📝 New Manager [Luke Williams Appointed]

[Magpies1959]

Typical not so sly dig by BFP. There has obviously been a lot said behind the scenes at the club, and necessarily so, as this could have been very damaging.
I do not boo any sporting team I follow, and think the way to react when your team is not performing as you desire, is to show encouragement, as in 'support'.
Hopefully LW's words will not make fans think they can boo more frequently and get an immediate reaction every time. Let's hope we never hear any more boos, home or away this season.
Good to hear LW back to his straight talking self again.

The fans that boo are welcome!

I don't usually pay much attention to these interviews because I see them as little more than a media obligation, but that was close to the best I've ever heard. If I had given my thoughts on why some fans booed, what Luke Williams said expressed it much better. I remained silent rather than joining in with the boos, but I understood those who did boo. Basically it's because they care. There might even be a message for this board in that interview, in that negative reactions often come from the heart.

It reminds me of my attitude, albeit at a much lower level in footy matches and league squash. I would be more inspired by being told "you're sh!t" than I would be by "well played".

A very different response to Burchnall after the Dover game.

That is where we are all different EP. I would not expect to hear 'well played' if I knew I maybe could have done better, but words of encouragement would give me the kick up the back side I might need. Somebody heckling or booing would have a totally negative affect on me.

If anyone thinks that LW does not know this club or it's supporters and is not in touch with them then they should listen to this. It is an excellent interview. He obviously gets it and I'd like to think it will have a positive effect in building the relationship between supporters, manager, players and supporters and supporters and club.

This also seems like a LW honest and straight talking interview and this is what I would much prefer to hear him telling it how he sees it. The interview after the Gateshead game just didn't seem right.

Agreed. But as you say, we are all different.

Exactly the opposite for me, it would inspire me to ram the taunts back down their throats.

As you say we're all different, but I thrived in a hostile atmosphere.

He talks Bullhooks

LW is the best interviewee of the 3 managers we've had in the NL. His response to the social media silliness was spot on

The main thing I pick up from LW is just how much he's into this - the commitment stands out, and this can only rub off on the players.

I liked the majority of the interview but the bit I take issue with is that he thought the lads had played well first half and he was happy with them?
I don't think many Notts fans (whether they booed or not) felt the same at the interval.
