Good appointment for me... solid coaching experience, worked with top level players for years so should bring a nice professional approach with him.

Relatively happy with that. Seems well regarded in the game and has plenty of experience at a high level. Should also have a few decent contacts and most importantly, he should be itching for the chance of being the main man at a club and has plenty to prove.

Welcome KMac.

I think a board many of us have given a pretty hard time so far will rise somewhat tonight in a lot of peoples estimation, at least on the basis of their footballing knowledge, for making what (on paper) seems a promising and sensible appointment in their first major act as owners.

Let's face it, it was not a name anyone was really touting before it appeared out of the blue on the bookies short-list, but now some of us have done a bit of digging it seems they've pulled out from behind a rather unpromising list of potential candidates a man who ticks a lot of the boxes most of us are looking for: experienced, but also hungry, popular with players, good history with bringing through youth, decent connections, worked at a top level. Should bring a stable future to the club.

Well done Jed and co.

Good choice for me. Now let's start getting some players in....

Absolutely spot on. A sensible rather than knee jerk appointment of a man with actual credentials rather than just a big name/ego for the sake of it. Impressed.

EDIT: Of course, I reserve the right to call them a bunch of clueless fuckwits who should have gone for (insert name of whoever turns out to look like a better choice at the time) if he doesn't work out

Thank You, just came to me...may even hear it come out the Town End or at Coventry on Saturday...I did wonder if you could ever fit a nursery rhyme into a football chant

Kev MacDonald had a club, EE-I-EE-I-O,
And at that club he had a Ferry, EE-I-EE-I-O,
With a Ferry here and a Ferry there
Here, there, everywhere a Ferry
Kev MacDonald had a club, EE-I-EE-I-O.

And at that club he had a Thompson, EE-I-EE-I-O

(etc. etc. Archibald-Henville could cause a few problems)

We'd get annihilated at corners with a team of ferrys. Think it through
