Abit underwhelmed with the new manager, apparently his assistant though is very highly thought of. Feel like we've got no money thesedays.

Me too CF, quite a bit underwhelmed

We shouldn't have been surprised though. Were the Burchnall, Williams hires any different to Maynard and Paterson's really? They were all obscure, unexpected picks.

The Bros have the right to run the club, make these crucial picks...and then they'll have to live with the results. We are the same club that appointed Kiwomya, Fullarton, Ince, Branson - nobody would want a return to those days.

But Paterson's hire is not in the same category as Maynard's, which really was nuts, in one crucial sense.

Maynard played his football at Aylesbury and places like that, coached part-time at L6 and L5. It was always going to difficult to be the boss of seasoned pros like Didzy, JJ, Crowley, Nemane etc who had been on the books of bigger clubs. He would have to ingratiate himself to them to coach them, such a position of weakness really.

Paterson will think the opposite. He's an international capped 20+ times and plied his trade at Championship level. He'll have no inferiority complex dealing with L2 players and will be able to lead from a position of authority. He seems like his a tougher character anyway. And that make sense. It takes a winner to build a pro career, something the club missed with the last hire.
