Agreed.
I'm not 100% sure on total newbies though due to our squad. We've got utter cancers in there, training every day and it's not healthy.
Richards and Gabby are bad enough, but now with someone like John Terry as well, it'd be hard for a left field choice to take charge.
Just to say I rate Terry, and I do think he was a good signing, but we've made it an awkward squad to manage.
I don't know the character of this Potter, it certainly could be done if he is confident enough. Wagner before Huddersfield looks like he'd have been fine walking in to our current dressing room for example.
