I've backed all our managers, even the ones I didnt like, however, I am left a little puzzled by this appointment. I would love to know why they picked this guy? What have they seen to suggest he is the one to lead us to promotion?
I could have understood it if they had gone for someone with a proven track record, for example Houghton (though personally not a fan of his style). I could also have understood going for a young, upcoming, promising new manager, who offers the hope of being excellent. However this guy is neither of those things. Hes been in management a while now, and has been mediocre at best. So what makes the owner think hes suddenly going to improve a 100% and turn into a promotion winning manager? It rarely happens, does it? How many mediocre managers have suddenly turned it around and become top class managers? Maybe I'm wrong there, I certainly hope so, but I have my doubts.
