I was dead pleased with his appointment. After last season's fiasco, we needed a no-nonsense hardliner more than ever. I don't think I'm sticking my neck out too much by predicting he'll be a massive success.

This season is a rebuild imo.
Bob, aren't all appointments based on gut feeling, even by those doing the interviews? Of course, even those who are trusted firmly can let everyone down, but we all like to think we are good judges of character and potential, and even though we are often proved wrong, it never stops us having gut feelings again.The only alternative to that of course is to cut out the gut feelings and instead do the sensible thing and ask BST what is really going to happen in the future.

My gut feeling is you will be. Let’s give him time though. This season is a rebuild imo.I've never bought into this "rebuild" or "consolidation" season concept. Every season is a rebuild for every club, because when a team doesn't gain promotion, the better players move on to a higher level. It happens to us every season, and to every other club.The aim is the same this season as any other season, to go out and try to win every game. How could a team possibly try to plan anything else?

Not sure "cobbled together team" is fair on our recruitment so far.
