It also feels not too dissimilar to when we came straight back down in 1999 following that horror show season and BFR fiasco.
We were all suffering with delusions of adequacy and relevance and talking about (then) high profile high stock names like Hoodle and MON.
We ended up with a recently retired England midfielder whose managerial experience was a few less than stellar games leading Sampdoria from the stands.
We all tried to convince ourselves that it was an exciting progressive thinking marquee coup of an appointment.
