Danny Wilson confirmed as manager

[fergz]

Not a bad appointment, just glad to have a friggin manager!!

At least he knows what it is about and should hit the ground running. Good appointment I think.

I think I am correct in saying that Danny Wilson holds the record at both Bristol City and Hartlepool United for the longest winning sequence of games.

What kind of run of results would he have to knock together to take that honour here?

Obviously our history is more prestigious and glorious than both those sides, so it may not be as easy for him to achieve as it has been previously...

I dont know how many games he needs to go unbeaten to get the record but now would be the bloody perfect time to do it.

Wilson has usually stopped around at each club for a good number of years.

Our last manager to get to 200 games in one spell was Steve McMahon!!

Wouldn't have been my first choice but doesn't look to be a bad choice. Hopefully it will give everyone a lift. It will be interesting to see who his back room staff will be and how much trading he can do / is able to do in January.
Haven't got a problem with his Slave Trading history and he's got no Scum connections.  

[Crozzer]

I thought that Danny was the most obvious choice when he became available, assuming that Money was never going to be an option.

Byrne to stay on?  I would expect so, otherwise this would have been over sooner with the January window.

Danny Wilson's assistants throughout his career.... (I think)

Eric Winstanley at Barnsley
Peter Shreeves at Sheffield Wednesday
Frank Barlow at Bristol City
Ian Bowyer at Franchise
Ian Butterfield at Hartlepool

Good result, I think. He has a pretty good career record, barring the spells at Sheff Wed & Franchise.

He has lots of experience (nearly 15 years as a manager) with most of it in the Football League.

The important thing is we have a half decent (at least) manager at long last who will hopefully turn things round.

Brian from Larkhill is not happy with the appointment and will not be continuing with his season ticket, starting from now.

This is very upsetting

[Rich Pullen]

Christ almighty... He managed Bristol City, doesn't mean he supports them.

What do some of our fans expect given our position?

BBC RS say he's not bringing a backroom team with him - at least not immediately.

Not suprised and not concerned as he's never taken a entourage with him anywhere.

Thats no surprise. There is no way we could afforded to cull all our backroom staff and replace them all. Myself and Reg were saying this well before Malpas got sacked but alot of people didnt want to accept it.

I just read thisis. Dont know why but red ken is an Oxford fan right?

[bigbobjoylove]

Good appointment, happy with that. Was fearing the worst with some of the other names being knocked about (Staunton etc)

Anyone know what sort of contract length Williams and Bryne have left?

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I must listen to you more often DV..you are truly the forum sage
