Win rate at Northampton not good, but he led Newport, hardly a fashionable side, out of the National League with a win rate of 41% and he had a similar win rate when he moved from Newport to Gillingham. My preference is Richard Money or Ronnie Moore but as the club stands at present, I think we are very limited for choice. i am told by 'someone who claims to be in the know' that Chris Todd is stiil in the frame. I don't know if this is genuine or if it's guess work. All will no doubt be revealed .......... eventually.
I would imagine that all of the inexperienced / inexpensive options are still in the frame! Chris McPhee will be the next name to pop up
At this rate the club will be crawling back to Nicho, cap in hand, "Ever so sorry Mr Nicholson, we got it all wrong, you can have your old job back - we just couldn't find anyone else to do the job." Laughing stock does not even begin to describe our club at the moment.

I can see your points tomo. Guiseley is not on my top 50,000 places i'd wish to live in the UK but i've seen worse. Luton is a bonafide shithole. Accrington also falls into that category without dispute. Doncaster also having been born and brought up there i can vouch. There are others.
They are a small club and i think they manage themselves admirably. IMO their squad on paper is much better than the one down at TQ1.
I also cannot see why Cox would plump for Guiseley with all due respect to them but on the flipside I can see totally why he wouldn't want to return to Torquay.
It will be interesting to find out what happens now but on the basis that they are a well run club looking to progress gradually, have Cox at the helm and have a decent squad then one thing is for certain, they will finish above Torquay this season. Whether it will be enough to keep them up i don't know.
I bow to your greater knowledge of Yorkshire, Andy. Er ...... I take it you don't work for either the Yorkshire or Lancashire Tourist Boards, then? As for bliddy Guiseley, the only thing that keeps them in the National League is the knowledge that they can pick up six points from Torquay every season .......

Has somebody seriously mentioned Edinburgh no thank you when he came to Northampton I thought it was a good appointment but dear god he bloody awful no tactical awareness he has signed lots of rubbish players on a decent budget definitely not Edinburgh please.
Okay - we'll quickly cross off Justin Edinburgh from the list ...... assuming that there is still an actual list. Maybe there will be an announcement tomorrow in time for their tame sports journalist to spread the news in large print in Wednesday's Herald Express?
Come on GI, you absolute cretins. Sort out our new manager, you **** bastards.
Laughing stock of the National League thanks to the apparent inability to name a new manager whilst other clubs around us hire new managers within a week of sacking theirs. Absolute **** joke.
Returning to the matter of Paul Cox getting a new job at Guisley, that leaves us supposedly with Ronnie Moore and Richard Money as favoured candidates with Chris Todd lurking in the wings. Paul Cox was never likely to come back to the Bay as he is based in Nottingham and he apparently missed his family terribly missed his family last time he was at TUFC. Ronnie Moore seems also to be based in Norhern England and he has never really stayed anywhere for very long - to use the old joke about Tony Hateley (remember him?), he's had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus. Richard Money would be a good candidate but I'm guessing that he's based in Eastern England (Norwich, Cambridge etc). Being of a similar age to both these last two candidates I'm not sure that I'd like to be taking on a project as big as TUFC in my '60's, particularly with such interfering 'management' above me. That leaves us with.......er, Chris Todd. What's the betting?
Not this season we didn't buddy...........this season is relevant; once they are done and dusted, the last two season's aren't. No points are carried over!

Relevant for your weak argument you mean.....4 games is hardly a decent factual base is it!
You are just assuming he would lose the other 4 played since then and that assumption is just your opinion rather than fact (and previous evidence with a far more sound evidence base suggests this 'opinion' is likely to be wrong!).
Still - don't let that get is the way of your desperate need to belittling all others which do not share your 'opinions' buddy.......
