In all honesty, I don’t think I’d be overly upset if we got relegated, that may sound funny because I would have been pissed off to go down under RN, but I feel like we’ve got our identity back, and a season....he says hopefully......in League 2, wouldn’t be the end of the world.
This. Our last season in League 2 was pretty good. Gave us great momentum for the 10 years since. Well, up until Robbo's departure.
Absolutely not this. I want us playing at the highest level possible, and always higher than Kingston. Besides, there's absolutely no guarantee that next season would be a promotion year in league two. It may be, and Micciche may prove a great manager; or we may just continue to slide down as it may turn out that Micciche is one of the many great youth coaches that isn't a great senior manager. Let's not get too carried away. We've sacked an unpopular manager and employed a popular youth manager with good potential and we are all excited at the talk of a return to the MK way. But talk is cheap. Neilson talked about promotion this season FFS. Just because we like what Micciche
aims to do, it doesn't mean he's going to be
able to do it. I sincerely hope he does, but I do think people are just taking for granted that he's going to be the next Robbo when he might turn out to be one of the many coaches / assistants who can't cut it as a manager. I'm not predicting that. It could go either way and I like the choice of Millen as assistant. But I do think many seem to be taking for granted that a big gamble will certainly pay off and that relegation would lead to a great promotion season next year. I think we should be very careful and not so presumptuous. We're at the start of another big gamble that could go very well or very badly.
Cannot argue with this. We are all feeling optimistic now, but I did feel the tenor yesterday was perhaps "too" optimistic and over the top - we have not got Mourinho or anything
I said yesterday that I was a bit underwhelmed when I first heard, as was hoping for an experienced and proven man, but as the day went on I warmed a lot to the new management team. But let us not kid ourselves....it is still a gamble...hope it works out, but the last thing we need is to get relegated.
