Not many managers get practically sod all to spend and have to sell any half decent player we did have! How many 'half decent players' did he have to sell? During his time he has actually spent more than the going rate for a club in our league, so that's not really fair to say. OK he had no money this term, but that is perhaps because the board backed him before and it got us nowhere. |

I seriously cannot understand why you are being so negative about this - OK he's new to the job, but every manager has to be at some point.
You moan about the KOB, but you're a founder member of the OOB, without even seeing us kick a ball under his stewardship - you're even suggesting you won't give him a chance by turning up to support him.
In my book this is very bad form mate.
I probably will go .. it was a knee jerk reaction .. I just think the board are trying to take the heat away from themselves by appointing someone new .. Ill give him a chance I just want someone with more ambition to take over - and I dont mean as manager but as OWNER! To the Board - If you want a good manager at no expense appoint the guy that led Highworth to the Hellenic League title with no resources - John Fisher!! He would be cheap thas for sure! But if you want a new direction take a chance and try and get Sir Clive down here! Think of the media attention!! Think of the extra interest!! THINK! |

I'm most interested to see how our current squad do under a new man in charge.
I feel sorry for Andy King. But what can you do.

Think of the cost!!!!
As for an ambitious owner I'm afraid it's not just a case of the board waking up one day and thinking - ooh lets sell our club to one of the multiple possible inverstors we have been hiding away for all these years.

Unable to vote, because there is no choice for " just accept and support ".

I am not happy that king has gone if I'm honest but I will support Iffy because I think he could do well for us.

Fatbury,you have to be realistic mate.We ain't got any money,so the chances of a glamorous outside appointment are slim.Maybe someone with a history with us ,like shaun taylor would be in with a chance,personally i wouldn't have a problem with him coming in.But i think iffy could do a job as well.

I was a small, fat child in a welfare house
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just
Handed it to me - whoopee

He'd certainly do better than other suggestions he has made like Trollope (I know he's your mate fatbury, but come on) and Steve White. |
