The fact that the guy saved the side from relegation and then achieved mid table finishes along with two play off finals on literally next to no money could only be considered a minor “achievement” ( I’m guessing the quotes suggest you think hasn’t achieved anything) by meanest follower of the game. He’s done a hell of a job.

Also, who is anyone on here to turn their nose up at flynn when their last few managers have been mccarthy, harris, warnock, trollope and slade ... you haven’t exactly been treated to the cream of the crop of football management (nor playing styles) for the last seven or eight seasons. You are used to watching pig-shite foootball as it is.

I’d pefer Flynn just on the basis that he isn’t a dinosaur or a journeyman.
I think you're being incredibly disingenuous to our previous managers. Save from Trollope, one steadied a sinking ship, taking us to a place just outside the play-offs, one gave the club back it's self-belief and unexpectedly got us promoted, one got us into the play-offs and the other reversed a season in an instant when danger was looming and nearly got us into play-off contention. The cream of the crop of football management is almost exclusively to be found in the Premier League so let's not expect a marquee managerial signing just yet.

While Mike Flynn's record at Newport is admirable, it's hardly jaw-dropping enough to warrant chairman across the country licking their lips in anticipation of him becoming a free agent in the near future.
