I think this is a good appointment. As Dingle sez, he knows the lower leagues and has certainly served his managerial apprenticeship.

I wish him the all the very best. I've seen his teams play on 3 occasions, 2 on TV and the 1-1 draw with Port Vale at Oakwell in the Duff season where he made telling substitutions and a tactical change at 1 nil down to earn vale a deserved draw on the night. I was impressed by his teams workrate and the kind of football they were trying to laik. He is going to need some serious backing because without that, then tha may as well pack it in.

The recruitment team have a heck of a lot to do in these next couple o months. Give Darrell something to work with instead of the approach we took last summer where his predecessor was handed a very raw deal in terms of our recruitment. Learn some fecking lessons and give this club a chance. The way we approached last season was frankly a disgrace. The path that we chose to get our recruitment was unacceptable and also the failure to add any experienced players was a massive blunder. As I say, i urge the board to learn some bloody lessons.
