I'd do anything for love... but I won't watch King's Lynn Town v Halifax?

Last night's point I believe gives Widdrington as many points from his first 10 games in charge as Culverhouse got from his 17 games in charge this season, 2 wins, 2 draws each. Progress then of sorts but I guess not at the rate necessary to keep us in this league.

Agreed Loopy. Reminds me in a way of John Gidman, who had all the charm, banter and one liners and look how that ended!!

Did it end? I seem to recall an ongoing dispute for some time afterwards Gidman claiming he was sacked and Dollimore claiming he resigned. Gidman adamant he was still owed thousands by Lynn. Never a dull moment with those two involved.

And with those 4 goals in a week Barrett becomes our top goalscorer for the season.

That last line worries me.

I genuinely hope I'm proved wrong, but having the intention of playing league football is not the way to run a non league football club.

Having the intention of building a  club that attracts enough fans to support a team capable of competing at the highest level that club can reasonably afford, would be a more achievable long term goal.

Sounds like promotion at any cost.

Where does that leave us when it all goes belly up,  again?

Spot on Kevin (meant to post that on you post on the Crouch Report thread too), personally the fact that it was included in the advert merely highlights the continuation of the fantasy rather than 'showing ambition' which is how some may choose read it.

B&G, I am not really sure your interpretation would apply to the football manager post as there are far, far too many things that are (or at least should be) outside of their remit, if the job advert was for an operations manager / CEO then that's a different matter.  As for someone doing their homework, that would be the big concern in terms of the sort of candidates we would appeal to as I can't see the club appealing to an experienced manager so the question is then would an up and coming manager want to come in now or maybe take the gamble that the post will be available again at the end of the season?

Yes, Tony, agreed. The whole 'building the club' piece is beyond the manager's role and in the current model as far as I can tell resides with one man.

What about Gary Mills .......the great escape part 2?

Yes!

Experienced Football League manager
Experienced National League manager
Previous bad experience with Wrexham

Ticks the boxes, get him in!

18 month contract, so if he can't get the goals to keep us up we're trusting him to get the goals to get us back up next season.

As much interest on this fourm recently in the Sterry Cup as the FA Cup
