Not over whelmed with this but support tge guys as normal
Yes we should have called Spennymoor and Brad Groves as a courtesy.
However, in bitching about it in public, Groves is being tremendously unprofessional. Would have been much better for him to have called David Johnston to ask what was going on and resolve it that way. It's not like the two don't know each other.....
It's almost as if Groves is deliberately trying to whip up anti-Darlo feeling.
And White was a relatively junior member of their coaching staff who they were prepared to let go anyway.
Put it this way, if Spennymoor had wanted him to stay, they'd have made life much more difficult for us.
White wasn't a major figure at Spenny so it's not the end of the world to them.

Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
Ooh is it a good appointment? Some of the Nuneaton fans don’t are glad he’s gone. Ohhh dear, we haven’t got a goalkeeping coach. OMG how will we scout players from County Durham if the manager is based in the midlands? Honestly?? Come on men!
Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
Be honest it was clearly inquisitive the rest isn't people moaning it is people just throwing out a question rather than anything. I am not sure a football message board is the right place for you if you just want multiple people to just post "Tommy wright wright wright" over and over again.

Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
He has been appointed as our manager by our board after a rigorous interview process and not some Mike Ashley style booze session. Let’s just give him and them a bit more credit. I would expect people to chant Tommy Wright Wright Wright over and over again, quite right
Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
If it was Donald Trump who had been appointed, I would still give him a chance to prove that he is the man to do the job. Not much time for the new management team to affect the result so perhaps some thanks and credit to the caretakers for keeping our heads up. Well done those who stepped up into the gaps right across the club. Now let's get behind them and ensure that we finish above York City, not necessarily getting into the play-offs but playing some proper football and clean sheets to secure our position in the league thus attracting better crowds.

Who says that he has another job?lo36789 wrote:Guess my thinking is 2 x training sessions on an evening plus 1 x match is a fair bit of travelling is all especially as it is circa 3/4 hours each way so he'll have to build it in with whatever job he does the rest of the time.tezza wrote:Who told you he was going to relocate?
The way i see, it for the present it is a good fit to Have Wright midlands based, Alan White on the doorstep, a real opportunity for them to agree an appropriate structure, that oversees the clubs day to day needs, on and off pitch. Each dependent on the other to take on roles and responsibilities.
If this job is his only job then travelling up and down 3-4 times a week shouldn't be a problem
Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
Exactly, people are over analysing this part time / full time thing yet again. Just because you have part time hours it doesn't mean you have to take a supplementary job. It's not like he's here getting the minimum wage. It wouldn't surprise me if he's on more than he was at Nuneaton and just working less hours.Quakerz wrote:Who says that he has another job?lo36789 wrote:Guess my thinking is 2 x training sessions on an evening plus 1 x match is a fair bit of travelling is all especially as it is circa 3/4 hours each way so he'll have to build it in with whatever job he does the rest of the time.tezza wrote:Who told you he was going to relocate?

He won't have had another job whilst he was full-time at Nuneaton so it's not like he's got to be in Nuneaton. I'd be amazed if he didn't relocate here in the next few weeks.
Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
It's well known Nuneaton are a full time outfit with a very low budget. Most of the players are young who have been in the full time game and been released. It's proven to be a decent platform for players to stay in full time training but on compromised wages. Although we are only prt time, out budget will be at least double that of Nuneaton. It is highly likely The manager has hd a significant pay rise and not a pay cut.

Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant
The Nuneaton chairman described him as the glue that held the club together. I can only presume that Wright will bring more to the table than simple picking a team. Alan White alluded to the fact that Wright had been quite involved in a developing he academy structure at Nuneaton which is something in his favour. Love to see some young players coming through.grimsbyquaker wrote:Ooh is it a good appointment? Some of the Nuneaton fans don’t are glad he’s gone. Ohhh dear, we haven’t got a goalkeeping coach.
