Hope Brass is part of the team. When he was added is when things started to turn round and loved the passion he brought with him.

That will almost certainly be the case, be amazed if taylor remains. Knill and Brass + Kenny.

Brassy not been approached by Torquay by the club to come back. I saw him this morning and asked about rumours he's taking over Accrington as Manager no comment from him! Bury players want him back at Bury although they are saying he's been offered assistant manager at another club. Didn't want to push him for an answer as shopping with his wife!

I can't imagine Knill will take the job without Chris Brass joining him. They come as a pair don't they?
Very good news, I am pleased as punch!

I am pleased to hear this news, and it seems the majority of correspondents here are too. I am, however, minded of a different reaction when Mr. Ling was appointed, somewhat out of the blue. Usually I pay no heed whatsoever to 'opinions' on this site, but those who initially doubted Mr. Ling have, in the long run, been proved correct, as have the far more extreme doubters from Cambridge who voiced their opinions loudly and clearly in the weeks following his appointment. Bearing all this in mind, it seems that the appointment of Mr. Knill bodes well for the future.
But remember - WE WANT PROMOTION!

I hope Brass is part of the package as i can't see Knill being able to work with Taylor.

Do we really want pronotion though? really? I don't. I want a nice boring midtable snooze. For a change. Hope Brass is not a deal-breaker...

I would hope we all go into a new season hoping for promotion. I know I do. The question of if we're likely to get promotion is a different matter. All down to the difference between hope and expectation

Surely we all want promotion, no?
