He's in a difficult position, he's got to come in quite friendly and mild at first due to the fact he's been pelted with questions from the media about being a part time manager/will he be able to step upto full-time /does he know what it'll be like to manage a team like Notts etc etc. Felt sorry for the guy. As ajojones says, he knows it won't take much for that to come out in the fanbase (that he can't handle it or it's too big for him) and he's got to tred carefully until it feels like his team and he's the proper manager. It's not easy following a loved and successful manager, man utd still are finding that out 11 years later.

Give the guy a break, he'll come into his own in interviews once he's settled.
