I'm pleased he'll have the opportunity for a clean sweep and to bring in his own trusted team. A full reset is exactly what’s needed right now

That seems positive.

We need a good coaching staff in place, I get the impression that we were running with a much smaller number of coaches than some of the other clubs last season, and many of those were just promoted from the u21s

if thy can also sort out the physio/medical department out as well that would be a big help - lost count of how many hamstring injuries we had last season.
In a recent interviw with Dave Jones, he said at the time he was here, we ad a really advanced medical department, were working closely with the university hospital and had almost no muscle injuries as they had a real focus on warming up and warming down properly - i wonder how that expertise has been lost along the way

His role as Talent ID Scout - - European Emerging Talent for City Football Group should mean that he has contacts all over Europe.

It’s pretty normal for a manager to bring back room staff, not sure why people are surprised. Another who took Rochdale down.

What makes you think anyone is surprised?
