    If I was still I’d be checking out the options before committing. It’s different for us being fans.

    I'm generally in agreement with your points but it's a stretch to refer to it as an existing relationship, Still wasn't directly involved in that side of recruitment at Reims was he?

    Edit: scratch that, I see Knapper was loans manager at Arsenal so probably would have been liaising with Still a fair bit.

    Until it is all sewn up I'd absolutely expect gim to be talking to/visiting other people.

    No dramas, llamas.

    I think they only go to Rotterdam from Felixstowe. Same with Harwich.

    Don't plan your holidays based on that though!

    The reality is they finished higher than us and were in touching distance of the premier league. We have more potential. Tangible promotion opportunity provides a quicker opportunity to compete at the top and earn more. Last years collapse can’t have helped. I would want to know and believe in the plan and not rely on people talking a good game.

    We are heading for a third of a year without a manager, doesn’t make me feel as though we have the most professional group in charge. Some on here won’t start to worry until we’ve clocked up 2years<laugh><laugh>

    My personal choice from day 1 was Will Still, I thought it'd be a great coup for a club like ours, but as time passes I'm worried about what happens when we hit a bit of bad form, lose consecutive games and the hounding starts. That's okay when you've got a manager beneath your status who you can sack willy nilly, but not so much someone who has come in for the project and expects to be here for a few years, shîtty form is a normal part of football, even the best go through it, but especially clubs like ours who are not Man City.

    Pretty sure I heard that they have to look to get rid of players, having not gone up.... could be wrong

    Genuinely don't know how anyone on here can judge dodds or proctor and the roles they are meant to be carrying out. Dodds was well respected and thrust into a first team managers job with zero support. I've no idea if proctor is a good coach or not.
