The Bonner drama

He has ruled himself out of the Luton job, and any other saying he is committed to the Cambridge cause. Committed is a key word here as the prospect of him being committed to a psychiatric hospital must be high in some peoples mind.

He is doing himself no favours, having said that im sure his pay slip is not lacking.

The new Brighton manager has failed at every club hes managed, apart from the one before Brighton. It suggests, and is true that managerial talent is thin on the ground.

If he is afraid of failure, then he need not be, he could fail at Luton and still be a contender elsewhere. What he is depriving himself of is experience, and thats badly needed. Staying at Cambridge wont provide that.

He is signed up to zero transfer funds, free transfers, 4,000 fans, if that, due to diminish rapidly on relegation, and eternal struggle.

Any normal club, having got out of div 4, would be plotting promotion to the championship.

Not Cambridge.

Just staying in div 1 is a win. He has even said he will stay till fired. He isnt short of brains, he cant expect loyalty from players while considering other jobs. And any future club can count on his loyalty.

Who knows what his fate will be. He is showing a lack of aspiration, and he isnt exploring his potential.

At all.

What path awaited him if he took the Rotherham job, or the Luton one. ? We will never know. When Cambridge hit skid row, so will he.

The worst thing in old age is regrets, he will have plenty. On the other hand, if your a Ukrainian soldier on the battle field, and your best mate gets hit in the leg. Do you stay or go, the Russians are coming.

Bonner would stay. Admirable.
