My feeling is that we won't do so well next season regardless of who is signed in the summer. Not unless he grows some balls anyway. He's too much of a patter merchant with, it seems to me, the wrong priorities. Protecting the back four to the detriment of playing football and affording the opposition way too much respect. It's also been rumoured that he relies a lot on prozone stats, I don't know this to be true but it might explain quite a lot. Sadly.
We'll know more come June anyway but I'm not overly optimistic.
