Peter Beardsley: "We've got a chance to win something now under Kevin.
"Previously, under Sam and Glenn, and I'm not knocking them, you never thought it was going to happen.
"Everyone now believes that we are going to win something.
"Whether that be the Carling or FA Cup, they believe again. I think that things are on the up once again at this club.
"And that's all down to one man.
"KK has got that magic. He has the fans at heart and he knows what the club is all about."
But Beardsley said (back in November): "To be discussing Sam's future after just 15 games in charge is ludicrous, but that's football these days.
"I have no doubts Sam is the right man for the job and I'm sure he'll get it right. But he'll need time in order to succeed. He's said that all along."
