Luke Williams - Peterborough United Manager

[sit_down_jack]

Good move for him, doesn’t look an easy club to manage at the moment, Peterborough. Rock bottom of League One. He should do well there, wasn’t completely hopeless down here until that West Brom mess.

The mess was in place before the WBA link, he clearly pushed for that job.
My guess, he knew his job became alot tougher when the takeover to the current board got the green light.

He done a decent enough job with us up until around about October/November last year.

Good luck to him he’s a lovely guy and he was wonderful with the boys.

Always struck me as "Diet Russy" to be honest. Quick with the easy PR wins but a different side on display when challenged, and the whole WBA situation reflects very poorly on his character.

His last two non-Notts County jobs outside non-league have both ended in the sack. He'll have to show a lot more than he ever previously has as a manager to avoid making it three.

Good luck to him, things didn't work out with us, no ill feeling towards the bloke on my behalf.

When Williams seemed to have got us firing on all cylinders, I think around the time we played QPR at home, all the West Brom stuff blew up and it all turned into a complete disaster. Once his head had been turned it all went pear-shaped. I hope he succeeds, especially at the weekend. I hope he gets his team inspired enough to destroy the Bluebirds.

I wish him well, but he did not pull up trees here. Even when it was going relatively well, it was not amazing. And by the end he'd completely lost the plot.

I'm not sure about his fit for Peterborough, aren't they supposed to prefer being really attacking and open? Don't think they'll get that with him. Not based on his time here anyway.

QPR at home had nothing to do with him. It was the Quorum wot dun it guv.

I'll be interested to see how he gets on there. Don't really have any animosity towards him, it just didn't work out here. He was a shell of a man those final few months here, it's nice to see him with a smile on his face and some colour in his cheeks..

Hopefully a big new manager bounce for that 1st game in charge Saturday

And then ... Barry Fry as caretaker.

All the best with trying to impress Darragh MaxAnthony with Russy type football.

 

[IsraJack]

Not a fan of a drive down the memory lane. Didn't work out for us, all the best for him in the future. Next.

 

[Magic_Michu]

Absolutely lovely, genuine guy. All the best to him.

 

[Whaleoilbeefhooked]

As a person he’s a lovely guy. Why our so called “fans” were giving him stick, for working at Bristol airport and helping people, is anyone’s guess.
I will watch his tenure at Peterborough with interest.

Good work, Luke.
