Happy because he has SkySports in his office!

Oh it’s the simple things in life

Makes a change to have a manager with a sense of humour.

Great interview. Talk about polar opposites! Kingy and Dowse are a million miles apart when it comes to club ethos. Personally, I thought King did a decent job and the only problem I had with him was the lack of continuity on the pitch, but there's no denying he divided opinion and his style didn't fit with a great many people's idea of how our club should be run. Let's be honest, his dismissal had absolutely nothing to do with football and was entirely down to his philosophy being incompatible with the club's. But whatever side of the divide you are on, there's no doubting that there is a divide. Dowse's first job is to bring the club back together.
He would appear to be doing that already and his determination to engage with the community plus his impressive track record suggest he will appeal to everyone. He would seem to be a perfect fit for our club and I am very excited about what's to come.

An excellent first interview from Dowse and he is making it very clear as to his aspirations about bringing everybody in the club pursuing the same aims together.

He may be starting the season later, but as he says, he will be putting in the extra hours to catch up, because that is what is needed. I'm quite sure he will have a decent squad together by the time the season opens.

Excellent post from you Spike!! Sums it all up tidily.

Great interview and could have listened to him speaking about his plans for the club etc for a lot longer!

Breath of fresh air!
Dowse obviously wants to be a big part of the club not just the team.
Genuine guy and very positive .
I like his attitude and he is obviously approachable.
Roll on the new season.

I wasn't carried away when it was announced That Dowse had the job, but looking at the interview I thought he had a great attitude and a great sense of humour. I hope that everything goes well for him and us next season. It'll be interesting.
I was one of the King 'likers' but I did feel he lost his way when it mattered last season.
Welcome to our club Alan. You'll have my support.

Met A D today when getting my new season ticket.
Like what he had to say and what he wants to do at PP.
Top man, want to wish him and the team a good season.

Kentoline interview with Dowse:-

Very good interview!

I had a chat with our new manager (Mr Dowson)this morning in the car park before going to the golf course at PP.
He was very positive and I was impressed by his enthusiasm .
Time will tell but I think that we are in good hands.

Fingers crossed your right Barry.

I just hope that he starts mentioning some signings very soon, either players re-signing or new players joining.

We’ve only got 1 1/2 weeks to go before our first pre season friendly against Charlton and we’ve currently only got 7 players signed that we know of.

I’m not panicking just getting very eager to hear of what players we have.
