Welcome, Jon.

Let's get to it and get this squad assembled!

[HowieFive0]

Welcome ..and good luck Jon ..COYB!

[Oldgregg86]

Happy days. When does the transfer window open and the fixture list come out 😂

[Gavlar Somerset Rover!]

Great to finally get this over the line (work permit pending). Just a shame that the club have kept on Lowe and Benson. Hopefully Broughton and JDT will see enough of them over the coming weeks and their cards will be marked.

Now let’s get some players in!

lets get paid fellow gamblers 😎

[Darwen Rover 007]

Welcome im very excited now, liking what I'm hearing! 

[davulsukur]

Welcome JDT. 

Don't forget, you've gotta do the double over The Dingles this season.

No pressure 🤗

[RevidgeBlue]

Promising appointment in theory. Hope he does well.

Not sure how "a culture of giving everything to the Club" ties in with keeping on Lowe/Benson etc but hopefully the new performance director will see them off in short order.

They're certainly all talking a great game and singing off the same hymn sheet at this stage. Let's see if the reality matches the spiel!

Looking forward to the presser. This transfer market should be an interesting one, really want to see some knowledge of the Scandinavian leagues being utilised.

Still waiting for an 11th hour bait and switch and Mowbray rocks up to take the first training session

is that likely to be today?

[Ossydave]

A name I don't think anyone even suggested (apart from me obviously 🙃) but I'm happy.

A bit of a journey into the unknown but it's got the potential to be an exciting season - MUCH better than appointing a washed up old manager just for their experience.

Bring on the new season🇩🇰

Ben Rosen has a decent CV.

Transfer window opened on June 10th but most deals won't go through until July 1st.

Fixture list - Thursday June 23rd.

It's time to assemble the players! Finally we got it done, hope the paperwork will be sorted!

Let's show intent by making Christian Eriksen our first signing!

[RV Blue]

A 3 year contract for a new manager seems ridiculous at our level.

[Tugay-is-God]

Cautiously optimistic, certainly better than since of the other names I feared we'd resort to, Ferguson, Carrick, Woodgate, etc.

I was thinking Gareth Bale. If Cardiff can go in for him. ......

Well we certainly know for good or bad he’ll be here (if he wants to be) for three years minimum!

[Mike E]

I'm glad 'performance director' has a fitness focus. Hopefully see some changes to the seeming conveyor belt of minor muscle injuries.

[davulsukur]

I see Lowe has managed to cling on. 

As he's mentioned in the article, I doubt he'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

[Mattyblue]

Yep, it’s all very strange, but be interesting to see if JDL can quietly move them on once he has his feet under the table…

Not really, if he's sensational and gets poached we'll get compensation and the converse if he bombs.

Mowbray imo did a poor job and lasted five years though so based on that the odds are JDT will be here 3 years if he does an OK job unless the owners get a lot more ruthless.

Welcome and good luck on this new adventure JDT, BR, GB. Looking forward to seeing you build the team.
All we need to do now is get rid of the dross and hangers on .... You know who you are ... Maggott, Lowe, Benson!
