Official: It's Mick!

Gives us a better chance of staying up that's for sure. With Chris Badlan's comments it does sound like they will be looking elsewhere for next season. If he does really well and we stay up though do we think they will still twist or will they be tempted to stick with him?
 
The comment from the SD suggests this gives a breather to get someone in long term in the Summer. Win win really. MMc knows where the land mines are, will get a few quid and then chance to do something else.
 
I'm pleased it's only for the remainder of the season, as he's not a manager that gets a team playing particularly exciting footy. But needs must, and I think potting Appleton and bringing in Mick has enhanced our survival prospects significantly. For a start, the fans are going to get behind him and the team now, and there's unlikely to be any of the toxic atmosphere that would've undermined everything had Appleton stayed.
A sensible couple of decisions by the board, following six months of poor ones. If, and it's a big if, we get out of trouble and stay in this league, we can go for someone new and get back on track in terms of the progress we had been making in the last couple of years.
 
Lets do this. Get Bloomers bouncing Saturday.

… until end of the season he is as good as anyone else. He has a wealth of experience of this division and more and will I am sure get them going. 👍
 
Other than Bielsa who really needs to be our manager as he would fit the town like a glove, I'm pretty indifferent to whomever we appointed.

MM had plenty of experience, hopefully he will motivate and not humiliate our players and get the best out of them

His historic 'land of the giants' isn't what he's inheriting, he's got quite a skillful set of players at his disposal.

Play them in their correct positions, coach them so they know where they need to be and tell them they are representing the most famous town in the country and hope we get 10 wins between now and the end of the season.
 
He'll sign some 6'3" giants and play the long ball game he always has done. Football dinosaur.
Thought he was older than 63 though.
 
Really happy with this, probably the best we could have got considering the situation we're in.
Infinitely more confident about us having a chance of staying up now.
 
I'm happy with the appointment.
Mick will firstly want to rebuild our colander like defence, to stop it leaking goals - don't concede you don't lose.
Who'll be the number 1 keeper?
Note to the board: Give Mick what he needs to do his job and he will keep us up.

Lest we forget he has over 1000 games under his belt and won this Division twice and play off excursions.If you are in a critical condition I would suggest you need a specialist.Say no more.
 
Great news, a proper manager with huge experience at the highest level, my only concern is that he doesn’t look half as scary with glasses.
 
Gave Wolves some great times and for me it all went wrong in one game v Villa when Frimpong (on loan from Arsenal and playing really well) got injured when we were leading - we then lost game….

Hope he does well for Pool and perhaps is what needed, it’s a big departure from young up and coming sort.
