Howe receives McCann backing

urnley midfielder Chris McCann is relishing the new season and is convinced that Eddie Howe is the right man to take the club forward. McCann recently agreed a new two-year deal which will keep him at Turf Moor until the summer of 2013.And while the Clarets narrowly missed out on the play-offs last term, he is convinced they will pose a stronger challenge this time around after Howe oversaw a number of improvements in the players' facilities."With the new gym you can see the difference here (at Turf Moor)," said McCann."With the redevelopment of the training ground, that's a big influence as well."All around it's improving and I think the gaffer has a big hand in that."
