" marvellous isn't? you know. wasn't it? "
It's not yet a month since the takeover was made official and the disastrous reign of Duchatelet was finally ended. The new owner's communication has already far exceeded that of the Belgian.
The plans for the club are everything one could hope for embracing on and off the pitch matters and importantly the club's connection to the community.
Lee Bowyer has been given a decent 3 year contract with offers on the table for the rest of the management team. Steve Gallen has been appointed director of football.
The plans for the training ground and the academy have been revealed and they all look fantastic.

Matt Southall has been a very visible chairman who has thrown himself fully in his role. From day one he has made himself available to anyone remotely connected with the club.
Matt has attended numerous meetings including one last week with trustees of the museum amongst others after having paid it a visit.
Amazingly, I note that someone on Twitter accused Matt of meeting " political " fans! Really? What a laughable comment and of course, utter tosh
I appreciate that we have one day left to get some bodies into the club. That they haven't arrived to date will not be for the want of trying.
Looking across a number of clubs and there hasn't be much transfer activitiy to date with most of them.
I suspect that there will be a trickle down effect with the top level clubs wanting to ensure that they have cover where the may be selling players on or loaning them out.
However, some of our fans have little patience and lack an appreciation of what's been done to date. You can't overturn 6 years of neglect within a matter of weeks.
It's not ESI's fault that we find ourselves with management and players on short or expiring contracts and a threadbare squad.
It's worth bearing in mind that it's not in Matt's interests if things go wrong. He himself has someone ( other than the fans ) to answer to. He certinaly won't want to make a mess of it.
There are so many issues to be positive about albeit that in terms of players much remains to be resolved within the next 27 hours.
Hopefully, in a packed Valley on Saturday fans will appreciate that they have much to be grateful for and will be cheering the team on to a vital win!
COYR!
