Welcome, Mr. McGreal

This may be a daft question, but who's hired him? Power wants out and surely Axis & Able can't get involved. |

Has he officially been offered the job and accepted it?

BBC Wilts understands that's what has happened, yes. |

Taking into account the likely mass ST boycott etc he may end up with a budget that he would have been used to at Colchester.

Which means we might get Luke Norris as our main goal getter next season. Hopefully we get loads of pens. |

It’s no coincidence this has all came out the same day Clem is going to be live on Facebook is it? I get the feeling somebody is trying to take the attention away from that.

I doubt it would be that much if Mr. Power still holds the reigns. |

I can only think of 2 scenarios.
1. The club sale is going through and McGreal has got Clem’s nod
Or
2. Power is staying
On the face of it a decent appointment - definitely better than I thought Power would go for if it was his choice.
Sheridan was here for the wage only - guaranteed for the 8 months he was here and at the fag end of a miserable career.
McGreal is a relative newby and must have sought certain assurances that persuaded him to join.

Not an awful appointment in the circumstances. Obviously dependent on who appointed him - but we could have got a lot worse

An assurance from Power means absolutely nothing. |

Quite pleased with the appointment (without considering what it implies about the ownership situation). Experienced in the league, plays decent football and will be motivated to do a good job. Not sure we can ask for too much more

I presume he’s asked around about that! |
