I hope you are right Pooch, but I fear, like the rest of us, you've spent too long in the desert and have now seen a mirage.
Our owner is treating us like a plaything, our team seems poor to indifferent, our new manager is unproven without a big budget and was in the process of failing when asked to compete against clubs with similar budgets. We have a huge debt which may or may not, continue to be underwritten and we do not know whether that decision will be made with our interests at heart, or out of sheer capriciousness. Buyers may, or may not, be interested in us and we do not know their true intentions.
Mr Caldwell might be great, but equally you could say we've swapped a man who had already saved us once for a man who has never saved anybody. In general I like to embrace change, but if we expect Mr Caldwell to grow us some green shoots we have to get him some compost and all I can see at this very long range looks like concrete and shifting sand.
