Think the successful appointment of Ian Evatt was more due to luck with Andrew Casson than judgement. Paul Casson brought in Cox with relatively decent degrees of success but that haemorrhaged cash and we couldn’t keep up with his voracious appetite. But look who has come and gone in between It has mainly been a who’s who of dross. Andy Pennock being the best of the worst. Rob Kelly steadied the ship last season and we are all eternally thankful of our survival but it’s going to take a fair bit of luck again going forward.Hitthebar22 wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 10:31 pm I'm a fan of the board, and their enthusiasm as entitled supporters. Having significant quantities of dosh obviously counts for a lot, with us and any club from PL to NL. Look at us with the Cassons (even Pedro couldn't deny that Evatt coming to the club was more than significant because of them). A clear and simple analysis is that the important decision regarding who is appointed as our next manager rests with the board, and only them. I'm totally convinced that they are passionate about the club,. No doubts about that at all. My only point is that recently they have made a balls of it, twice. Yes, Kelly was a significant but short term saviour. Perhaps this time careful consultation with "footballing" people e.g. Kelly and hopefully a number of others who really know what's required in L2 will get us the right sort of manager to consolidate the club and move us up in many ways. Rhetorically, are the board sufficiently football savvy to get the right person in?
Hoping our new manager the players we have left and any new blood gel in pre season and start to build momentum as the season progresses.
Not got a clue who they are going for to lead us to safety next season, just hope whoever it is offers stability for a season or two and something then we perhaps can build from!
