Pass, tackle, defend, press and actually compete.
Stay in the league.
My expectation after the dogshit we have had to endure.
Let's see what players he gets in and good luck to him.
That he has to recruit more or less an entire squad, may work to his advantage. If his methods are a bit old skool then, there won't be any left to grumble. Sturrock liked to get in players he'd worked with, so if Flitcroft wants a team of journeymen norvern cloggers then fine.

They've all told the club they are leaving apparently.
Good, if they dont want to help right the wrongs of last season then they can all piss off

Can't be any worse than last season surely? For that reason I'm positive about the appointment. Yes, me, positive

I like the way he wants to put some pride back into the team and his emphasis on working together. Right signals for me.

Echos of PDC's comments when he first joined.

Good interview, said all the right things. Reading between the lines of what he said at the end about appointing a no.2, I wouldn't be surprised to see fellow Mancunian Alan Mac get the gig. If I'm wrong just call me Dr Bilko

Him and Alan Mac are good mates I believe.

Paul Hart was a no nonsense type... as Oxford fans in Witney would testify.

Well that could have gone a lot worse! We have a proper manager for the first time in a number of years who won't have his hands tied by those above. I got so bored of LW's style of football, no cutting edge to it, will be interesting to see what kind of players we get in and it's nice to feel excited about pre season again.

The number 2 will almost certainly be Ben Futcher Good interview, said all the right things. Reading between the lines of what he said at the end about appointing a no.2, I wouldn't be surprised to see fellow Mancunian Alan Mac get the gig. If I'm wrong just call me Dr Bilko

Not the most exciting of appointments but given some of the other names I'll take it. The good news is that he appears to have no connections to Power or Sherwood. Hopefully, he'll be able to crack on now. When Bury beat us at Swindon with him in charge, they kicked a few early on, were organised and waited for us to fuck up - a good plan really. If he can get us fit, organised and giving a fuck that will be a vast improvement. Whether he can crack movement at our throw ins remains to be seen.
