I have two concerns:
1) he said “listen” like Bignot, and 2) he said “in the building” like Fenty.
Other than that, exciting times!

Thought Phillip Day came across very well indeed as in fact he did at the fans forum the other week, the only one who came out of it with some respect in tact.
He should front absolutely everything the club puts out instead of Fenty and if ever Fenty goes I hope the new owners can find a place for him in the boardroom
Breath of fresh air and a nice surprise seeing him doing that today

100% agreed was a fresh approach all round rather than the usual Fenty show 👍

I've had the pleasure of speaking to PD on a couple of train journeys back to London after away games in the Conference days and he is a very honest, affable man. He is able to explain both sides of a story and I know is sympathetic to a lot of the agenda spoken of around youth development, fan engagement and safe standing.

I wasn't particularly after anything. It was all a bit perfunctory and the fact that it was left to Mr Day, with not much fanfare suggests the club are actually keeping a low profile on this one, after all the promises of the last two managers came to nought. We were even told 2 days before who the manager would be that they were introducing. I think Mr Day should have just kept to the brief and not mentioned League 1 and the Championship. That's the bit that riled me. All the talk that comes to nothing, like being top 7 this season. Getting rid of all the best players in the arrogant notion that we would just sail along to seasons end with no problems is the reality of the situation. Stop talking about what we are going to do and actually sort out the main thing, which is staying in the division.
Sorry if all that sounds cynical and defeatist, but that's the way i feel after years and years of poor decisions, with myriad managers and players coming and going. The one constant in all this is still there.
No totally understand and don't disagree with any of your comments but did have to check on 'perfunctory'. Championship statement was stupid given the situation were in but there again there have been many bullet holes in the foot of Grimsby Town one should never be surprised of another. Can't blame anyone for being cynical and defeatist after watching what we are. One can only Hope!

If Philip Day thinks it's feasible to have a five year aim to be in the Championship, I'd like him to outline what fundamental changes are going to happen in the near future at Blundell Park to make it more than a lip service fantasy. Even if MJ is successful here, he will need a lot more ammo and bullets than the board are currently handing out to achieve that target..
