Indeed.
It would be quite extraordinary if the club had agreed and Sam had signed a contract and he was not introduced to the crowd as our new guvnor.
It is what every club does....the caretaker picks the team and remains in charge as the new fellow watches on from the stands.
In normal circumstances it boosts both the crowd and the team.
That we might not do it tonight shows just how much even our board know it to be an unpopular appointment.
Now, I do not believe for one moment there would be widespread booing if it was announced tonight.
There would be no great negative reaction from the crowd.
But nor would there be any enthusiasm either......and at the heel of the hunt, that would be tantamount to the same thing
