Thank f-ck for that
Well yeah, there is that side of it.
Sums things up a bit though for a manager to turn us down in favour of a League Two club that are in a relegation dogfight doesn't it.

We are in total disarray, why would anyone want the job until rent, embargo etc etc are sorted out?
Happy to see his ship sail past, but the worry is that other managers (good managers) are giving us a wide berth and limiting our pool of available managers to choose from.
Simply isn't true. Quite widely publicised that interviews are taking place this week. What may have happened is he withdrew his application for CCFC job in favour of York, probably knowing he was a long shot at best.
Ahhhh that air of common sense. Instead of doom, doom,doom, we suck, doom, doom, doom.
By the same token, it could quite easily have been that we approached him and he turned us down.
Who knows. All speculation and I am only reporting what the press up there have said.
How did he 'turn us down' exactly? Neve even heard of a rumour of us even being interested in him, let alone offering him the job. He's even sh*tter than Curle.
He would have been as much my number one choice as Cody was our number one target over ALF
He may well have been a target but our chances of getting him were very slim indeed. Why some think he would have even considered coming here when we bidding for him against Mcdermott & Reading.
Despite reports that former Northern Ireland manager Nigel Worthington turned down Coventry City to take over at York City, the Telegraph understands he wasn't a candidate for the job.

Worthington has taken charge of the League Two club following the dismissal of his predecessor Gary Mills at the weekend.

York newspaper The Press reports
ed: "It is believed he was approached to take over at troubled League One outfit Coventry City but found the Minstermen a more attractive proposition due to their financial clean bill of health."
Worthington said: “I’ve had a few offers from clubs in higher divisions during the last 12 months but they did not feel right for me."
However, the Telegraph understands the former Sheffield Wednesday defender was never in the running for the vacant Sky Blues post.

Could very well have been true. I remember years ago that we chose Peter Billing over David Platt or something equally ridiculous.
