It will be interesting to see how he gets on. If there's a big turnaround at FGR we can only ask 'if only' !

New forensic evidence arise apparently, after West Yorks Police were confident of the forensic evidence they had was concrete enough. Can only assume as I don't have/am not privy to all the information, that the defence asked for more/provided more "forensic" evidence and the Crown PS subsequently dropped it.
What that further forensic evidence was, we probably will never know but for West Yorkshire to be very confident about a charge turning into a conviction, must have then been a massive knock (mentally) to the person who said they were raped, for it to be dropped. As I say, they never withdrew their allegation.
Apologies btw, In just catching up so I'll try and keep it related to "Proper Manager"...on that point I think on paper Morris appears a good coach in his field, so from a professional football point of view, this should be good for the Town.
There's been no shortage of speculation on this new manager thread but, without knowing what the additional forensic evidence was, I'm not sure that I'd be any the wiser on the basis of: Morris being likely to have "decent lawyers". Police being " very confident" of enough "concrete evidence" initially. that not proceeding " must have been" a massive knock to the complainant, mentally. |

I know your opening paragraph was some kind of attempt at humour coupled with sarcasm but it wasn't particularly great  In addition, I'm only quoting how West Yorkshire Police reported it publicly. Not my words. It's fair enough and not too beyond the imagination to state that it would be uncommon or even rare for an elite sports star NOT to have top end representation in a legal situation. Knowing people that HAVE been raped and seemingly having a case backed by the police, DOES have an incredible impact mentally/psychologically when said case suddenly gets thrown out. My final original paragraph was just trying to bring this thread back on track towards manager talk and you know that. |

Right. Let’s get off of the non football bits about this.
What do we think Morris will bring? Do we know anything about how he might play? Anything about the type of CBS that he might want?

My final original paragraph was just trying to bring this thread back on track towards manager talk and you know that. The system can be terribly tough on victims, so no slight intended in their direction - nor your's! Just felt it unfair to judge Morris on the basis of a very old case dropped as a result of further forensic evidence. I always like to judge our coaches and players on the basis of their how they go on to perform here - on and off the pitch. I'd make an exception for Steve Evans though. |

Aye, and I (as well as others) have expressed that I can seperate professional and personal differences when it comes to a person's character on and off the pitch. I look forward to see what he brings in terms of developing youth. Taking it all the way back, I do remember a programme on TV that included a very young Morris (possibly one of the last waves of YTS players I would think) and I wonder what he remembers from such a time  The less said about Steve Evans the better  Edit: Found it. Was interesting to hear what a 16yr old Morris says at 50mins 30secs, oh and bloody Graham Rix essentially hogs the episode. What he says right at the end didn't age well....condering his misdemeanours a couple of years later  Rix comes across as quite a cunt and the episode seemed so dated (only 1997) - have modern approaches to football coaching and ethics only really changed very recently or was/is Rix just an absolute dinosaur in the Sheridan type of mold? I get that some kids need a kick up the backside but the way he isolated Jimmy Abrey in the episode was fucking bullying/humiliating/disrespectful and he did it whilst the cameras were rolling... It's also interesting that he let them have a drink (16yr old lads) whilst on tour but then berates them for having said drink(s). I mean at 16 if you weren't already out trying to get into a pub/club and/or were given licence by your manager to have a beer (whilst also abroad for the first time) then it's likely some will get a smidge carried away. Wouldn't most people get sacked now for abusing a duty of care in the workplace...as I say, listening to the last words Rix says on that programme is incredibly cringy 
Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how Morris is with youths and his approach. On reflection, he is deemed to be pretty good in this area so I'm hopeful that as well as the club sourcing decent young talent, that the Town might even have a better framework to bring through some more of their own. |

Your right. Club have released the info to be shared but haven't done the official blurb on our website. Presumably they will do that when statistically it gets the most 'clicks' |
