Feel good factor kicked in right away listening to Wilfried's interview. Said all the things I wanted to hear. Good man Wilf, take us on a new football journey, the game is always evolving and new ideas are most welcome.

I turned it off after 1 minute, could not bear to listen. :S.
{Ed007's Note - I got to the bit he said "I've been following this Club for many years... I know the Club really well"...
I wonder if Danny McGrain's been up to see him yet?}

Can't send that to my grandchildren Ed???
I don't know about the players but I was bamboozled after he said, the ball is only a tool.
Can't wait till he meets our media. I know they usually make up what they write but on these occasions they will probably need to, because none of those tw*ts will understand a word he says.
Best part was when he said he didn't intend ripping up what MON had done but will embed his philosophy over time.
It appears his style is about closing down in packs, attacking in packs and protecting the ball.
Or he could have said something completely different.
{Ed007's Note - As long as the players understand what he's saying and he Nancy knows what he's talking about we'll be fine....

Maeda in Paradise - I'm pretty sure you picked him up wrong, he never said "a ball is only a tool" I believe he said "the ball is the only tool" and the ball will allow the players to express themselve.
His training style is 90% delivered with a ball. He is similar in coaching style to Biesla, Guardiola, Tuchel and Xavi Alonso. I reckon a few of our players will thrive under that style.

Cheers Aldo, I am installing AI translator onto my phone ??
He does sound like he is a man Manager which as MON says is the most important weapon a Manager has. The players already have the tools or they wouldn't be at the club, so they just need guidance and support.
The new dawn has begun.

Whilst underwhelmed by the appointment initially, a new chapter still brings a bit of excitement (hope, more than anything) and I've warmed to the guy a wee bit after listening to him.
