The first manager since Ollie I love listening to.
Honest, confident & talks sense!

Absolutely. I remember always being excited to listen to Ollie's pre-match interview on the old website. Except for a brief period with Ince, there hasn't been a manger since who I actually wanted to hear interviewed, until now. It's a nice feeling, and gives us some optimism.
 
He will be on Ben & Chris’s case once he sees the target lists lol.

I’m pretty confident he won’t be accepting fob offs easily
 
Great stuff.

He knows how good the atmosphere can be at Bloomfield road.

I think the club may have mentioned about potentially keeping him on if the goal is achieved.

But it's pointless to discuss further as if we go down and it doesn't work, he's might not want to stay, we might not keep or we might have different plans for a style to come back up. If he does keep us up then the real conversation can happen.

He's right, focus on the 19 games, achieve the goal, then have a real conversation.

Says Goode was impressive in training which is good news.


I think they've said the opposite tbh.

You think? It's surely up in the air, if he does well and wins the required games it would be getting a struggling team to drastically improve.

We still havent actually seen his football yet.

The board will no doubt have plans for long term coach, but sometimes people can come along and fit in a different way.

If he's successful I'd be surprised if he just leaves, but whoknows.

He lives and is settled in London
Think we are a shop window opportunity for him, maybe QPR next?
 
Very good interview.

About his 8 game losing streak at Cardiff, "there were mitigating circumstances but it's my responsibility"
No excuses, no trying to manage expectations, just an honest response.

Encouraging comments about Goode as well.

When Jurgen Klintman was manager I think.

He said he left that game early after doing his scouting so it might have been 2-1 at the time and that's what he remembered. Brett got his goal in the 80th minute for 3-1. Adam got booked when were we sweating on him not doing so as it was a second ban for accruing yellow cards and everyone knew it on the night. He missed the Wolves game a few days later. And then DJ had a meltdown and we got battered 4-0.

He's at the end of a long management career where a lot has happened to him and around him. As long as he remembers his current players, tactics and opposition.

To be honest, I’m amazed he remembered what he did. I wouldn’t be able to recall that level of information from the games I’ve attended this season, never mind over a decade ago.

Wasn't Redknapp the Spurs manager at the time?

That Brett goal made him the only player to have scored in all 4 divisions (I think?)

Yep, we got beat at MM's Wolves after Spearman (think that was his name) got a daft reaction from DJ to get him sent off. Spearman had been committing niggly fouls and DJ retaliated, which is what Spearman wanted.

I remember listening to an MM interview before a game against us. He went through our entire first 11 and listed the threats each player had against his side. A knowledgeable guy who does his research.

That's what MM called Klopp last week (Jurgen Klintman) when he was trying to remember his name.

Redknapp was Spurs manager that night and yes, we got played a bit by Wolves that day. Which is the kind of thing we're going to need to be in these remaining games. Try and make every advantage count.
 
He's an infectious character, love listening to him. 30 years experience of a manager, nobody can fault that.

Looking forward to us marching up the table.
 
He's never been a Blackpool player or manager before so don't know why people expect him to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the club or remember every correct detail about a game he watched many moons ago

That dirty Wolves bstrd was Richard Stearman, a really nasty and big piece of work. He was fouling DJ all match but the culminating foul was from behind and a vicious raking with his studs down the back of DJ’s Achilles tendon. The sort of intentional foul that can put a player out for a season or end a career. I can still see it in my mind’s eye now. No wonder DJ reacted and I can totally forgive him for that.

Stearman is still playing, now at Derby County, having had a long career playing 465 games over 18 years. Still a horrible player though.
