    Welcome Tony. Time to come in and steady the ship.

    I'm not looking for miracles, but think you'll prove to be a good appointment and mid-table obscurity will do for this season.

    Looking forward to the game tomorrow night and a few more through the door for you to work with.

    I think he will be a decent appointment, plays the same system as we have been playing, and knows how to get the best out of young players, don’t get me wrong AN was a good fit for us and I can understand his reason for leaving, if someone offered me 3 times my salary I would take it.

    however we move on and I think TM is the correct decision from the club.

    <laugh><laugh><laugh> sad reality is that a lot of our social media “fans” are using his “happiness” as a their reason to not want him. At nothing as to how he plays football and develops youngsters. Good luck Tony. Hope you’re here for years

    Great news, not suiting everybody but such is life.
    Hope you are a great success Tony whatever length of contract you've signed up for.
    Sure you'll be more honest with the fans than your predecessor was. Bring on the rest of the season.

    welcome aboard TM (when it is finally announced/if it is him) hopefully the nay-sayers will realise that you are a good fit for this club at this time.

    'excited and elated?' ...no, but happy enough to give the lad a fair chance and imho, possibly one of the better decisions the club could have made.

    EDIT: actually thinking about it, i knew feck all about AN and was hardly excited or elated by his appointment either and that turned out ok (in respect of we got promoted)...every coach/manager and player is a risk so feck it.

    Welcome aboard Tony.
