Risky... or a perfect time to return to Deepdale?

[BBC] Earlier, we asked what North End fans thought of the decision to bring Graham Alexander and assistant Chris Lucketti back to the club in a bid to help them climb away from the Championship relegation zone. Here are some of your responses: Bill : Quite honestly, I find this appointment underwhelming to say the least. The fact it's taken so long to make an appointment after Paul Heckingbottom's departure suggests that Alexander was not the first choice, or maybe not even second choice. Having said all that, there's no doubt he has a real affinity with the club and if he fails, it won't be through the want of hard work. All we, as supporters, can do is get behind him and the players and hope for a rapid rise up the table. Gary : Glad to see him back, what a great guy and PNE through and through, but only time and a good January transfer window will say if this is the right appointment. There's a lot of hard work and long weeks ahead. [Getty Images] Jim : Unproven in the Championship but the new management team have Preston North End running through them. We have huge problems at the back and Grezza and Chris were both defenders for us which bodes well. A risky appointment perhaps but given the last five years they have nothing to lose. I'm sort of optimistic I think. Attack is the best form of defence, however, and this is something we have been starved of for years so I'm hoping, once the type of system he opts for is addressed, that we might be entertained. Martin : Top appointment: club legend Graham Alexander will get us where we want to be. I believe he's got the job on merit too. He's been a great manager so far. Bringing Lucketti as his assistant is just the icing on the cake, great to see. Graham : Pleased with the appointments, now is the time to get behind the team and let's forget about all the negativity surrounding a few of the previous managers. Pete : Grezza has always been a natural born winner and leader. He adores the club, fans adore him. Bags of management experience in different leagues and different situations. Now is the perfect time to bring him back. A truly exciting appointment and absolutely the right one. The club has badly needed a character like him in the set up for a number of years.
