    He talks a good story and fills me with much more confidence than Luzon did in his first interview, but we know that the biggest issue we have is NOT the manager. I'm sure the new coaching team will give it their all, but is that going to fill the cracks of a thin squad with limited quality?

    good interview. I hope it bodes well and of course he has my full support and look we aren't going to change much of what is happening at present so fight only the battles you can win and accept defeat in the ones you know you cant; it wont be the result i shall look to on sat ; it will be the performance.

    .....for a manager from division three in Belgium.

    He mentioned that he was at the club LAST week, a bit of backstabbing going on here methinks.

    He then comes out with that he reckons he has seen ALL our games since he went back to Belgium in May 2014, load of s***.

    Seems a lot of effort for a guy who knows he's only temporarily in the job.....until Wilmotts shows up in 6-months lols

    He speaks so well and is able to be knowledgeable about us, the Championship, our opponents and the players etc.... I wonder why they did not just do a press conference in front of the media?

    I have just come in from the Trust AGM and watched that. I wondered the same thing, what would've been so bad about letting the general media in on a normal press day? He could easily say that he can't comment on recent events having only just arrived, he seems smart enough to be able to avoid the awkward stuff, especially in his first week.

    The only other explanation might be with practicalities, like he wouldn't be available when the media turn up or some such thing. I can't see the need for any Ministry of Propaganda stuff.

    The contrived nature of the interview is summed up by the calling of the Wednesday game massive, with a grin to those of camera

    Couldn't watch more than two mins, so contrived it made my skin crawl.

    From comments on this thread, it just goes to show, even having been through this with Peeters and Luzon THIS YEAE(!), fans still fall for this bollox. They WANT to believe/forgive because of the emotional investment/their own history.

    This is why Roland can do exactly what he wants for however long he wants.

    100%. Some no-mark can speak English and suddenly everything is fine again.

    We need to toughen up! Is that even possible in today's game and still retain 11 men on the pitch? Maybe he means we need to be better organised, because I can guarantee it will take no more than two slightly mistimed "tough" tackles by the same player and it will be game over again.

    Haven't bothered to read or watch this. What's the point.

    I couldn't be a football manager but I could go out there and spurt out the same crap that these guys do yet not have a clue how to put the process into action.

    Results may have a chance of improving the situation but I emphasise the word may. I really think so many fans have just had enough of the way the club is managed.

    He can speak cling-on for all I care, let's see how he gets the players playing.

    I think I heard him talking about red wine.

    Not sure what the pub landlord would think of that, but think I can guess.

    Thinking outside the box of wine? Should help with the smiles though.

    Him and Roland would meet up and watch the stream from under a blanket together.

    Why is he talking about Sheff Wed?

    We must have interviewed all the candidates and appointed one by then. In fact I am expecting to see the appointed one sitting in the stands watching tomorrow.

    Has no one told the kid he is only the interim? They only let managers do press conferences son!

    Is Edward Scissorhands the new video editor? You can't cutaway to the same person from a slightly different angle. Maybe if you go black and white, or frame in the other camera.

    Can we confirm, that he just did some coaching there and was not the manager ?
    I thought his main job was scouting for CAFC ?

    Presumably it will happen today, now Fraeye is so firmly embedded.

    Fraeye: Cousins will not feature on Saturday, Gudmundsson is a major doubt. #cafc

    So that's why Jason Euell is now involved - it will basically be the U21 team on Saturday!

    We have little to lose now, Lookman to start hopefully.
