Thankfully Frankie McAvoy has his fingers crossed......

[Dubai Mark]

So, very pleased to see that our new Assistant Manager replacing MIke Phelan has his fingers crossed that things will work out, that's a relief.......
 
“I don’t think I’ve been away from my family for more than a few days so that along with how long I’d been at Accies was a big wrench.
 
“However, in footballing terms I’m going to another world so I’m really looking forward to it, it’s something I have to try and fingers crossed it works out, but time will tell.”
 
Lets all wish him all the best and hope he doesnt get home sick......we need this to work!

So he's pretty much admitting that he's well out of his depth but he's going to take a punt and hope that he gets lucky. Great.

I've woken up feeling a bit pessimistic today. 

 

[Suffolk Canary]

This guy sounds amazed that he and Alex Neil have somehow got the job at Norwich.  

My faith in this management is declining rapidly.  I'm really hoping Saturday will turn things around, but this whole thing just reeks of guys who have got lucky and ended up at a big club

 

[Din]

Bit of an odd thing to say really. Hardly installs all us Norwich fans with much confidence. I wouldn't read too much into it though to be honest. It's just a turn of phrase after all. Fingers crossed though it does all work out

 

[Yellow Fever]

If I wasn't depressed before, I certainly am now. This is the man replacing Mike Phelan? Well done Mr McNally!

 

[Wiz]

Slightly concerned now, hardly Churchillian was it?

 

[hogesar]

'eh? I just saw it as refreshingly honest and you certainly can't blame him considering they're only on 1 year rolling contracts and the expectation is massive.

 

[Dubai Mark]

So hogesar I am presuming that you have every confidence that things will work out? OMG I am still looking for reassurance lol

 

[Yellow Fever]

Although there have been some positive indications about Neil, there have also been a lot of questions raised by the Cardiff and Brentford performances, the latter being a complete shambles. Birmingham is a very important match now, and another unconvicing performance will ask further questions as to why McNally convinced the Board to make these appointments.

 

[hogesar]

I wouldn't say I have every confidence Dubai - I just think these little things always get picked up and highlighted at a time the club is struggling where at any other time they wouldn't even be mentioned. I just simply dont think things like this are something to be concerned about!

 

[RhythmicTheory]

chill out.

 

[Killiecanary]

Christ....the bloke gets this before he's even STARTED the job????

Looking forward to the reaction if things go wrong when he is actually in the job!

 

[Boyerboy]

And if McAvoy had said , "I'm in my rightful place at last, just watch me turn this lot into world beaters"' he'd have rightly been castigated as arrogant and unrealistic.

Seems to me that just like poor Hughton was so often, Frankie was doomed to be criticised whatever he said.

 

[Boyerboy]

Throughout his tenure, Worthington would respond to any problem by saying "Hopefully, we will put it right next week". It did not affect confidence in his ability though that was the age before widespread social media.

I agree Frank could have expressed himself more felicitously but are we really going to jump on a new member of the club on a throw away comment?
