Re: Manager appointment

Well I'm guessing none of us saw that one coming. It does seem like a slightly risky appointment to me, as others have said surely we need someone who knows the division inside out and who knows good players we can afford. All the liaising with the academy stuff and bringing players through is a nic...

Re: Liam Vincent

That's a huge loss, he's been one of our better players recently. Shame.

Re: Q&A with the brothers saturday .

A quirk of fixtures and reorganised games etc has given us 3 home games in a row. This is a great opportunity to get a few points on the board and move towards safety. It's more than a bit calamitous if we don't have someone in permanant charge for these, no disrespect intended to Steve Bates. It's ...

Re: Q&A with the brothers saturday .

Yes, I'd been wondering if the new manager might have been announced today. There's still time I suppose but a Friday announcement would seem unlikely, unless they're being unveiled to the players first at training tonight maybe? Who knows. I'm still slightly surprised that they didn't have someone ...

Are you going to submit any of these questions in advance Shep?

Re: Club statement

I think Gary would have still gone but the owners might have waited until the end of the season. For the last 18m the style of football played has been poor to watch so it cant have been pleasing on the eye for the owners. It has also been pointed out many times that the managers recruitment is con...

Re: Hemel away on a Saturday.

What is the nature of Brandon's injury? It does seem very long-term...you do wonder if a long term decision will need to be made about him at some point soon.

Re: Hemel away on a Saturday.

I think Tommy Wood just needs an arm put around him and some TLC. He definitely has the ability to score goals at this level, I think he just needs a strike partner next to him, small, agile and quick. Easier said than done granted but would be nice Completely agree with this, it always seemed so o...

Re: Club statement

Although at a slight tangent, the Hungerford chairman has announced his is leaving and going to Gloucester City. Financial pressures again the cause. Wonder if this might affect Steve King as manager at Gloucester? Is that a suggestion for new Hampton boss? Depends on how much money we want to spen...

Re: Hemel away on a Saturday.

Not much to add to what Tony's already said above, but for spells of this game we did seem to have slightly more of a spring in our step than of late, which was good to see, but the simple fact is that we don't have a strong enough team to compete at this level and certain players aren't putting in ...

Re: Hemel away on a Saturday.

Will be interesting for sure. Maybe we need a seperate "which potential managers are present" thread... Hopefully a few more players will be returning but I think a point would be a good result today. Maybe just knowing a new manager could be watching might mean some players step it up a b...
