And KM said 'his appointment is the start of an exciting new era at the Club', a bold statement to make although in truth it will be just another lie.
She loves that phrase, the dozy cow. It was "the start of a new era" on last year's season ticket promotional stuff as well. What it actually means is "please can we forget about the catalogue of cock-ups that preceded the arrival of this week's new manager/head coach".
Should be an interesting press conference with some obvious questions to ask - let's hope the press are allowed to ask them... I won't begin to believe anything has changed or has the potential to change until I hear Slade say he has total and full control. Also reading that statement from the club, I find anything Meire says makes me feel physically sick - even something that should be positive.
Can anyone confirm whether he is manager or head coach?
The article clearly states "manager", but of what it doesn't say. Usually you'd expect someone to be announced as the new First Team Manager. With that in mind, I reckon Nobby Vinegar's still on his way as first team head coach, and Russell has replaced Fat Mandy as the Ticket Office Manager.

Didn't see that coming. I had no idea
3 year contract!
Wonders will never cease.
At least I can finally start listening to a manager postmatch who doesn't talk in riddles. Welcome Russell and best of luck.
Press Conference tomorrow, hope one of the journos there is willing to ask the relevant questions.
