Never works like that. It’s supposed to but it doesn’t, same for footballers.

I’d rather him go now than in six months in silly season when clubs are getting shot of their managers. At least this way we’ve got a chance to organise things.

But nobody should simply equate all of our success with Ian Evatt. Its been a collective effort and despite the fact that Evatt wasn't appointed by him, Paul Hornby has to me become the most important person at the club.

Without quoting your whole very well worded post SB this part is probably slightly unfair on the other owners (I know you won’t have meant it that way) because each one of them brings other skills to the club. PH is a fantastic at the media side of things and obviously his accountancy knowledge has been invaluable but I think it’s worth pointing out that behind the scenes are three others putting in a lot of effort. Mark H was hardly away from HS last summer and always has “one more job” for us to do. Kris W does massive amounts bringing various parts of the ground up to EFL standards and looking after (probably walking over) the things most would miss on a normal match day. Tony S will obviously bring all his years of business experience & know-how to the club.
All together (along with the Trust) a massive reason why we’ve enjoyed what’s been happening the last eighteen months.
Like I say, I know you never meant it that way but I thought it was just worth mentioning.

No ones irreplaceable

Happens all the time in football, if he goes so be it

We may end up with better, we may not, still wont stop me getting a season ticket

Yep 1/10 on skybet, looking ominous, was hoping hed show some loyalty but not looking likely

You could do a lot worse than Nigel Clough, he's the type that will keep you up and get you going.

If he is that good, why are Bolton not chasing him?

It's time to quantify your usual "I know more than most" but I won't tell post.

Not pretending to know more than most Graham but you must be living in a cave to pretend there is nothing in it.

Please don't insult the cave I live in Stu. It's warm and paid for. Where do you assume that I pretend there is nothing in it. I have never posted anything on the subject , apart from I would like to hear a club statement. And Paul Hornby has said he wants £ 250, 000 compo. That's a statement is'nt it !

So are we assuming the club have agreed to let Bolton talk to evatt and agreed the 250k sum should he go?

From what I read before on twitter barrow wanted the £250,000 sat in our account before they spoke. If IE goes we keep it and if he stays they get it back.

Fair enough, not convinced they have stable finances/ownership so understandable

Is Russell Dodd still on the Board?

Think its ominous that the release list has not been published ,
Maybe he thinks he should leave it to see who comes in if he leaves.

If he stays I'm going to be celebrating almost as much as when we were confirmed as Champions.

Probably because he's applied for the Birmingham job in the Championship and is one of the favourites in the betting..

I think it was Paul Hornby who said on the Radio Cumbria interview last night that the retained list is out either late this week or early next week Pedro.
