Was a nice surprise scrolling through the app this morning to see the badges and McKenna front and centre. Good interview too, he's definitely a football obsessive! Thought the point about not seeking fame was interesting, hopefully means he'll stick around longer with us!

I try to ignore league one tit for tat stuff now as it's boring but have to say I've really gone off Plymouth since the season's ended. Can't see a tweet, article etc. about anybody or anything else without their fans chiming demanding they get some attention.

Genuinely not sure I've ever seen such a needy desperate fanbase online as theirs. Very small time behaviour.


I can kind of see their point, they won the league with over 100 points. I'd like to know a bit more about Schumacher but I guess they don't have a well respected football journalist working on a national newspaper among their fan base.

Schumacher's different in that he had a relatively long playing career but has stepped up from an assistant role and flourished. There's probably an interesting interview in there.

I think we did get a bit more agricultural, or direct, during our fantastic end to the season.

In other words, we mixed it up a bit more, and it seems to me that this was something that McKenna instigated, having seen Plan A Pure get a bit bogged down.

In effect, we ended up with Plan A+, which involved long balls on occasions and playing it more through the middle, but the new players undoubtedly helped in making it successful.

Yes, agree, should have mentioned it as a tribute to his analytical skills and preparedness to be open-minded, that he was able to tweak Plan A when that proved necessary.

He and they have been profiled by large national media outlets during and after the season. They ignore this and also don't realise that getting promoted from league one (whatever the points total or budget you do it on) is never going to gather much national interest.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.
