We will see an improvement from the players no doubt. When you go from the former staff to this guy it's going to be far different. Think he NOW has something to prove as this truly is his biggest job. He's not a royal cunt like Pardew and he's also got it in his to walk if he believes he can't do it anymore.
I'm fully backing him once he's announced and will be hoping (praying) for sweeping changes in coaching, fitness, psychology, tactics and individual performances based on what I know of what he's capable of doing. Hopefully we sign some decent players and we flog the crap ones; hoping also we bring in the few frozen out ones and they get clean slates too.
I want to get back to enjoying football or having some bit of hope - even if Ashley and co still own this club, I want to at least get some excitement or some joy out of this again.
