The games will come thick and fast so we'll soon be able to judge him on what matters - results and performances - rather than how he comes across on an internet chat or what his CV looks like. Right now. I feel the same way I did when Moniz was appointed. Confused.

In terms of experience, Moniz would also be the best comparison. Managed abroad but not here (and Short to a lesser degree). Burchnall has got more experience than Nolan or Derry had in the dug out (who both achieved their immediate objectives) but no playing career to speak of. We'll have to hope he's the next Howard Wilkinson, who didn't have the personality or background you'd traditionally associate with being a successful manager. Other than Wilko, all of the managers that have made any real impact on the club have been strong characters. For that reason I was hoping it would be Gannon.
