| O'Neil and the lack of charisma 09:50 - Jun 25 with 4309 views | FlowerofScotland | Is anyone else concerned that a poor start will see little in the way of charity from fans for this man, given his history and the way in which McKenna was always supported through thick and thin? I can imagine disquiet at boardroom level by xmas if we find ourselves rooted to the foot of the table and positivity from the fans has dwained. |  | | |  |

I think he must be Frimely's Scottish cousin as he's all over the board like a rash |  | |  |

You're spot on with that, I included the season that he left Wolves as I thought it would end in relegation. Strictly speaking, you're correct! |  | |  |

| I’m not sure that GON…. on 10:03 - Jun 25 by Bloots | ….has any less “charisma” than KM. KM was hardly an effervescent character, I suspect your view may be clouded by his success. Obviously GON doesn’t have any credit in the bank, so a poor start will inevitably lead to some fans getting on his back. Personally I’ll be comparing what he does to how KM got on during his Premier League season, it will be the only way to remain sane. Also, I’ve got no idea what “dwained” means. |
I don't know about you, but I just wish it would dwain for an hour or two to cool the temperature a little. |  | |  |

| O'Neil and the lack of charisma on 09:58 - Jun 25 by _CliveBaker_ | I wouldn't have thought there would be too much positivity from anywhere if we're 'rooted to the foot of the table', irrespective of the manager. Nor should there be. Last time out was a free hit, we overachieved by getting promoted and we were always going to be up against it to even remain semi competitive. We need a different expectation now though, we're a parachute club bouncing back to the PL. While staying up is still a big ask, its a path that has been trodden by many. We're not plucky little back to back Ipswich now, we've come up with an expensive squad by Championship standards, 18th should be a bare minimum expectation this time, but ideally a place higher. |
One year to early I agree, is there an AI where you could stay a year in the champ recruit from higher up like we did in div 1 and then compare to how we actually did going straight up. It’s not real I know but you can’t turn the clock back, but I often wonder with tech these days that you can create an alternative reality if decisions and things had turned out differently |  | |  |

| O'Neil and the lack of charisma on 10:19 - Jun 25 by FlowerofScotland | If you can't see that KM was indeed charismatic despite being quite a 'quiet' individual that really is your problem and not mine. |
He was, charismatic to some degree, but just because one person doesn't see charisma in a person, doesn't mean others don't. For one, I find it evident that GON is relishing the opportunity to take on this role, he seems motivated and full of belief. In what way is that a bad thing, given the squad are on a high from promotion, but also in shock over Kieren's departure? Have you considered that a change of character to one that exudes confidence and belief at a slightly higher level than KMcK may be the panacea needed for this season? It might just kick us on to the next level. |  |
