Must admit that I wasn't that overjoyed with Mick's appointment but that is a very good interview and he's given me a bit of belief !

Comes across very well. More passion in that few minutes than 7 months of Appleton

Top guy is Mick. He will get us out of this.

Exactly the same here. Wasn't my first choice, but after hearing that interview, can't help but feel as if he's the right man to keep us up

Proper football manager, not one of these up and coming 'cool' managers.

The difference in attitude and enthusiasm between him and Crappleton is unbelievable and MM is 20 years older too!!

did like when he said TC will get a tune out of our strikers , let’s hope so

Good interview, like that he acknowledged that the players were still putting a shift in and hadn’t downed tools. Don’t think their work rate can be faulted and don’t even believe they’re short of confidence, just lacking any sort of organisation under Appleton that hopefully we’ll see under Mick.

He just gives the impression that he knows what he's doing. A manager of his standing and experience wouldn't come to a club he felt had no hope of surviving. The last 48 hours have given me much more confidence of staying up, and just as importantly the board have shown they aren't happy to let us slide.
Bring on Saturday, can't wait now.
We've gone from a manager with very little championship experience, to one of the most experienced there is. A huge step up imo.

I will tell you what until I heard that I was dreading him.
He spoke better about us, himself and his coach better than all Applestrudels interviews put together.

Welcome MM
A nice bit of talk about actually coaching, there's a novel idea. Hopefully looking at defending corners as well.
It's easy to approach the interview knowing what the fans want to hear, and to some extent MA did the same with his first interview. But hopefully this is a good appointment, as long as our 'flair' players don't get sidelined.
Jürgen who by the way? Klopp or Klinsman?

Fantastic interview - he's a wily old dog and a few of the younger managers in this league won't fancy playing his side.

He sounds as grateful to have us as we are him there. Really good that. Put a smile back on my face.

I can't see him having many different options for Saturday even if anyone else comes in before then. It will just be a case of shuffling the pack.Can't wait for him to bench Yates, Bowler and Poveda
I'd like to hope he's watched plenty of videos of our recent games and identified where changes are needed.
He certainly won't be able to pick a team of giants.

We don't need a manager who fist pumps the home end but someone who talks positively and won't give up. That's all we ask for. He's the man, I'm convinced of it.

Like many I wasn't crazy when his name popped up, but tbf I have never looked into him.
Loved the interview, always knew he was a character. He might just fit here, you never know.
Still questions to ask about the style of play but I'm confident the club must know how he will use the talents we have.
But with the fans onside, which seems to be the case, we will have our 12th man back and that alone might be the difference.
I liked what he said about Terry improving the strikers.
Plus hes no nonsense and you might get to see something like this....

I’ve turned that frown upside down and am feeling positive about this now.
Feels like we’ve employed a proper adult this time

What a breathe of fresh air!
Says it as he sees it and it rolls off his tongue with ease, honesty and a belief in what he says.
Wish him well and expect him to succeed in his mission.

Liked it a lot. Positive language goes a long way.
Bit concerned he called Jurgen Klopp - Klinsmann
but he can call people whatever he wants if he keeps us up…
Or as Mick says “When we stay up”. Love that.
