...and so it begins.

The lunatics are out in force already.

Sean Dyche or John McGinlay my favourites so far

Hope he doesn't get his todger out for Amy like the last one

If he gets us up, he can lob it out in the centre circle and do a lap of honour for me.

I don't share the view above, that it is entirely a free hit.

Now that he's here, and Jules has helped to get us within striking distance of the play offs, I think I'd be disappointed if we didn't make them.

Winning them- well that's a lottery of course.

Welcome Mr Schumacher, even if you did play for Bury.

Had a feeling he's been waiting in the wings since before Xmas, as he was not considered by other teams. The club couldn't really act until it became a no brainer with the situation we ended up in. Great appointment. Now let's get promoted!

If that was the case, it seems even more foolish not to have sacked IE earlier. 

 

I like him already 

A really nice, and important touch to make sure JD etc go with them on Saturday. 

He comes across as really enthusiastic and pleased to be here my enthusiasm is back

Good interview that. 
 

Roll on Saturday.

Aye.

Wouldn't like to cross him- reckon there's a touch bedevilment behind those eyes, which ties in with his aggressive, attacking "philosophy".

That's what I was thinking. One of the best things to come out of this last week or so is Julian having that experience. He had a rough time with the fans at the end of Phil Neal's reign and although he scored some crucial goals under Bruce and its all a long time ago I am sure there were some faint bruises from that time. The warmth he's been shown and deserved this week will hopefully have dealt with all that and he knows he'll forever be well thought of in his home town. Good lad Julian. It's been a pleasure to see you smiling and enjoying living the dream.

I am sure he'll be on hand for quiet bits of BWFC wisdom and knowledge with Mr S and the new staff.

No doubt about the latter.

Given the performance of his u18s this season, then hopefully we will see on or two on the fringes of the first team in the not too distant future.

Good luck to him. If he brings success to BWFC that'll do for me, even if he's a scouser.....

Yes pleased with that and liked how he came across in the club interview. The way he wants to play sounds right up our street and he couldn't stop smiling all the way through the interview.

You have just completely made that up

I don't like it when we appoint managers younger than me

Did he say "go 'ead" though ?

End of thread now?

Great interview and buzzing for the rest of the season now. If we can pick up three points Saturday and maybe a couple cheeky incomings everyone will be shitting their knickers that we’re coming for them!

Is Schumacher the 1st Head Coach of Bolton Wanderers ?

This could be the dawn of a new era.

Brilliant interview 

Good interview. And nice to hear him give respect to Julian, Andy and Ian Evatt. 

Nice touch to have Jules there on Saturday! Can't wait to get going now! 

Come on white! 😁

Great, no nonsense interview, not trying to be clever, no chip on shoulder, no arrogance. Apart from the accent what’s not to like?

oh, and love the way he wants us to play, high energy, fast, attacking football.. that will do nicely, thank you! 🙏

No, Evatt was a head coach initially
