Walking into an under-achieving football club is never easy. I know, because I spent my career taking on such challenges.
That was the task Michael Carrick took on in January when he was appointed Manchester United's interim manager and took over a club that was drifting deeper and deeper into mediocrity.
Supporters talk about seeing a bounce when new managers take over and, from my own experiences, I do believe that to be the case.
Michael certainly experienced a fantastic period where results and performances improved. In his case, United's improvement to finish third and in the Champions League places was exceptional - and he also calmed the water behind the scenes.
