    And just who do you get in January that is any good ?. I will tell you, its those that other clubs dont want, and the same applies to the manager role. The Bros have got it spot on. Its a good job you never worked for me. I dont tolerate losers...

    So maybe they gave some leeway to a successful coaching team that summer. But with how it went, both in terms of keeping some players who proved not to be up to it and LW leaving for a bigger job a few months later anyway, they probably won?t be doing it again.
    Loyalty to Cameron, Rawlinson, Brindley etc seems the only plausible reason why we didnt sign a single defender after our promotion. It was an odd decision even before we kicked a ball last season. LW must have a hand in that, but hopefully both he and the owners have learned from that experience.

    If Luke was coming back Id imagine it would be done by now.

    He is not coming back,. That bridge has been burnt. Why do some think we would take back an ar*ole like him, who even at Swansea tried to jump ship when things were going tits up.. The Bros are not that stupid to be done twice those by those sort of characters

    Any manager we do sign on will be somebody no-one else wants, or they wouln't be available. And those that aren't available are not necessarily good 'uns. This leaves us in rather a quandary, do we pay compo to another club for their hero? Or take a chance on a
    nobody's-ever-heard-of him, like...erm...let me think now.

    Didn’t we pay compo to Wealdstone for SM and the Saunders bros?

    I also think William?s coming back would be a mistake but not because he left us for a much better offer.
    Why do you take exception to a manager that doesn?t show blind loyalty to a club, when you?ve just spent most of the season wanting Maynard sacked. Where was your loyalty throughout last season? Surely it has to work both ways?
    I find it bizarre that fans take such exception to a player/manager that leaves us for progression. It happens in every walk of life so of course it?s going to happen in one of the most cutthroat and short lived industries on the planet.

    My loyalty was going to over 46 matches supporting the team, Not Maynard. It was a huge gamble giving him the job, as it became very clear early doors that he just wasnt up to it.. Ive no idea who will be our next Head Coach, but i sincerely hope its not Mr bullsh*t short corner..

    Yeah I get that, but why are you expecting a level of loyalty from managers that you would never give to them?
    You wanted SM sacked because you believed what SM offered wasn?t as good as a different manager would offer.
    LW left because he believed what Notts County offered him wasn?t as good as a different club could offer him.
    The concept is no different.
    And in the rare circumstance that someone in the game does pick loyalty and emotion over finance (McGoldrick), you spend the first 18 months of his contract slating him.
