When was the last time we had such a talismanic manager ? Is AT the first in a generation? As the fans expectations are merely for survival this season ,does that allow him the room not normally associated with our championship campaigns to operarate without pressure,and thus afford the team to play football without fear,rather than the attritional style of previous tennents @ the Ricoh. We were so lucky he was around last season to halt our freefall,Sisu were lucky that by accident, they've happened on a manager unburdened of previous success or failure,And surely AT deserves to be lucky,having had the confidence in himself to make the leap,and operate under such tight constraints.

AT's work in football has always been observing. Maybe he observed that most of the teams that go up play good football. We have played crap football for a long time before he took over. Where has it got us? He has always been a good scout. He will know exactly what kind of player can do a certain job for us.
