I'm impressed just reading about the whole club training session that took place last night.
We are a big club - and the mission should be constant right throughout.
I recall saying this five years back when he got him onboard as an assistant to a failing Mary. He needed to come in and start wielding some influence right through the joint then. While, for various reasons, his hands might have been tied, I'm sure a lot of brainstorming was going on back then. Now we are starting to see some of the ideas coming to light.
In reality - I still think all of this is going to take a good number of years, maybe as much as another 5-7 years. We need to get that junior system firing again (like it was 20 years ago). Only then can we reap the rewards.
The leadership structure we've created for the next couple of years will have us in good stead.
All in all, we are on the way to returning to the team that everyone can be proud to be part of !
