New manager means a new start. The expectations for McGhee this season are probably the same expectations that would have been in place if JC was still here. Namely, a European spot in the league and decent runs in cup competitions. These expectations haven't gone away. But they are not expectations for McGhee alone but for the group of players that he will inherit and for the club as a whole.
What he will get is time to make the team his own and to develop his own style of play and tactics. From us he should expect full support and patience while he tries to do this. Along the way there will be a few defeats, a few disappointments and probably some pish football. McGhee isn't a magic wand for all our problems, but I do think he is the right man now to deliver progress.
Thats exactly what I want to see in the coming seasons - progress. In terms of performance, success and in the financial position of the club. Beating Rangers at Ibrox, stylish football and even silverware all 'nice to haves' which shouldn't distract us from our aim of progress on and off the pitch.
