He could go one better and request a transfer so we can cash in on that sell-on fee. Would certainly boost Nicho's playing budgetDJ Gull wrote:Great Gesture from O'kane to contact Kev and make a point to Eddie Howe that TUFC might need help.
O'kane could even come back himself if he likes....
I agree with this, except I'd start Spiess instead of Lavercombe. Briscoe needs to be pushed up front. That's where we'll get the best out of him.arcadia wrote:Any manager coming in would sort out the defense.
I would play Lavercombe in goal I just feel he is more consistent and has a calmness around him, but it's a closer contest than earlier in the season. Berry McDonald Smith Butler would be the back four.
Hurst Richards Bell Murembedzi with Briscoe behind Marsh. We need to press Aldershot early on to set the pace of the game. Briscoe needs to start as he's the only potential match winner but up front in the box where he comes alive.
I think there will be a few questions asked if Nicholson puts out that teamPlainmoorB0b wrote:
Just hope there's some substance and a strategy which impressed in interview and not just an eagerness to please and a familiar face to remind us of happier days past.
So....
Speiss
Berry. MacDonald. Smith. Nicholson
Hurst Carmichael Heslop Butler
Marsh.
Briscoe as impact sub ( bit like a fat bloke bombing in a swimming pool)
Looks compact.
Reasonable energy
Bloody hope nico can cut it still

I was under the impression that Cox approached us - not the other way around.Gullscorer wrote: Well, he's certainly not that bad either, no worse than most of the managers we've had over the past few years. He did take us to the League Two play-offs.
As for not applying for the job, Paul Cox didn't apply, he was approached to discuss the matter before he was signed up. Perhaps the club owes Martin Ling the same courtesy, particularly given the manner of his dismissal last time.
However, the most important consideration is perhaps to employ the man who seems best able to motivate and organise the players already in our squad, given that we can't really afford new signings. Ling is one possibility, Joyce is another, and there may be other possibilities. The question is, who would accept the challenge, given our financial situation and the amount of money we have to offer?

Respect to him. he has actually put the club before his family.
Of course I do not know the finer details, BUT if this is the true situation the man deserves a lot of credit. Hargreaves "loved" the club, "bleeds" yellow, all that nonsense. Again I do not know if he is still being paid or was just sacked and is one of the ones claiming unfair dismissal but the general consensus is he is on gardening leave which means he is being paid. Im actually not criticising him as he had a contract but I wanted to point out the difference between the 2 men.
