Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is happy with his first days at the club.
Howe will debut as Toon manager against Brentford on Saturday.
Howe said: "Really good 10 days, thoroughly enjoyed it and the players have responded well.
"We have covered a lot and will try to implement philosophy in a steady way, and we definitely want to shape team in the way we want to go forward. I've been very impressed by the response and attitude of everybody.
"We planned very well, prior to me getting job. I have been preparing for this moment for a long time, as in my return to management to make sure that when I came in I was ready to go from day one and that's served me well in this job.
You go in and you can implement your ideas straight away. I have slightly tweaked my philosophy from previous years because you have to evolve. We have covered a lot of bases and hopefully we have got the balance right."
The new manager also said: "I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's a huge challenge that we face - I'm under no illusions about our current situation and what we need to do.
"Tomorrow is a massive day for everybody connected with the football club. The supporters have shown how important it is, a sell-out.
"I'm sure the atmosphere will be a brilliant thing for me and my players to experience.
"I thank the supporters for everything they've done for me to this point, how welcome they've made us feel, me and my staff, and I just urge them to really try to help the team get a win tomorrow."
