That's glorious, great work.

Good luck.
Am I the only one who has low expectations of success, many of you seem pretty optimistic, I'm not feeling it at all, my instant reaction was a deep sigh.

As expected, left field appointment. He does look like he’ll have more fire in his belly than Burchnall and this was always one of Ian’s weaknesses imo.
We’ll only know this time next year whether the appointment has worked. Gamble? I think all appointments are. The obvious front runner was Williamson at Gateshead for me, but when have we ever done the obvious?

Squad wise, I can see a few arriving over the next few weeks now. Roll on the new season.

“Luke’s Williams Black and White Army.”

One thing LW seemingly has in common with IB - and I just assume it’s a modern coaching thing, and something the Reedtz want: talking about “controlling” the game. I hope this means going out with the aim of battering teams, not boring them into submission, but suspect it might be the latter.

I see a few Swindon fans tweeting that he only had a plan A (ball retention), so hope he’s now more intent on playing on the front foot and in the opposing half.

Anyway, good luck, Luke, here’s to a successful career at Meadow Lane.

Surely the best approach to avoid disappointment and/or mini-meltdowns.

He's a complete unknown to me so until I hear him speak and better still see his side in competitive action after a full preseason I won't pass judgement , smile nor sigh. Just wish him well and look forward to seeing who we bring in.

Press conference on YouTube with the Reedtz now.

Why the hell did you have to go and post that lol.

In fairness the bookies had no idea.

They were guessing and I suspect 90% on that list were names mentioned by our fans on social media.

The Danish guy was a massive troll and made them look stupid

I do hope they let Kim Engstrom down gently when they broke the news.

Touch of the Pep's there it sounds - let's hope so.

As he says - it's not broken so he's starting from a good place.

Fingers and toes crossed.

Yeah I agree sounds promising. We get alot of comments like we're trying to play like Man City and maybe on the ball we are but Pep has always had a nasty side in his midfield plus was abit of a cheeky bugger himself in his playing days so abit more of that please.
