England's new coaching recruit Graeme Jones was parachuted into Newcastle in January - and did not land quietly.
He was presented by the club via a polished in-house interview in which he spoke more like a manager than assistant, causing inevitable suspicion.
But once the noise had eased, the former Luton boss and Belgium assistant let his work on the training ground do the talking.
Within days word began to emerge of just how big an impression he had made on Newcastle’s players.
He had known for a little while that his first game in the dugout would likely be at Everton, and so he arrived with in-depth knowledge of the opposition.
