On reflection,and having listened to his excellent interview on sky sports this afternoon,i am a lot less pessimistic about the new season than i was 24 hrs ago.He was ,at best,polite about Lennons contribution but i liked the language he used,talking about "moving things on " "next level" and such like .It sounded as if he felt hamstrung under Lennons tenure and i sensed excitement about the opportunity ahead.I know talk is cheap but 24hrs on ,i am content to have him in the hotseat and i am beginning to think we could have done a lot worse
