New Manager

Thought this deserved a thread of its own...for those who haven't seen yet, it's Alan Julian. Pleased with that. A good guy, local, knows the club, highly experienced, must have a lot of contacts and can bring some stability. Although he's clearly changed his mind from a video clip earlier this year...

I never really understand why these things can't just be announced. Why does it have to be so cryptic? Is it something about building up social media anticipation?

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

I really hope Sam does apply. Decent bloke, excellent coach and highly regarded by those in the game. We really could do a lot worse, given that there are so many clowns amongst the potential candidates. I wouldn't want someone who's just on the usual tired old list of managerial merry go round susp...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Chief of this, that and the other are probably now being removed from their roles..it was a nonsense. The club naturally pulls in crowds of 400-700 and that is being generous. It was never a candidate for the EFL . If they managed a promotion to the National League last season it may have kept the ...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

How about Steve Bates? Maybe he should be given a chance. He knows the club inside out. Another Harper. It's not enough to know the club inside out though. You need loads of contacts, at both this level and in the football league lower divisions too. Harper actually occurred to me earlier because h...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

I wonder if Jimmy Bullard could be a contender? He did an interview online for the club two months ago and has been back recently filming his new podcast at the ground (with Fenners from Soccer AM) I hope not. He failed to set the world alight at Leatherhead. We need to see the logical, sensible ap...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Hmmm. On that note, wasn't Sam Cox supposed to have been in Ted Lasso as an extra? That probably seals it... Are you suggesting that he might be appointed? [/quote] No, not at all, no inside info or anything, although he's done a great job at Wealdstone and knows the level well. We could do a lot w...

Re: Club Statement 03/05/24

Investors walking away, Mel gone, doesn’t read well for the future to be honest. Massive deficit in funding, spent way beyond their means, now paying the price. No Manager would go anywhere near those two! To be honest I've long been wondering if we need a contingency plan, just in case we are ever...

Maybe it was his own decision.
The National League group on FB said he was "relieved of his duties" so maybe they think they know a bit more than us. We might never know the truth...
