New Manager thread part (96837494)

[adje]

Well, he's here and I will back him and the team 100%.

Nothing like backing the new manager is there?

I wasn't a fan of Jodie Morris as a person, but felt he could bring something fresh to the club. There was potential there and I thought he should have been given a transfer window with his contacts. I sincerely hope Flynn does well, but he has achieved nothing (that doesn't mean he wont) in this league and his football is basic. Just my opinion!

For me it’s a very meh appointment but after the profile of Morris I think a ‘meh’ appointment is exactly what we needed.

Minus his last 20 games at Walsall he’s generally done a solid job in this division previous which is more than can be said for most of our most recent managers.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned with his Walsall record and their fans comments, but at the end of the day Clem has sacked the spiv and appointed an actual football manager (and not a youth coach) quickly and decisively. A lot of what I wanted there even if it is underwhelming.

Can do fuck all but back him now and hope for the best.

I see he has bought Swindon born, former Oxford United player and scorer of comical own goal Wayne Hatswell with him.

I can now say I played with and against our Assistant Manager in the playground as a kid.  If we can entice Jimmy Fraser to take the Technical Director role then we can have three of my School Team's connections involved, with Minturn being the son of Andy who was in the same school team as Wayne and Jimmy.

I'm pretty happy with it. There was a lot of clamour for him before Garner, he did pretty well tweaking Newport's style once they had a football pitch installed at their ground and before that built a side to play to the conditions.

[Jimmy Quinn]

Just listened to Flynn live on the radio......well impressed, can't wait to get going, hairs stood up on the back of his neck with the reception he got from the fans, already looking at players, some great talent here which needs some experience to go with what we've got, massive club and likes to play football if he has the right players even though set pieces are important.

[Processed Beats]

Needs a decent DoF with him imo. Not a Sandro type either.

Still have haunting memories of the football he had Newport playing. That game at their place a few seasons ago was horrific, the worst football I've ever seen any team play.

The one positive for me is that he should have the full Summer and pre season to get working. No last minute scrambling for players like the last few years hopefully.

[Audrey]

Tbf, I’m sure the cabbage patch they had as a pitch dictated how they had to play.

[Robinz]

Flynn has a really good opportunity to put his mark on this club.
All supporters are now just desperately trying to get success
A young team that needs a different approach than Lindsay and Morris gave them.
MF will clearly see Town need 4 or 5 experienced players that will be the backbone of the club.
GK CH big holding CF and a junior Anthony Grant.
Try to keep Austin and Williams.
Job done.

Williams is as good gone and I suspect Austin could be too although less sure on that.

Definitely need a hard nasty bastard like Grant but not past it to play with our smaller technical midfielders like Cain rather than just littering the midfield with all the same type of player.

[Robinz]

Williams is moving on then... that's a shame

[Peter Venkman]

We will see Williams back here next season, just playing for Wrexham.

[Legends-Lounge]

Probably Alex Ferguson.

Pep.

CA has said he’d be ok to stay, need a coffee and a few choccie hob jobs with Flynn to discuss things.
