We may be reading too deeply. It may be that his agent just wanted to get him some match time at this level before his contract runs out.

It's only natural in a way. Eakin probably spoke to SP on a regular basis and familiarity often clouds judgement. It's hard not to feel bad for someone who undoubtedly tried his best but was obviously struggling since the Worcester defeat. He'd (SP) become a bit of an underdog and human...

What is pertinent is that a 3rd tier club with (undeniable) massive potential is a better lure for a potential buyer than one in the 4th tier by some distance. The Prem is where the money is (more so now than ever) and there are some investors who will still see CCFC as viable in getting...

Perhaps they've got a team putting £100k on. Actually a good idea, would pay for his contract.

Wasn't SP at 33/1 shortly before he got the Job?

Out of any of them I'd prefer Richard Money.

OP has no reason to lie. First part of the Story sounds sensible and credible (getting an experienced manager alongside would seem sensible - a straight firing would cost £££, SISU savvy enough to know that it would mean SP would take a lower pay-off rather than have the humilation and...

Errrr... Yes?

Dennis Wise anyone? Possible even Dowie as co-Manager? (Or one assisting the other) One a in motivator role, one an intelligent fitness/tactical role? A lot of these people who have been out of the game for a couple of years (and already have a few quid but don't want to simply fade...

Sir Alex Ferguson buys into Glasgow Rangers, becomes a back-seat advisor to his son Darren, who becomes Manager. Pressley the Assistant Manager. Read title again, madder things have happened.

Still think SP would have benefitted a year or two alongside an old head, like Warnock or similar. Some of SP's tactical decisions (such as his subs on Saturday) showed a lack of guile and game-craft. SP had some good characteristics, just needed some experience alongside him. May...

I think Gould as a local scout is a good shout. Pay him no retainer and a very small percentage of any future transfer fee received. It's a different age in many ways but he's possibly more suited. Gone are the days when you could realistically find a non-league player and chuck him in a...

Richard Money

Very good. Posting getting better on here.

I knew it was something along those lines. 100% agree, we can't turn the clock back but we can take advantage of RM's possible desire to bury some ghosts. He's applied before, and may apply again should the position become vacant. As for SP, to become an assistant after being a manager is...

Actually, I fear you may be right.

I think he would. It's a chicken and egg thing. This club is at the "bottom of the business cycle" I.e. On it's arse. Massive potential, undeniable. Bit of spark and we could gain investment, impetus and really go on a roll. Closest comparison club to look up to is Southampton. Built...

I'd get RM in and not sack SP tbh. We will have to pay him anyway so may as well keep him around to look after the reserves or do some opposition scouting or whatever. SP is still quite a young manager, if he has any class about him he would stand aside and support a more experienced...

I think you are right, he has applied on a number if occasions. Perhaps he sees this as unfinished business and knows the potential of the club. The only "black mark" that he had is when he had a go at Luton fans in order to defend his players. See that - DEFEND his players. SP has...

Made me chuckle. About right.
