Spoke very well and seems an assertive guy who has definite ideas as to what he wants. He has a massive task ahead of him keeping us up is his priority(and ours). So good luck with that
Brief clip on Look North. He looks (on limited evidence) to have a similar laser-focus to Valerien. Let's hope so.
He came across well......which will be a disappointment to all those on here who have wrote him off before he has even entered the door!
He sounded fairly impressive but talk is cheap, it's what happens on the field that counts. I've heard a few new manager speeches over the years. I remember being impressed by Nigel Spackman when he addressed fans at Ardsley House and look how that turned out. Welcome to Oakwell, Poya and good luck.....you'll need it.
Hes going to need more than a couple of games to sort the mess. Good luck fella. Fitness structure application and lits of man management required.
Sadly among us fans a degree of cynicism has been created about the motivations of our owners and what the long term future of our club is.many of us wanted a "name" as manager with a track record of avoiding relegation..(niva thowt ad see Warnock get so popular) but instead were getting a manager unproven at this level.(bit like Val) but I think we've learned to give whoever it is a chance to prove themselves...so I wish him all the luck and hope he succeeds....
All new managers talk a good game. Every single one. That's how they get the job. I'll wait to see what it looks like out on the pitch.
He keeps us up he’s on his way, we go down he gets sacked. Either way won’t be with us next season so don’t get too attached.
Given that I doubt we'll sack him if we go down fighting and unless we go on a phenomenal run and survive by a mile I'd say there's every chance he'll be here next season.
If he keeps us up and is then head hunted and leaves.......at this moment in time I would take that no problem!
