We're not in Trew/Fullarton territory by any means - the owners still have plenty of credit in the bank with most fans - but putting an Alves or a Solberg in charge at this moment would indeed be underwhelming, to say the least, and would put either of them under pressure from day one. It's a moment to go with an appointment that's sensible and demonstrably sound.
I fear that the appointment will provoke more questions than answers
So you want a successful manager, that's been heard of, that's willing to be a manager of a league 2 club that's "right" for the league? Were these the characteristics of Williams and Burchnall?Quote:

If we want a manager with more success than failure on their CV then like any other club we will have to look down not up and there?s the issue, below is non league or foreign leagues and there?s the issue for many fans.
I doubt we will bring in anyone with a strong enough personality to challenge the way the club has done things in the last few yearsQuote:

I hope you're right. Not in terms of having a strong personality of course, but in terms of challenging their employer.Quote:
