Not really. I know many a manager has come back after a failure and a sacking but the lad has not shown any sign of success as a manager and that is what we need.

Two things in CH's favour: we could afford him; and he'd be willing to come here. (I'm assuming in both cases)

Being an ex-player helps too: us spoilt fans will tend to cut him a bit more slack. If he wants to return to management he'll presumably feel
he's got something to prove too. His spell at Torquay is probably not a fair yardstick - they were pretty much in turmoil when he took over.
Though according to Wiki he improved performances and results...but not enough to save them from relegation.

Anyone's a gamble. I'd have the Barrow manager (Evatt) in a heartbeat - but I rather doubt he'd want to come. Success elsewhere is no
guarantee of success here in any event (as we know well enough). Hargreaves is a reasonable option to my mind.

Good coaches often don't make good managers but in this case he will make an inexpensive one. That of course is the critical indicator.
Can he sell our best player to get this years £200k repayment to the dear leader?
Coaches are often the nice guy in management teams, sure he'll be ok there

You can't travel to matches in a manager  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Ditto - he is currently 'walking the walk' and 'stock' rising - done a great job there so far. Up to Town to make him an offer he can't refuse - or settle for mr. average, and hope to avoid the one relegation place this season, with this set of players increasingly losing confidence of the possibility of winning.

If the budgets gone then buy some more shares Fenty and get the Barrow man in -the manager the most important jigsaw piece of them all.

Basically for Shakey it sounds like he expressed an interest to his employers down South, he'll probably come up for interview but doesn't mean its a banker he'll be chosen.

Unless being one of the cheap options a pre-requisite to the decision. But I'd say we at a bit of a crucial pivitol stage in our existence -we teetering on either another crash to the depths of despair, or with the right guiding hand, pushing on some more with the bit of progress that has been there.

While we are hovering just above the drop zone out the Football League I think we need to push the boat out somewhat. Could be serious false economy should a cheap option (inevitably?) fail.

Whoever we get if they play the players in their best positions and stick with the same formation so the squad understands what they all should being doing ,

We shall be fine.

And that's exactly what limbrick did Saturday...just think with AL maybe the players don't quite have the confidence after being Jolleys understudy, probably done him more harm than good in thus situation which is a shame imho..
