Jack Wheeler had been caretaker for all of that time.

To say Warnock couldn't get Scarborough out of tier 4 is disingenuous, he'd got them promoted to that level, consolidated well in their first ever FL season and then left them in an automatic promotion spot when he came to us (they were also averaging less than 3k, so very much overachieving).
So as I said, no league promotion on their CVs in response to 'We need experience a manger who has proven he or she can win and gain promotion.'

They were obviously seen as up and coming managers with potential and Sirrel was well known first hand to Dunnett at the time.

Anyway I'm looking forward to a woman taking on the role, surely there is one around who has gained a promotion
