Maynard GONE [Official]

Mourinho went back to Chelsea and won another Premier League title. Rodgers went back to Celtic and has so far won 4 out of 5 trophies (may be 5 out of 6 after today.) Zidane went back to Madrid and won another title and UCL... I can probably do more if I think about it.

In short, it can go either way.

It's all about whether the returning manager is the right man for the job. If we re-hire LW, it should be because he's the best candidate, not because he managed here previously.

I'll be relieved if it is LW, but not over confident that he will get us up.

Getting out of League two isn't a given for anyone. Salford have hit a major barrier at this level after motoring through the non-league. I'm not sure how long it would take Luke Williams to get us promoted, but I'm confident that I would be excited and entertained by the way we play in most games, which I perhaps took a little bit for granted when he was here previously. A year and a half of watching Maynardball (not to mention Ardleyball and Burchball in previous years) has heightened my appreciation of the entertainment value Williams' team provided, even when we lost.

Absolutely true. If the club has someone in mind who they believe could match or surpass Williams in terms of entertainment and results, then by all means run with that candidate.
