PETERBOROUGH boss Rob Lyon insists the enforced loss of an entire season hasn’t dampened his enthusiasm for the sport.
The former Great Britain manager was one of the big headlines last winter when he agreed a return to club duty with the Panthers after a run of sustained success with King’s Lynn earlier in his career, only for the 2020 league campaign to be wiped out by the pandemic.
Lyon said: “I’m still really looking forward to it in the same way I was when I agreed to come back into management this year.
“I did miss it this season of course, but everybody else was in the same position so to be honest I didn’t miss it in that respect.
“I was quite content to get everything out of the way so that when we do re-start, we do it properly, although obviously if we had gone ahead this year then we would certainly have gone for it.
“I’m as enthusiastic as I was when I decided to come back in, that’s not changed at all, so I can’t wait to finally get going.”
