The same could be said about John Gorman! |

While Williams may be a good coach, he is not a manager and that is what we need

I think a fan run club would be a disaster. Imagine if our fans had their way! We'd have used up all our subs by half time and our game plan would be FORWARRDDDDDDDD.
That's not how Trust-run clubs operate, it's not like everyone votes on every decision in the running of the club. But then I think you know that already don't you? |

A good thing relative to past years, is that the Trust does seem to have some bright people involved
Oh, fucking cheers  |

Just heard a rumour of local businessmen Jez Webb (webbs timber) and current supermarine chairman & James Phipps (Excalibur) interested in a takeover at SN1.

Are they fans of, fucking around with the ball in midfield until it reaches the goalie? Or real entertaining football? |

Exactly....it was worth a punt, but I think we've seen enough now to know it isn't working. |

Talk of change of ownership has elements of knee-jerking but our on-the-field plight, however, is not.

Yes, that part of my post was tongue in cheek. I still think it'd be a disaster, and the people moaning about Power now will be complaining just as much with a fan run board. Unless the fan run board contains 2 billionaires willing to bankroll us to the Premier League. |

But any manager will have to work under constraints that the current custodian does and with the current crop of players at his disposal. A very tough task. |

4 wins in 20 is not knee-jerk by any stretch of the imagination. I've tried to look for reasons that might explain it but have failed to convince even myself.
I hope Luke makes it click, I really do, but his record so far does not give me much confidence. What's more important is what Power thinks about it and hearing him speak yesterday, even before the defeat, I think he was getting more than a little frustrated.

Erm, we worked with the local council and Justin was very helpful in that, which we acknowledged, and rightly so. We also worked closely with Anne Snelgrove, one of the local MPs at the time, and Rod Bluh, council leader at the time. We didn't use any of them as figure heads. I think your Tory-phobia is selectively effecting your memory. |

My memory is of a cringeworthy meeting, whereby JT was introduced as someone who the Trust Board wished to rubber stamp into a role of El Presidente, or Chairman or something. Still a long time ago now, but it was fairly obvious that JT just saw STFC as a vehicle for his lifetime ambition of being publicly humiliated in the House of Commons.
