Lets hope he's the Peter Taylor to Mark Bonner's Brian Clough.

Didn’t he manage Crawley for a while? Won’t hold that against him though!

On paper that looks a very good appointment.

Thought he had a bloody strange haircut until I worked out that it was part of the sign at the back of the stand.

Pretty young, 45 so obviously it’s a fresh new ideas approach rather than an old experienced l, great book of contacts type that was Waddock. Wonder if he and Bonner met at St George’s whilst Betsy was various England kids manager/coach.

Don't know much about him but certainly worked his way up to this point and seems like a good fit for the ethos of the club. I'd imagine he'll have a decent book of contacts for the young, hungry types we look for in the loan market, or the ones who might've slipped through the cracks

Kevins to Betsy that is a very interesting and I think really encouraging appointment. Made a couple of moves that haven't worked out for him, but he's very highly regarded as a coach. I'd hope his links with Arsenal and England could also nab us a high-quality youngster or two too.
Very happy with that. Fits what we're trying to do down to a tee.

Eberechi Eze spoke very highly of him the other day actually.
Pretty pleased with this. Seems like a lovely guy and very well qualified from the short Google dive I just did.

Remember him playing against us a few times for Woking. And as others have said, have read about him a few times as a highly regarded coach.
Reading between the lines then, what Mark wanted different from what Waddock offered was someone that can coach some of the prettier, more technical bits?
Then that can be an add on to his stellar man management and organisation?
Betsy says the way we play wont suddenly flop but seems like we might be trying to add a bit more of the ‘playing through the lines’ element to things when we need it.
Wonder if that’s part of the reason for not wanting too many pre season games in front of a crowd?
Betsy could help us with a few good young loanees given his connections…

From the first interview he has worked closely with Arteta at Arsenal so maybe he can help tempt them to loan us a few of their good younger players
