Raise your half full glasses please. We are now starting to look at least like contenders this season, and for goodness sake lets all acknowledge Roland and all his team for their ambitious and positive efforts on our behalf. If you cannot now feel that shiver of excitement about what is happening, get yourself to hospital quick. At 78 I need to calm down or I might be joining you.
This is great news - but it doesn't strengthen us, simply because we had him last season. What is more promising is what he is saying about the ambition of the club.

Maybe strengthens us in terms of negotiating deals with potential new signings? Probably more likely to sign with someone like Johann on the books
I'm certainly a lot more optimistic than I was a few weeks back. JBG said at the end of last season that he'd wait to see who we signed before committing to a new contract. He's now signed a new, long term contract so must be impressed with who we've bought in/bringing in in the coming days. Can only be a good sign

JK, So pleased for both club and player.
A real statement of intent.

Seth Plum hasn't been on this thread, wearing his "cynical hat"...
Does this mean even HE can not find something negative about this piece of news?
Surely not!
I suspect I owe him an apology as I thought he was just teeing up a good deal elsewhere.
This is great news on so many different levels.
EDIT - @ValleyGary presses F5 better than me and beat me to it, I'll get my coat
