Quoted from RichMariner
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.


I agree with this. If push comes to shove with Wilko not showing any signs of changing things then I'd probably plump for Askey on the basis that if we did get relegated then we would have someone in place who is well equipped for that league. As we found out previously its a massive culture shock being in that league, and we were reeling for the first two years down there, I don't think we've got the time to wait for a McCall, Brown or Stockdale to come to terms with it.

Latest odds..
Craig Elliott 1/2
John Asked 9/2
Paul Wilkinson 11/2
Robbie Stockdale 8/1
Phil Brown 9/1
Stuart McCall 14/1

Out of those, I personally would like Phil Brown (due to potential knowledge of higher leagues and quality players) or Craig Elliot (up and coming manager potentially?) I don't know much about any of them or anyone else further down the order.

Quoted from Ipswin


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.


Howard Wilkinson managed Boston he won the football league with Leeds.

Jim Smith also started at Boston and he had a pretty decent career.

My wife wasn't comfortable with me reading Forum.


I have no idea what you mean.



Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Groves    8-1 at hartleppol . Failed at Bournemouth ......   great player for US as many have been in the past but not a manager


Thought he was English.
