Apparently he's turned down a number of approaches from other clubs.

Cue the moaning about lack of signings now the manager is sorted.

I'll start. Where's the fucking players, Power.

They always have. I think its the agent equivalent of 'I've got someone looking at this car later on' Smiley

Good luck to the fella!

Wonder where Luke will turn up next. Hope he gets a gig.

Opinion on him seems very polarised from Bury and Barnsley fans. Either very good or very bad, with little in between.

At least it's polarised.  More than could be said for opinion on LW.

Excellent link, OST.  Loved Flitcroft's lecture to George Graham on discipline.  Will like it even more when I see the scarf over the head shot.

As we know with STFC, always best to wait for that and then wait and see a bit longer. 

As said last week when Flitcroft was first mentioned....

"Flitcroft would be an OK appointment... unspectacular but knows the trade. Bit north western though throughout his career, so coming here might be a culture shock."

The culture thing might seem a bit spurious, but in the north west there are an awful lot of clubs within a short distance of each other, which basically means lots of players in the easily available pool.

Players readily rotate between Blackburn, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale etc having dropped down from the Scouse and Manc clubs academy set ups.

Recruitment for us tends to be more London based, not ideal because of travelling and you can get a different type.

Flitcroft would suggest that Power will take more of a back seat.... so it will be interesting to see the shape his squad building takes.

Bit harsh?

At least we were mostly unified on LW Wink

To be expected I suppose. One promotion, one survival, two looking dodgy seasons. To be honest its a bit Danny Wilson. If you appraise him on year 1, great, year 2 shit.

Any indication on his actual style, passion within the team, fitness of players, etc?

I'm hoping "big budget for league" isn't the normal Power BS (aren't we all) and the relative advantage of that will see him come good.

But like I said on FB, find me a manager that hasn't been sacked that we could get.

He's quite the motivator apparently.

I'm quite pleased with the Flitcroft appointment, but maybe that's because it came after the Sheringham rumour.

Solid enough appointment has a bit of managerial experience, at least it looks like he can appoint his own No 2, fitness coach and physio.

Interesting to see the type of style he believes you need to play for this level, and having managed a team that has played and managed in L1 previously, he may know a few of our players that have been offered new deals so can quickly decided whether to pull contract offers or not.

He's a northerner, so you can be sure there will be a hard line approach.  None of that "Southern Softy" approach to fitness and training that Luke loved so much.

Was he in charge when we played Bury at our gaff last season? They were big & ugly. Bit of a shift from the tappy sideways stuff.
