Wow. Real intention by the guys at the top. What jackett will make of some of our lemons we are yet to find out but sure to have been promised some funds.

If only they had appointed him 2 years ago we would be in the Champinship now.

Bit nippy out there could relate to Tisdale and his array of hatwear although that person looks more portly than Tisdale

Let's all get behind him and the team.
You Os!

First moans from me. Why do the club always put buzzwords in their statements?
‘Experienced manager’ was really f*cking unnecessary. We get it, you ‘listen to the fans’. Also, a one year rolling contract?!
Good manager and too good for this level. Hope this goes well. We’ll be attracting some good players. Bring on next season.

“We look forward to building together both a management team and most importantly a squad of players that our fans can get excited by, and that will lead to a successful 2021/22.“
Of course, why would the club let the new manager decide what he wants. Keep Ling’s little mits involved

Impressive hire.
Seems the owners have learned from the mistakes of the past 2 years. Kudos to them for that.
Reckon there’s a back room staff clear out on the cards too.

Face-saving statement, I reckon. I suspect that KJ will be calling all the shots and ML will be helping (i.e. doing what's asked). I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of change in job-title coming up a little way down the line.

That’s the way it should work. Manager identifies players wanted and DOF delivers them.

They’re understandably wary after past appointments have cost them. If a manager is happy to take a 1 year rolling contract, then that’s great.

Hard to envisage that we could could have done any better than this. Tremendous appointment imho and definitely dispels the doom and gloom that seems to have hung over the club for the last 18 months.

His old man Frank Jackett played for the club in the mid 50s
Anyone old enough to remember him? Must be one

Of all the names that have been bounced around this past 10 days, this one pleases me most.
