I really wanted Artell, but I think part and parcel of him would have been his fertile imagination. There's no point saying that ex-club's supporters don't think highly of managers. Apart from Parkinson, which managers would we provide a glowing reference for? Not sure how many ex-managers want...

:hb:

Betvictor have suspended betting. on alexander. can still bet on others. oh well. ive made enough money, probably. not on the manager, bet on artell, but used one of my signup bonus bets on a morecambe crewe double.

The Bradford colour commentator, Gary Jones, said they turned us down because they want L1, plus close to home, so...

Dean Holden doesn't have a good record anywhere. One can say, maybe he'd have won more games than he lost if he'd been given the opportunity to stay longer, but the fact that he's been denied that opportunity 3 times seems significant. He's basically a guy that's failed repeatedly at higher...

I I'm not sure it's as simple as that. I'd be extremely unhappy if my club signed him.

Wow, I thought it was just a standard fan. I guess the main reports aren't providing that detail.

Colchester have reinstated Etherington as Caretaker Manager. They've offered WAGMI Utd a compensation package of one middle finger. https://www.cu-fc.com/news/2023/october/head-coach-update/

Lots I could say about this, but one thing leaps out. if Etherington had this clause in his contract, Lindsey will too. (I'm not suggesting that it's certain that Lindsey wants to leave, or even has really had 2 interviews with Gillingham). Anyway, about Etherington, and WAGMi in general, in...

Being honest, I don't know. He's managed at one club, Crewe, and as par for the course it was a mixture of success and in the end failure. I think that he's learned from the experience. managers don't always get it right first time. it's like a lot of things in life. You evaluate the things that...

Very surprised David Artell isn't on that list. Disappointed as well. Not because I think Artell isn't a leading candidate, but because I can't be arsed to sign up with whichever bookie that is to put some money on him. (if he's really at 33/1 though, my laziness is being severely challenged.

I almost had similar financial fortune. Mansfield, Stockport, Forest Green and MK Dons. Unfortunately the 5th part of the Accumulator involved Bradford City beating the club bottom of the division. None of those double or trebles for me. All or nothing. Death or glory.

OK. I've seen part of the podcast. https://x.com/ATTTMPod/status/1718153120960974904?s=20 He was talking about needing a good leader to pull 'Danzy' through. So, presumably that's Neil Danns, your AM. I suppose that makes sense if you're in mid table and can build for the future, but it does...

Why? Does he have faith in Adkins? Is the club short of money? Also, what do you think is the problem with the side? Do you think the players are good enough?

He probably shouldn't have said anything at all. https://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/23885443.matty-etherington-will-not-interim-charge-colchester-united/

I disagree. I appreciate that it's only 10 months at Crawley, but it appears he turned around the culture, installed standards on to the players and achieved good results with players that were complete nobodies. He'd be my league 2 manager of the year by a considerable distance. However his...

Matty Etherington's referred obliquely (which unfortunately is probably all he can do) to his time at Crawley. Colchester Gazette put it behind a paywall, but it sounds as though their 'story' is just a rehash of what he said to BBC Essex. Can't be bothered to transcribe all of it, but;

Bradford don't have to hurry because of the results and performances, although that's obviously creating new problems because anyone coming in is upsetting a functional apple cart. It does sound as though Gillingham are going through an inflated recruitment process, and maybe have too many...

If you read the tweet they're basing the Robinson story on it says, he turned down the opportunity to have talks. Quite sensible of him, because he wasn't going to get it, but I dare say he'd have been interviewed.
