Mike Newell - Why?

Enjoy the win. Less of the negative shite, even if it's for a day.

All I can say is, whatever we all think Mike is or isn’t or should be doing, I do feel the club could do everyone including Mike a favour by a little bit of PR for him. Do a blog with him or whatever, to show a typical day at training with him,or something.

I remember many years ago me and some other fans were always haranguing Kevin Reeves, shouting “what exactly do you do, Reeves?!” whenever he went to and from the dugout on match days. In hindsight we didn’t know how lucky we were, mid table in what is now League One! And equally, with Flynn spending a lot of time in his high chair in the exec box, clearly Reeves was the man in the dugout doing a lot of the match day coaching from the touchline, not to mention the work he obviously did day to day in training sessions.

I hope the club does something soon to promote the image of what Mike does at the club, and get some sound bites out there of his vision for the rest of the season.

Good , some sense at last

How about #ILikeMike ?

or perhaps the media team could do a pledge of allegiance : “one club, under Mike, indivisible.....”. Would make a a great seller on a shirt at Christmas .

Pathetic scapegoating

Perhaps he's just in the assessing and observing phase...

Like on Jonathan Creek where he'd be all quiet and contemplative as he's trying to figure out what's going on then BANG. Mystery solved.

Hopefully Newell's eureka moment will come during the play-off final

This is a bit like Barrow was the brains. Pure speculation.

I know he was associated with one of the Harry Potter films but he’s done flip all since Four Weddings and let’s face it that was twee

I thought he wasn't there today, then he appeared from the dugout once, never to be seen again.

He hasn't moved us forward with Barrow and we might as well appoint Wrex the Dragon as his assistant, At least he is enthusiastic!

Pathetic post.
