Re: Mark Cooper
I've been told by two different sources that he is very much a front runner for the job. And he gets my vote 100%. He knows the Conference, he knows the grounds, he knows the clubs there and he knows the players in that division. All those will be vital and will help him to hit the ground running. ...

Re: The hole club thing..!!
I'm no lower league budget expert but would i be wrong in thinking that we will probably have a decent budget by conferance standards? Certaily no less than kettering and he lead them to 2nd. I dont know enough about the man to say wether or not he should be our next manager, but his record certain...

Re: The hole club thing..!!
Kettering had a massive budget in the Conference North. You've still got to use it wisely of course, but what is he like on a tight budget? precisely - apart from that and a couple of cup runs he's not had any other success - nearly taking tamworth down twice and a mediocre stint in the conference ...

Re: Curtis Main keep or get shot?
A 17 year old who cannot lead the line single-handedly, be relied upon for 20 goals before Xmas or use his vast experience and knowledge of the game to calm and motivate the side to safety. Allegedly, he also does not like a carvery.
What a disgrace, sack him now.

Re: Singh aims to make swift appointment - Echo article
If Singh wants the crowds to improve, appointing any of the above would guarantee to keep the low.
Please, for god's sake, take your time and get someone in who re-energises the club.

Neil McDonald is an excellent suggestion, but I don't think he'd want to leave Blackburn now. The rumours circulating around his Ca...

Bogie has built a good side, but has had a significant budget, relative to his rivals.

Re: Next Manager
Penney's problem at Oldham is that the fans despise his brand of football and have never taken to him, much the same as many of ours did.

The Conference will relegate Chester as normal and teams will be promoted from Conference North & South as normal.
A team will be saved from relegation in the Conference North and everything else will continue as normal.
