There's no question that there's been a major transformation around the club since Darren Moore took control of the first team and he deserves massive credit.
While how non Albion fans perceive the club clearly isn't the be all and end all, there's no question that over the last few seasons any empathy from other supporters or the media has totally disappeared and hard to imagine any neutrals were disappointed to see us depart the Premiership, and there was that perception we were just making up the numbers, playing safety first football and really bringing nothing to the party (so to speak).
So wonderful to now have a genuinely respected figurehead at the helm and an opportunity to reinvent ourselves in many respects, on and off the pitch, regardless of our ultimate finishing place this season.
From a personal perspective, a united front off the pitch would, for me, be as much as a bonus as any success we may have on it.
As we all know, the Championship can be a real slog and inevitably we'll end up taking a few hits along the way, and with quite an upheaval in the squad we may not get off to the start we are all hoping for, but I just hope Darren Moore is given plenty of time to make his mark.
We all want the Albion to be successful as possible but I'm more than happy if Darren Moore is given as long as it takes, rather than going down the route of the short term fixes and managerial and coaching merry go round we've witnessed at the Albion over recent times, and at so many other clubs.
COYB!!
