Shaun Taylor to be assistant....

[hector]

Quite happy with the appointment of Taylor. Important, I think that Ling has his own man as no.2 but welcome the addition of Russell if that happens. That looks a useful coaching staff.

[oxgull]

This is a very good appointment IMO. They know each other, get on and Shaun is well known as a non nonsense defender from his playing days so you get the impression that aspect of the club, at least, can only benefit. As for his touchline presence and the anticipated re-appearance of a certain Gatwick Town manager to Plainmoor? That will be worth paying the entrance fee on its own :devil: Good news And Aggy coming back? Lets hope so. Got me shades on I'm sooo upbeat now. (despite losing my job this week!!).

[Bloggy]

So is this official yet?
Pictures on OS show them shaking hands but text says he's 'set to be'?
He either is or he isn't?
Sorry... it must be my age, but I'm confused!

[Glostergull]

Hahahaha. Right there, my Post of the Month sorted.

Is it obligatory that one must have all fingers in pies at once, or may one take a short period of leave between one pie and the next?

Is there a ranking of pies? Does apple come ahead of Rhubarb? Must one alternate between savoury and sweet?

SO. MANY. QUESTIONS...

Matt.

Well Thats a lot to ponder. Lets look at it this way. (he stands upside down on chair and falls over)
If you multiply by Pi or divide by pi r squared (sorry dont know how to find the symbols on my keyboard) take away the tangent of Sid james you will find that weigh a pi (way up high for those who cant see that far) is by far the lightest crust.
This tends to sit well with the sweet pies and so Apple comes before Blackberry with Blackcurrant and rapsberry next. coming up the rear is blueberry, which I am sure you will find is less taste but more filling
Now if you add Pi and multiply by Sid james. It will equal to steak and ale. or even Magners and pork. This can cause excess gas. As this is a sore point at the moment you need to up the anti and cook at higher temperature so Gas mark 5 is needed. This will ensure a hot reception back at Plaimoor. Sprinkle with tabasco and chilli pepper. Worcester sauce and hopefully even Fatty Evans will find it too hot to handle. Raynor will probably exceed expectations and lock himself in the loo breaking Paul Bastards record and we will not find him untill the next weeks game.
Furry Pi. This will have a similar affect except that if fed to Evans will ensure he is kept quiet for the next week as he will be permenantly locked in a little room with high explosive warning signs outside (or should that be high expletive warning signs)
Please note. 2 sweetie pi will not equaly Mc Squared. ( thats M C squared not a new big mac). whereas 1 x savoury is greater than unsavoury especialy the flavour that PB left in. if you add 2 unsavoury plus 1 savoury. you will get 1.5 sweetie pi. this will please West Bay as she has a soft spot for sweetie pi especialy if cooked by CH.
The only spanner if the works is Missisippi Mud Pie. Does this go with ice cream and fruit or chips and peas with gravy.
I can only suggest that you ask the Kids (no not the numpties on this board, I mean real Children) The answer is usualy Yuk!
There will be one side product that will possibly provide extra revenue out of this for the club and enable us to afford Alex Russel. This is rocket fuel as we happen to be running short of (Shaun) North Sea oil .
So you see my good fellows (he says in his best Eccles type talking voice) this is the slickest explanation I can come up with.
I do Hope this has cleared up all your queeries he says as he has a double helping of whipped cream on apple pie.
If not it is as clear as mud as I can make it

He's a Devonian too-not many Managers/Assistants for Gulls have been Devon lads(think Colin Lee may have been the only other one?)

So he wants to be a manager and likes to play hoof-ball!!

[cambgull]

Not sure if he really means he wants to play hoof-ball, just wants to do what needs to be done to win. I'm happy with that, I'd rather play a good mix of football and long ball if it means we're winning games regularly.

Correct, you can't Play football every game- especially when your losing in the last few minutes

[cambgull]

It would be nice to have another footballing style to change to when we end up going to some team like Accrington in the middle of winter with a crap pitch and playing football on the ground just isn't going to work. A ruthless approach to the last 20 minutes is a MUST too, no more losing leads!

[Dave]

i just read though that interview,and to be quite honest i cant see where Taylor talks about playing out and out hoof-ball,i take the sentiment of it to mean,the team will get the ball down and play when it can,and if needs must will go long,nothing wrong in trying to mix things up a bit.

[Regiment]

sounds good to me. in a situation like we had at OT, where Buckle didn't push Branno up front til about the 94th minute, and go direct, hopefully the new management team will be a bit more open to changing things when the need arises. i feel really positive about Ling and Taylor, and looking forward to seeing what they do over the next couple of weeks in terms of players, and then how they shape things once the serious business starts in August. Hopefully aswell, this will send the right signals to the players we currently have, and we'll see no more heading for the exit.

[Trojan 67]

You would imagine that the likes of Robertson and Ellis in particular would benefit hugely from having such a good centre half coaching them - indeed the defence as a whole can surely learn from him.

Don't forget young Ed Palmer. Taylor's role includes coaching the youth/junior pros to full competent first team squad.

As Dinger slowly, but surely sets about his task, the clouds of negativity are disappearing one by one.

[Rjc70]

Is Taylor a cross dresser, then?
