Robbie Savage is an extremely surprising appointment for Peterborough United.
His managerial record to date is modest by League One standards and there are question marks over his ability to handle Darragh MacAnthony's famously hands-on style of ownership.
And yet, following two years of stasis, perhaps a Robbie Savage-shaped curveball is exactly what the Posh need?
Savage inherits a side sitting second from bottom of the League One table.
They have scored only four goals in the league so far this season - and only two of their past 23 league fixtures stretching back into last season. Key players have been sold and the summer replacements are yet to convince.
Savage will certainly need to hit the ground running. Job security has proved in short supply for recent Posh managers - with the notable exception of Darren Ferguson.
Luke Williams lasted nine months, Grant McCann the same. Steve Evans reached 10 months. Savage clearly has a huge task on his hands, but whatever happens - you get the feeling that it's unlikely to be dull.
