He said all the usual things expected of a new manager and I wish him well. Nothing more nothing less.

Before this time next year we will know much better how good he is, it will all depend on players ultimately and Neil/Gary's ability (or even luck) in finding the right ones and then getting them to perform consistently.

Do I take it that you are not very impressed by the new management team.?

If Sinnott had given that interview you would have wanted to give him an Oscar.

I'll come onto that in a minute Jimmy.

I'm just saying time will tell. He seems pretty well qualified and I dont know of any better options we have.

C'mon Ballers, let rip.

Well, I think it was a very uplifting interview. I also get the distinct impression that he'll be much more effective than LS when it comes to persuading players to come to Alty.

I agree here. I very much liked his effort to ensure that any of his targets didn't sign for anyone else before at least speaking to them. They clearly have contacts and know it. There's not much point beating LS and NT up about this, it may be a case they were too reserved in their statements and ultimately we'll never know how many players they nearly made great signings of but you always got the impression they didn't have great contacts and any decent signing was a nice surprise.

Pukka says it was the standard interview but for me a lot of intent shone through. I suppose effectively he said that it was a reduced budget, we probably wouldn't get the player he wanted and was merely going to put a committed team out rather than promising a promotion push but it still came across as very serious and positive.

[PukkaPieman]

Yes completely agree Ballers with your analysis. The point I was alluding to was that I've just heard so many interviews like this that I've come to realise that actions and performance always speak louder than words.

If I recall LS said he would put a smile back on our faces which at the time seemed quite a statement but most fans agreed he did do, but eventually (41/2 years later) he lost his appetite, funny that at Stockport NY resigned when things went awry in his first season, but I hear he was pretty unlucky there and was undermined a lot there and thats why he went. LS wasn't undermined at Alty, I think he just realised he had taken the team as far as he could.

I just hope Neil and his team do well and until proved otherwise he has my support.

Two Val Owen/Eddie Hussin types needed in midfield.

Lots of the right noises being made and reassuringly a familiarity with the current squad. Finally a manager who knows the local scene and has no ties to the club before. Should've been six weeks ago.

I thought we have drawn a line under that.
Move on!!

Bryan,

I know that it would be extremely convenient for certain individuals if the club were suddenly to declare a Year Zero like Cambodia in 1975 but people are actually entitled to comment on the events of the 2015/16 season.

Barry,
I was replying to what SW had posted on 1st May.
Can't  do this cut and paste thing.

Maybes are maybes, now thankfully action has been taken.
New start ' LETS MOVE ON AND UP'.
Welcome Neil.

You are correct Barry that everybody is entitled to their opinion.
But we have got to move on soon.
If this carries on, it will be going on longer than 'The War Of The Seventh Coalition'!!!
