Absolutely loved it and isn’t it great to hear ‘for sure’ repeated on a loop. This could be an appointment made in the nick of time to get the prize we are after. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtopia 573 Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Genuinely excited for the new era, and hopefully he can craft something positive from the season. I like the promise to work hard, and clarity that leads to success line. I wonder who in the squad is a little nervous, I suspect Kenny, and Sargent were fist pumping, there will be a few I suspect aren’t perhaps so excited.

Wagner is far more a fit, knows how to work in a club our size, works well with youth, understands the loan system and has history working with Webber. Lots more to be positive about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Wagner is a very good appointment at this time, give him a chance, promotion might just accelerate the takeover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 2,062 Posted January 6, 2023 Impressed with his interview. Feels like the Smith book has truly been closed now and we can move forward. Looking forward to seeing what Wagner brings to the table but I'm feeling fairly positive about the outlook now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted January 6, 2023 How very likeable. He'll win the players over and get confidence back, imo. Good football with a sound tactical conviction and all-round good football knowledge. I wasn't sure about him and would have preferred Robins or Dyche. Happy now though and think we'll make top six.

danielsroundabout 9 Posted January 6, 2023 I felt the parting of the ways with Dean Smith became a no-brainer and that the David Wagner appointment appears to be as good as we could hope for. My concerns looking ahead are not borne out of Wagner's ability but out of the task he has taken on. Bundesliga follower Dan O'Hagan defends Wagner's time at Schalke with the following words: " "It was a difficult time. The club was in flux off the field as well as on it. There was no money to bring in new players, the players that were brought in weren't really up to standard in the Bundesliga. Finances had all but dried up, it was a team in no way equipped to be competitive in that league". Reading that, I guess Wagner will feel he has landed on familiar territory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn’t work out with Smith, so that’s all water under the bridge. Wagner does feel a good fit, so hopefully it’ll be the start of something good. To suggest not backing is incorrect, as I pointed out I want success so of course I wanted smith to do well but doesn’t mean I thought his appointment was right for the club at that point! As it happened my concerns about Smith were correct! Wagner fits the tight run club better, his interview in one feels far more in line with what the club and fans want, proof will be in the performances but it feels good and hopefully the players and fans can react positive.
