What are you talking about? It was a joke about Joey Barton having the same political opinion as our owners (especially Jason). I'm a socialist, Labour Party member and have been a candidate a couple of times (in unwinnable seats only as I have no desire to be a councillor). Being a socialist isn't an insult.

But in all seriousness, when Jason talks about values what do you think that is code for? Here's a link to give you a clue...

HR Magazine interview January 2017

If you think Jason & Andrew would appoint somebody who doesn't share their values, like Sol Campbell for example. you're deluded.


Right,so it was sarcasm. Thanks for clarifying that then.

Stockwood must be the only socialist to have written a book calling for a capitalist economy! But we digress…

Some of the squad should see this as a new opportunity and a fresh start, particularly those who have been continually frozen out. If a new manager can’t get a tune out of Alex Hunt I will finally concede I was wrong on him.

Quoted from GollyGTFC


The last 3 seasons Altrincham have finished 17th, 14th & 17th in the National League. They started this season very well and are 5th, but they've only won 7 out of 17 this season. He's overseen 48 wins from 149 National League matches since winning his second promotion via the play-offs in the COVID curtailed season. Is a manager with a 32.2% win record in the division below where we are a good choice? Especially as he never played professional football.



The fifth word you wrote there sums up his achievement.

Altrincham.

They're bloody tiny!

Those league places and win ratios are one hell of an achievement. Totally unrealistic to be expecting much more at a club of that size.  

Of course winning is the overarching objective but I think 1878 are smart enough to recognise that one of the biggest criticisms thrown at Hurst was his style of football. I don't think we'll be going for a long ball percentages type manager.

There have been plenty of tiny clubs in the NL since 2020 and many of them have done better than finishing between 14th & 17th.

Paul Tidsdale might be a good option. Over a period of seasons kept improving Exeter with an attractive brand of football before eventually winning promotion to league one. Whether he would move up north is another question though?

Long time ago now, had 3 failed appointments since his Exeter days


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Quoted from Spurn boy
Whoever the next manager is please give Cartwright the chance to prove himself as our No 1 keeper, he deserves it after today.


He had practically nothing to do today.

Michael Beale ? But I suspect he's out of our reach.   Always Ian Beale at least we know he likes fish

Whoever we get as the next manager, the first thing they need to do is make us hard to beat and stop leaking as many goals as we have. Not going to be pretty initially but we need to get back to basics before we can even start thinking/fantasing about playing in an attractive/attacking style of play. Unless people think we are going get out of our current predicament with a "you score three we'll score four" approach.
