Time will tell I guess but if he gets a good support team around him, I think he'll get the best out of the players.
Not at all optimistic about the season, for all the ownership / funding issues, but not feeling negative about the appointment.
Put simply, I don't see anyone else out there that understands the club and will know what should be done to steady the ship. Someone coming in cold from abroad would take time to grasp all the issues before making progress.
IMHO of course.
