Burchnall

Sorry couldn’t help myself after a few wines! Thing is I don’t understand this obsession with former players and managers, Ardley’s been done to death, now Burchnall, not to mention Sam Osbourne and others. Burch didn’t get us promoted, he left for a higher job, can’t blame him. All that was said at the beginning and to me he became an irrelevance, whether he succeeds or fails I don’t give a s**t. I’m very happy he left as the replacement is an upgrade, we move on.

That's my view Cam 100%, every word.

However it's clear that there is a huge variance in terms of interest in former players, especially former managers and looking backwards at the past rather than to forwards to the future.

I imagine a few want him to succeed, a lot more will take great delight in him failing, and the majority won't care. He's ex-Notts County , and the ex part says it all. Old news.

Sliding doors moment for Burch? They would have climbed out of the bottom 4 for the first time this season (I think) had they won last night. Losing to somebody below you in that position is usually a death sign though. Still tight points-wise but the pressure will have increased enormously on the back of that result.
