Tom Pope???

We get fixated don’t we, like we did on player managers years back. Allenby Chilton came from ManU and took us to promotion so when we were next desperate we went to Busby for advice and got Bobby Kennedy. He was a good player and started to build a decent team but was sacked when results didn’t go his way. The less said about Lyons the better but Chris Nichol was a great signing as player and assistant. So some good, some bad.

As people have said about Futcher, Whymark and Birtles, we have struck lucky sometimes with players the wrong side of 30. Sometimes not. I don’t think age is a barrier if the bloke has character and a football brain to compensate. Perhaps Coke is one such player if he gets and stays fit and, like Futcher, is not asked to be an Olympic sprinter. Fishy posters have often said we need someone in charge on the field, an old head amongst youngsters.

I agree with you about Coke, certainly one for the future and present. Even on his bad days, he is better than some squad players on their good days!

We've had plenty of fast young sprinters who cannot deliver an end pass, cross or through ball, so a wise head not panicking with accurate passing and some younger runners around would not go amiss.

Another Metate like player alongside a wise head would be exciting to see.

What's Paul Emson up to these days?  

Last seen still running ..............  up the left lane of the M180 looking for someone to cross to.
