Nothing against them at all but by the end of this season I would like to have seen we've challenged for the top spot.
Managers take you up, if that wasn't the case you could pull random names out the hat. Dave Challinor isn't randomly successful, he succeeded at Colwyn Bay then Fylde, then Hartlepool then Stockport. John Askey, Paul Cook and yes, Neal Ardley consistently get teams to do well. There's nothing random about it, some know how to do it the rest fall by the wayside.
The owners are spending a small fortune, they're certainly not breaking even so I don't understand why they're skimping on the most important employee at the club.
Having said that, Luke Williams is the manager and I hope he takes us up and gets a fair crack at it now he's here.
