As for the moaners. Well what did you actually expect? I'm not sure if you are aware or not but the club hasn't got a pot to piss in. Like Royalgull says, he's local, he's cheap and he's got potential. It was only ever going to be him IMO. My concern is that why come out and brag about having 129 applicants when it could be argued that they already had made up their minds? (IMO). If this is the case then it's the same spin and games that we saw under previous regimes. Just my opinion and i'm probably total wrong but it's just a bit odd that's all. But overall a common sense if risky appointment. I also agree with DJ Gull. Mr Breed should just come out and tell all the moaners and critics to piss off and go and play with theirselves. These people have a club to support because of Mr Breed and others and they should f**king well remember that. Idiots.

As for those criticising Mr Breed. You've just embarrassed yourself more than Mr Breed and his spelling errors. Who actually gives a sh*t if he can spell? So long as he can be honest with the fans, communicate and engage with them on a regular basis, run a football club to be solvent and competitive going forward and treat fans with respect, consideration and courtesy then what else matters? He doesn't even have to wear a suit. He can wear a bloody onesie for me so long as he can fulfil the above criteria!! It's about the person inside and their ability, not how many GCSE's they have.

I'm pleased for Kevin as I liked him very much as a player and so long as he has no hidden ego like useless suited and booted CH then he'll have a chance. No disrespect but there are 4 sides in the division a lot worse than TUFC and it would be harder to actually get relegated then stay up regardless of experience or not. At some point the players have to step up too and take some responsibility. If they do and KN gets the basics right then no problems at all.

I think it's a common sense and positive appointment when you consider everything collectively. If the club goes down then it will probably have done so regardless of WHO the manager was.

At least the replacement is early on in the season and there is plenty of time to get things straightened out and organised.

Best of luck Kev and you now have the perfect opportunity to cement yourself in TUFC folklore once and for all, a chance that your predecessor threw away. Take it man.

Not having a go at you here. But as I've said elsewhere I'm a more highly qualified coach than Sir Alex Ferguson, I'm not fit to tie his shoe laces, Paul Buckle had 5 years of management experience and the UFEA PRO badge, Bristol Rovers, Luton Town and Cheltenham, I rest my case, all managers have to start somewhere, lets give him a chance, which I know you/we all, will.
