Resigns from cambridge after 9 days. Probably remember what a total abomination to footbal they were in the early 90's! Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 12:27:46 How odd.
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: DerbyRed on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 12:28:24 I heard that Cambridge have got a chairman with a bit of a screw lose (hence sacking Brabin and Quinn before him after both just missed out on promotion in playoff finals!).
Definitely something strange going on up there! Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 12:34:17 Perhaps he's heard there might be a vacancy coming up at the CG.... ;)
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 13:06:22 That is most odd indeed, there must be a lot going on in the backgroud he didn't like. Fair play to him for having the guts to walk away though.
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 13:09:00 I think its to do with money improving the squad. Thats why the last two managers left. They wanted a bit of cash to go that extra bit further but was always denied it.
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Summerof69 on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 13:27:49 In the Non-League Paper at the weekend, the Chairman told two other people they got the job, then hours before the announcement, they received a text saying they haven't got it !!
The chairman also wants to reduce the wage bill to £500k, but they are already over that. The chairman sounds a bit dodgy to me. Title: Re: Lingy Post by: ronnie21 on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 13:41:29 The chairman sounds a bit dodgy to me. Is he greek?Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Doore on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 19:55:40 Bizarre story, makes you wonder exactly what is going on there. Makes you appreciate that, finally, we support a well-run football club.
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Saxondale on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 20:27:57 From what Im hearing the chairman is a front for the directors who are trying to run it into the ground to get a share on the sale of the ground.
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 20:52:44 It's all a bit of a mess isn't it.

Title: Re: Lingy Post by: alanmayes on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 21:04:30 Good for Lingy for having the guts to walk away.I can remember Micky Adams doing the same
thing at Swansea. Title: Re: Lingy Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 22:16:39 Bizarre story, makes you wonder exactly what is going on there. Makes you appreciate that, finally, we support a well-run football club. ...and yet still most aren't happyTitle: Re: Lingy Post by: Batch on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 22:17:31 Title: Re: Lingy Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 22:22:16 i was going to say the people who post on the adver stories/forum but i'm not 100% sure they count...
Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 23:36:42 Give the fans a chance.
We were almost relegated last year. No one could be happy about that. Title: Re: Lingy Post by: leefer on Wednesday, August 5, 2009, 00:35:00 Come on without!...Come on within.....you aint seen nothin like ol Martin Ling......you can row boats every summer,but footballs a mans game.

Title: Re: Lingy Post by: Power to people on Wednesday, August 12, 2009, 13:51:52 The Chairman has resigned though so the way was clear....apparently the Chairman wanted Liam Daish as manager
