I didn't know a big L2 club was after him, he's bound to choose them before us
Seriously what is all this crap about Elliott. What is it about Boston United managers that gets Fenty all aroused? Is it because they are cheap I wonder. (The only decent manager to come out of Boston is about to take Mansfield into the playoffs this season)
We can't afford to take a risk on a manager from one league below never mind two FFS, If Fenty is determined to appoint someone in a hurry, which I really hope he isn't (IMO Wilkinson, with the help I hope of Moore, will get the best out of what we have got) I'd rather leave it until the end of the season personally but if he does jump in please not Elliot or anyone else from the non-league.
Hang on, JF hasn’t mentioned him , you are talking crap |

This is a crucial and difficult appointment to make.
Right now we need a fixer - someone who can lead us to safety by whatever means (even if it’s horrible football).
Then, if we survive, we’ll need a builder in the summer.
I wouldn’t want us lumbered with a short-term appointment from the summer onwards, but if we employ a more visionary (but young/risky) manager now it might not guarantee us safety.
If you see what I mean.

Whoever we appoint will be a roll of the dice
We appointed Buckley from non league Kettering after two successive relegations
What a risk and what a result!
So why are some people pooping themselves over Craig Elliot?
He has had 3 promotions in 4 seasons - Hurst had also got Ilkeston and Boston promoted
When Elliot took over at Boston they were 3rd bottom and now they are safely in 8th/9th
He has the winning habit, knows what it takes to produce results etc
Sure, he lacks experience but every manager has to start somewhere in EFL
I think Stockdale is a far bigger risk - never been a manager
Also.... can some people think before they post about a legend and great player like Paul Groves "should never be let near the club again"
Complete disrespect and moronic

This 'Buckley came from non league Kettering' remark is true of course but previously his record was impressive at Walsall taking them to the League Cup semi final. He was hardly an untried or inexperienced novice |

Interesting names in the frame with a wide range of fors and against.
Fingers crossed for whoever's appointed takes to the job like duck to water and takes us to new beginnings.
Optimistic with the ride ahead for the best fans on the planet 😍

Just wait and see - he mentioned contact from a lot of applicants (out of work dossers probably) and some others the club will be speaking to given permission. I can't see any manager in his right mind who is currently in a job in L1 or L2 applying so I suggest anyone we would need permission to speak to is in non-league. Personally I would favour, if we must go non-league, to wait and see which of the disappointed managers from the 6 or 7 who are currently in the promotion mix from the Conference are available come May. The Wrexham bloke if they don't make it for example Sadly it looks like Fenty is worried and is therefore keen to make an early appointment (which normally means a wrong choice) Elliott would be a wrong choice right now (and probably in May too given who else might be available) Wilkinson (and hopefully Moore having an input) can do it. |

Yes. And it is not moronic or disrespectful to talk of Groves and Woods in Such a manner. Groves took the first relegation in a poor manner and continued to do it again. He is a fool who put his own situation before the club. Many a good player has had there reputation tarnished by going into management.

The ONLY decent manager to come out of Boston? So you are completely disregarding another one who not only got Town promoted (however many seasons it took) miraculously saved Shrewsbury from almost certain relegation and is about to take them up to the Championship! And why are you so against managers from non-league? Haven't our most successful managers in recent history come from non-league? Yes, Marcus Bignot didn't quite pan out as we'd all of liked but if you look back through the threads of when he was appointed, you will find the majority of us were happy with his appointment and agreed Fenty has made a good decision going for young and up and coming rather than journeyman 'merry go round' manager. As another poster above has remarked... You're talking crap!!! |

He took us out of the non-league eventually and then cupped his ear like he had won the Champions League What other 'most successful managers in recent history come from non-league' are you referring to? Buckley managed Walsall in the league before he came here remember (and was only at Kettering as Walsall got rid) We need someone who knows the club and the squad for the rest of this season or, if Fenty insists on jumping in, someone who has had experience and success in the league preferably in relegation fights , not someone hoping to step up from non-league to a 'massive club' (not) like Grimsby Town (we can get someone with non-league experience if we go down!) This isn't the moment for 'up and coming' |

Whose to say it's a manager? Could be an assistant or a coach at a higher level. Stockdale for instance. |
