With a two year contract, either the appointment has been agreed by the potential new owners, or the sale isn't happening, I'd assume the former at this point. We can see why he's been appointed though, the club needs to build a team. He has said, pretty much, that the reason for his poor performance at other clubs has been because he had to work with what was already there, he's said he was attracted to this post precisely because of where the club is in needing to recruit, so let's see if his action is as good as his talk. He is known though for being able to shape young players into a team, something the club needs to do quickly if we want to hit the ground running, and has some success behind him. I think also the two year contract is telling, rather than three, that with incoming owners, though we need someone now to rebuild the club then stabilise things, the new owners will ultimately be looking to apply their own shape to things. I think, all told, not a bad appointment but not yet an indicator of where new owners might be wanting to take the club.
