Anything mentioned about Lee Croft?
Just a couple of things. Firstly, we always knew in his first public appearance he was going to try and be as amicable as possible and the stage was already set in terms of not giving anything away on the signings front. he did say though that he knows Richie Wellens very well and he is the calibre of player he wants to bring. May be an element of saying things that we want to hear in terms of playing football on the deck etc. Also confirmed categorically that Rob Jones is his choice as captain and leader. He's talking about bringing in 2 'assistants', assuming one will be Brian Horton.Secondly, he did not scurry away once the formalities were over and he took the time to talk to a few people. He came across as very personable, very easy to talk to and gave me some confidence that teams will not be looking forward to their visits to the KM.On the negative side, and only time will tell, he doesn't give the impression that he has a 'blueprint' in mind and will fit players in to that structure, but will try and mould together the best of what he can get. I think he will have to learn as he goes and you wonder how he'll conduct himself under pressure. I get the feeling it could be shit or bust with him unless he takes counsel from those around him and counts to 10 before opening his mouth. Overall, definitely more positive than negative and I'm sure we will get behind him and wish him all the best.
