We've just won three on the bounce for the first time in.....how long?
Forgive me but after two years of suffering under Powell's rudderless stewardship, Rea has provided the fillip we needed. It should have come much sooner.
It is a different club in many ways to when Rea was here before. The academy sides are performing better and more of the graduates from there are playing for the first team. Part of Rea's role going forward, IMO, is weening the club off the influence of the aussies who will be gone (one imagines) at the end of next season - Randall, Howell, Gower to name just a few.
The idea that we've hired Rea just to rest on our laurels is fanciful. He's got a huge responsibility to build this club into a far more competetive unit than it has previously been, to go towards justifying our currently precarious licensing status.
McDermott arguably laid the foundations but was treading water by the end. Powell was a disaster; Rea has to repair the damage. Let's hope he does.
It is not blatantly false, once all the prospective "candidates" were told of the restrictions and saw the lack of ambition, they one by one pulled out, trust me, no bugger wanted the job!

No PR/Marketing department.
No money for any "marquee" signing.
No mid-season monies.
No strategy for fanbase growth.
No strategy for Amateur Club growth.
I could go on, but just about all the London fanbase on here are fed up to the back teeth of hearing about it to be honest.
