Speaking about the appointment of Boothroyd which has left City supporters clearly divided, judging by the reactions on websites, message boards and other media forms, Mr Ranson, knowing that the doubting supporters have to be won over if the club are to get anywhere near the break even gate they require told Sky Blue Player: ""Fans do not have to worry about the long ball because that was one of the first questions I asked him.
"He will play fast, attractive football and winning football and that's all I'm interested in.
"Aidy has manager in the Premier League, got a team promoted to the Premier League and he is only 39 so that is all great news for us and for the fans.
"Fans should be excited because I know I am after having practically lived with the man for the last 48 hours. He's infectious, enthusiastic and very well prepared and I hope he's here longer than the three years we have him contracted to."
