Our new manger was offered the job today and it was Forster.

Just like to add don't hold me to that. Just what I have been told from a person in the know.

Better start thinking about some new songs to sing then!

'SUPER, SUPER NICK, SUPER, SUPER NICK, SUPER NICKY FORSTER'

Anyone got any better ones?

I hope it is him for two reasons. I have a feeling he'll do well (based only on intuition).

I've also got £15 on him at 20/1.

Come on Nicky! ^.^

I would of liked Hughes but I am more than happy with Forster. I think Hughes is down to take over at gas when **** buckle gets sacked for fielding Bevan as a lone striker. Apparently Forster will put pen to paper on Saturaday afternoon.

Great news if true!

...can I ask if the person that told you is reliable(has been correct in information previously?)

Yes he was a Torquay legened. Though he did say originally Hargreaves was a done deal but know says he was going to get the job but the calibre of applicants surprised the board.

Wow, you have been talking to Tim Rice

i know chris hargreaves was interviewed yesterday and in his words "I feel i have a good chance of getting the job"

That's great news! Hopefully he'll convince brano to sign and zebroski to stay

Did he say who his number 2 would be?

Not sure about this, although not saying it's not true, if you see what I mean. I did speak, personally, to someone (very reliable) at the club yesterday (about 2pm) and this person said that they still had one more person to interview today (He actually turned up whilst I was there) plus another couple on Monday. This person said that the board were weighing up between experience/non experienced which was a difficult decision. I was told that it should be made official by 5pm Monday.

Person, also said, that next season is going to be a tough one, on the pitch. Was also VERY angry with the way a certain PB left the club.

Great news if it is true, we'll have a good young manager who is obviously ambitious and will hopefully very popular with fans.

That and my wallet will be £450 heavier

Out of interest - who was the guy who turned up when you where there??

Has to be Forster surely.

Although not greatly experienced, has at least run a L1 club for half a year as opposed to an U16 team, has plenty of contacts, has the coaching badges (per his Twitter a/c ) and is in the mould of Buckle, ambitious and we'll get a few quid when he hopefully moves on after being succesful.

Its a no to any of the Jocks and I'm afraid to say Hargreaves (legend that he is).

Russell i'd be open minded to.
