A good appointment?
Who knows?
Am I optimistic?
Oh yeah!
I reckon the club has pulled a rabbit out of a red and white hat, because I was curiously ill at ease with Ainsworth and especially with Flynn.
Appleton was not on my personal radar to begin with, but that is not at all surprising because I know sod all about football even after fifty years of watching it.
However, Appleton was obviously not only on the radar of the recruitment team, but at the sharp end of it. That gives me a lot of confidence, because they got their last appointment astonishingly right.
Welcome, Michael; do not be daunted by what has happened before.
