I do agree with Cresswell to a certain extent about this appointment as it doesn't really set the world alight. Saying that, the decision has been made and we need to get behind him now. Another thing to note is that we have not just recruited Gary but also his number 2. We have recruited a management TEAM! His number 2 is highly respected throughout management circles so he may be one to have a significant impact on our current state of affairs.

With reference to Gary's playing days which I agree should hold no real relevance in his managerial capabilities, is how well connected he must be across the UK. With no major funds kicking around even if he muttered the words, "I could maybe get some young boys from Everton", the BOD's much have been licking their lips. Getting players like that to somewhere like Queens would be a lot easier than East Fife! Fingers crossed.
