Green Army will back him. He must keep Joe Edwards as he's our captain and leader. His blood flows green and he has the ethos of the club in his heart.

Anthony: Definitely a positive appointment. Thought that Tom was very unlucky to get the sack at Watford. It promises a very attractive brand of football, the way he manages. Hopefully he can get Argyle back in the Championship at the first attempt and can persuade Adam Randell and Ryan Hardie to stay at Argyle.

Nick: Delighted. Decent young coach who sold £30m worth of players last summer, reinvested just £3m and still managed to improve on their previous finish.
