I feel a bit irritated by his remarks around promotion to the Premier League and with that have lost a little bit of faith in him before the season starts.

DISCLAIMER: I've never run a football club...However, I've interviewed probably hundreds of people over the years and always favour people who are honest, rather than candidates who try to bullshit and impress me.

As a lifelong fan, I wanted the new manager to set out where we're failing and what his plans are to put it right. All I've seen so far is that he believes we can be a Premier League team and that he likes his players to be disciplined.

If he'd said in no uncertain terms that the club is a shit show and he plans to reset it, I'd have immediate respect for him.

I'm very much hoping that I'm wrong and look forward to August nonetheless.
