You can not help loving this man Ollie,

His talks are never going to be boring he wont fend off difficult questions and he will never tell reporters to FxxK OFF.
He says he in the best place in his life because he feels wanted by the chairman and loved by the fans and has been welcomed so much by everybody.

He obviously loves his wife Kim very much, so we love her too for coming to live in the area and lending us her husband.

I am sure when he's  had this window and the summer to recruit who he wants we will be a force to be reckoned with. I see a lot of the Mcmenemy feeling coming on where the crowds shot up from 4,000 to 11500 and fantastic away following wherever we go, To take over 1200 to London in January is brilliant and a sign of things to come,

I always feel optimistic when a new manager comes in and most of the time that fades away BUT I am sure Ollie will not disappoint us, we are going on a great journey so lets enjoy the ride, We will have some downs but Ollie will be honest and take the blame if the mistake is his unlike a lot of previous managers and he will not stand for any player not giving 100% all of the time, He makes jokes all the time but underneath is a very hard task master so I am sure he will get the best out of all his players or else they will be gone.

Next home game against Exeter will be very interesting for a few reasons they will want to avenge that defeat
we gave them when they were top of the league it will tell us and Ollie how good we are and the attendance will say a lot  5000 should be the most we would have got without the Ollie effect so I am thinking 6,000 - 6,500 will show Ollie he has woken the sleeping many and soon it will be hard to get a ticket to a home game.

Onward and upward with Ollie's army

Have we got that many home seats mate? Wouldn’t think Exeter will bring that many.
But I do agree with the sentiment of your post.

He took the blame for the draw against Orient.  You have to respect that.

Certainly agree with all your comments about how Ollies appointment will benefit town in so many ways. I would dispute the prospect of an 11,500 gate at BP though because as far as I can tell the official capacity is 9,106 but that was a figure quoted in2006/7 season. I can see possible sell outs for the home fans though especially if we can put a few results together and get amongst the play-off positions. A tall order maybe but with Ollie in charge nothing would surprise me.

Funny how when Hurst brought on a defensive sub and we conceded he got slaughtered
Ollie does it and it's "ah well, never mind, fair play for him taking responsibility!!!"

The love in is strong - love is blind!

I was saying our gates went from 4000 to 11500 under big Mac but when we get our new   ground

The same, I follow American Football and my team has had a new coach this season, he's been doing the same holds his hands up when he gets it wrong and he's won the fans over double as a result. It just shows charracter doesn't it.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara
