Scraped a draw from being 3 nil down last week. Lost today.

Are there still people out there that would like this guy as our manager?

Incidentally, our chief scout was watching Boston United last week. The question is, was he looking at players? If so then who for, as we are managerless? Or was he possibly casting an eye over Elliot’s set up and touchline performance, maybe reporting on what he’s seen for Mr Fenty ???

All you have to do is look at the Cowley brothers for me and it's proof it works.

Let's get an upcoming fresh manager and not one that's been sacked a thousand times.


Like Paul Hurst?

You didn’t like him either though did you?

Quoted from Shilts
Of all names mentioned already my vote goes to Craig Elliot at Boston.

Sick of journeyman players and managers on the merry go round. Why get a bigger name manager that had success once with a club in league 1 but has since been hired and fired from 5 different jobs in the last 10yrs.

Instead get a winner from leagues below (Lincoln should know that), and all our previous best came as winners from below, Buckley and Hurst were nobody's till they came here (when I say nobody's, I mean managers on the up with proven records, but as yet unknown to us)

There's plenty out there that know only success and promotion, a la cowleys.

It would be a rapid rise for elliot, he was managing Shaw Lane a season ago!!!

But won 3 promotions with them in 4 seasons and left for Boston when they were 3pts off top with games in hand.

Now he's completely turned Boston round from a situation just like oirs currently. Want a bit of that.

Someone use to a budget as well and knows the lower leagues.

Not another Slade type.

If Fenty can't get an appointment right or do the relevant checks, clearly the Boston chairman can, and has an eye for a manager (Hurst, now Elliot), so if we poach their managers u know that the manager has been vetted by a competent chairman also.


intercourse it let's just sign the chairman

Maybe it's just me but apart from going part time to full time what's the different jumping 2 divisions? You can still use the same approach, still have the same amount of players who start a game etc. I can understand a footballer it's a big jump as you're playing against fitter, more experienced players on the field.

Boston will place a big fee on Elliot after the last shenanigans between Fenty and Boston.

If Fenty wants him he is going to have to dig deep into his pocket something I don't think he will be prepared to do, then he has to persuade him to somehow live on a rolling contract.

Make no bones about it I reckon we are in the shat money wise after this disastrous season.

Even if we survive this season WTF we are going to do next season I don't know, we really are in shitcreek with only half a paddle.

Probably the same jump as you mentioned in jobs
