Oooh, that's not good news. For Wright or the club.

Well he is gone then. I thought that may be the case when he was missing from the manager of the month photo.

I doubt he'll leave unless he's jailed.

He was on a larger manager of the month group picture taken on matchday.

He might get a ban, though.

Adver says that Nixon says that Wellens wants him at Salford.

Not a surprise.
Thing is Sheridan wants him to stay, he was his assistant manager at 2 of his previous clubs. Lets see who he decides is his best bet.

Would not surprise me if he followed Wellens, they seemed to form a decent coaching partnership, maybe depends if Wellens want's Hunt also

Apparently not. Hunt is happily settled down south.

I think Hunt lives not far from Hungerford and is happy settled in the South West(ish), I guess it depends if Sheridan is happy with him too.

Very clear on Sat that Wright was the assistant and Hunt was the spare part (on a match day). What that means for Wright going forward is hard to guess but there might be something to read into it.

Always hard to pin these things down, but given Sheridans lack of man-management skill, Hunt’s good cop/bubblier personality might be pretty crucial on a day to day basis in terms of squad morale even if Sheridan isn’t too keen on him getting involved in directing traffic for the 90 mins of match day

He's been bessies with Sheridan for years, they've been together at several clubs, so score draw on that front

From a football point of view, I guess that's good

Suspended from all football and related football activities for 6 years. Apart from coaching.

How does that work?

So are the FA suggesting coaching football is not a football related activity, interesting interpretation.

That might just be specific to Wrights methods of coaching though

Fair time between him being charged and being punished.

Would imagine hes not allowed to be an intermediatery or something.

Cone gathering only for him, which to be honest he was shit at anyway

What’s interesting here, is that Wright was charged by the FA of breaking a particular rule - E3. I’m pretty sure that’s the same one the club, Power, Barry and Standing have been charged with.

You would have thought that as he was also found criminally guilty of bribery, the FA punishments should be similar to what they dish out regarding our shit show.

I think E3 is basically a catch all for improper conduct (I noticed in finding the below that the one above was a charge under E3 for Jack Lester for swearing at the ref, then giving a false name when he was sent from the touchline), the FA website doesn't state what we have been charged under bar...
