Quoted from Spidey


Just watched Stockwood’s interview on YouTube, and he said that would have been disrespectful to Paul, though he could be lying I suppose.


I wouldn't say lying, but sounding people out through contacts will have been done I'm sure. We can't afford to take an age, most other clubs around us picked up points and will be buoyed by that. Its a mess but let's hope we get out of it.

Proper FOOTBALL manager PLEASE. BIG NO to Cowley/Alexander types who will continue to bore us to death with SET hoofball.










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

The recruitment guy? Too many cooks? Increased budget?  Data telling him he was doing it all wrong even though he'd had previous success?

We will obviously never know but it goes to show there will never be a set formula for football management.


He 'survived ' quite a while in relative terms though didn't he just doing it his way - those things that  you mentioned are interesting aswell - what positive/negative difference it made to Hurst /Town going forward and that they may well contradict each other . Time will tell won't it .

Indeed. The data analysts, recruitment guy and the extra staff might be spot on with the next manager. Or not as the case may be.

It's the current equivalent of Fenty heaping praise on Scott and Hurst because they could use a computer but a manager that suits these players rather than suiting a spreadsheet will work wonders I'm sure.

No clues in the early odds. Cowley favourite at 5/1 followed by Phil Parkinson

Please don't go for Cowleys, boring hoofball, with cheating players throwing themselves everywhere.

Just hope they have someone already in mind and it's a quick appointment, without a massive round of applicants and interviews.

I'm sure we will learn more on their thinking come Monday.

Why do you think Pete Wild would come here?


With due respect: bigger fan base and attendance, bigger budget, more potential etc.

If David Artell gets the job then we’ll go down.

No offence to anyone, but I’d argue the majority of town fans would struggle to name 20 people who’ve held a football manager’s job in the last 12 months, never mind their relative strengths and weaknesses.

I’d just like someone who gives the players a bit of confidence and who doesn’t go into games endlessly talking up the opposition.
