I agree, after all the games, that’s not the one you’d expect him to have been given the boot...that said, I guess he became a victim of the never ending nonsense that is the overall leadership of GTFC.

I didn’t rate Bignot or his football but he did have an eye for a player and perhaps he was sold a dud, not the first and won’t be the last.

Will probably be forever remembered purely because of that Blackpool win and the short spell in charge...


I've heard his fate was sealed when we were drubbed by Doncaster

That was a bitter pill to swallow admittedly but bouncing back in style at Blackpool the following week ( who actually got promoted the next month via the play-offs ) I thought we had the basis of a good team

Shows that I just don't have what it takes to be the non-chairman of a lower league football club....

Certainly had a good eye for a player. Realised after 5 games that Berrett was fucking shit!

Prior to Holloway arriving I thought we’d dodged a bullet with Bignot but on reflection he probably had something and given time who knows maybe he could have replicated something like he did at Solihull.

One think that I often think about is if he’d have stayed would Osborne have stayed? That lad has talent. Would Sam Jones have progressed into the player many thought he would be etc.. etc..

He did some mad stuff like playing an experimental side against a free scoring Doncaster side and then there was the bus incident with Henderson.

Like a say putting Bignot’s time here versus Holloway’s apart from the QPR links there where parallels but on reflection I’d have been surprised if he stayed that Bignot would have left us in the mess Holloway has.

Seem to recall a 3-0 win at Plymouth and a 3-1 away win at Carlisle on New Years Day when they were top of the league. He was certainly different & definitely brought in too many players that January and like all managers some were crap others excellent, Osbourne and Jones (while it lasted) and I was sorry he got the boot but accept his career has not taken off since his time with us.

Good luck to him.

It’s probably not helped Bignot that he was sacked by us, a 4th division club. But I’ve always maintained he should have been given more time. like every manager at Town under Fenty, including Slade II, he was copulated over.


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.

I'm struggling to remember (probably a good thing), but who were the good and bad players he signed?

Not after an exhaustive list, but just some of the names

Asante plays for Chesterfield, not Chester. Signed for them in October and has scored 6 in 7 games. Another decent looking signing that floundered when here.

I think Sam Jones is now back at Gateshead, Yussuf at Wrexham & Asante is knocking them  in at Chesterfield.
