Caretaker

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Why don't we act like a professional club and pay somebody who has recruited managers successfully to find us a proper manager with a proper plan? I have great respect for Buckley and Davies but we need to start doing things like a proper business would.

This.

It's not a lucky dip. We need someone who knows football involved.

Nancy from the kit room, shes sends the lads out impeccably, haha. But in truth, I reckon we should give Cockers a call, now he was a hero. Its gonna be someone who is close to the club I reckon, someone with the black n white blood. Enter John Cockerill, he was offered it years ago but walked away from it, maybe its the time for him.

Cockers?

Christ, the suggestions get worse by the minute.

maybe you should learn about the past history wigwig. Cockers was a hero here, and wqs up for the job years ago, and turned it down. perhaps u have a better idea and knowledge since getting grown out of your nappies !!

Well dicko, i'm a lifelong Town fan since the age of 12 and i'm nearing 60, so i don't need a history lesson thanks. Known John since he was in the Mariners youth team with my younger brother. I was in the same school team as Glenn, so i know a bit about the Cockerill's.

John was caretaker manager 18 years ago, so what would you say makes him a candidate for the job?

Cockers was caretaker manager on 3 separate occasions 94, 96 and 2000 after being assistant manager, in fact he was the only one as caretaker manager who won games and deserved to be offered the job but it was given I think to Lennie Lawrence.

Cockers was never offered the job and only left sometime after.

I'd be happy enough with Dave Moore until the end of the season. He has the respect of this group of players who don't know Buckley from Adam (no pun intended).

According to wiki he's managed 105 games and has a win % of 37%. The players certainly put a shift in for him away at Bolton last season.

Didn't he say he would only take the job on if he was sanctioned around £1 million to spend on players.
