He can do that whistling with the fingers thing that all good coaches (and shepherds) can do. I'm a rubbish coach and shepherd.

Pretty sure you can make out a Man Utd top under his town one and he's mouthing the words "I was at a big club" as well I think.

I’d say it’s a massive step up for him . He wants to get it right , he’s got no managerial experience so very much a steep learning curve for him . Not sure Id be doing the Cheshire cat bit, until a month in the job and I was finding my feet .

Interestingly enough, over the last decade the managers with the most 'personality'(Keane and Lambert) to them are also arguably are our two worst managers ever.

I think he does have a joke at one point in the video, but I prefer his steely determination. He has to get the respect of the players, and I am not convinced the bonhomie of Cook did us much good. In any event, how often did Alex Ferguson smile?

Good.
I think it was Mick Mills who mentioned a year or two ago he was sick of hearing about whether players were enjoying training or not.
They're not there to enjoy themselves - it's a place of work and their sole focus should be on doing whatever it takes to start winning football matches.

Never realised he played at Carroll.

And, to be fair, I am not sure what to make of either KVY nor Carroll. KVY looked a far better player when he first joined us than he has more recently and Carroll looks a shadow of the player he used to be. It will be up to McKenna to judge them on who they are now, not what they once were. I am sure he will realise that too. None of these players will be in (or out) of the team on reputation alone.

Oh yes, I remember now. There was a donkey on the pitch too if I recall correctly.

Loved watching the training video - the amount of impact he's having, constantly communicating with the players, telling them what he expects. It does feel different to Cook's training videos, I have to admit.
