Micky has already shown he is flexible and will change things match to match if he sees fit, rather than sticking rigidly to the same formation and tactics like the Championship Manager. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It might not actually count for all that much, but its almost weird listening to a manager's post-match interview and being happy with what he's saying. He just seems to say the right things - that might change of course, but for now it's refreshing. Got to say, when his name was first floated, I was all Micky who? No thanks. But the board just might have got this spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the board just might have got this spot on. You'll likely all take this the wrong way, but hes reminding me of Tommy Wright the more I see of him, and I'm meaning that as a compliment. Doesn't seem embarrassed to admit he doesn't have a "philosophy", but will demand maximum effort every time, and is more than happy to jump from set up to set up, and drop players if they dont work, regardless of their profile. No bragging or self promotion in his interviews either. I think he'll be a success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bragging or self promotion in his interviews either. I think he'll be a success. I don’t think you’d find many United fans put down by the Wright comparison, it definitely is a compliment. Most of us have been craving that kind of management style. Maximum effort, a strong and combative style of football plus a manager who is honest and trustworthy is what we all want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a strange analogy. If at the end of these three games I get awarded 7 A grades I will be delighted. If we get 4 points I will be even more delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bragging or self promotion in his interviews either. I think he'll be a success. I know what you mean. It's been so long since we had a manager with a flexible approach rather than a "philosophy". He speaks so well too. I am absolutely delighted with him so far. I think Ann Budge did us a huge favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Alot of managers at this level with a "philosophy" are managers that struggle after a while as they end up having to replace players like for like every season which catches up with them. Or jam players unsuited to the formation in because they've no idea how to use a different system. Usually the excuse is "they try to play the right way no matter what the opposition is" but that translates to "I have no idea how to change things when needed". Robbie was an absolute philosophy of a manager and Budge definitely did us a huge favour. I still can't believe we got £200k for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
