Folk can nit-pick all they like but we have what we have, 1st & formost are our owners, they are class, no bold statements thrown out publicly, just walk the talk out of sight, we longed for this years ago & we now have it. Regards Edwards, as assistant he has dealt with top level footballers, some, no doubt prima donna's, that's where his worth comes into play. Forget about Orient etc, he is now at Meadow Lane.

Very good post.

I think we'll reach the point where any Coach refusing the job because of the structure looks more and more unreasonable.

By doing this they are saying....no, I don't want to collaborate. Yeah, you've been investing and building up this club for years, but I Barry Merrygoround should be the one to decide everything, just transfer all your funds to me and I will bring in some 'good lads' for you. I don't do meetings btw and I'm not all that interested in your data. Yeah, I knew about Football Radar and all that but I'm applying for the job anyway on my terms. Just trust me, Barry Merrygoround.

Nice post ! just to echo these thoughts , who in their right mind would refuse to use data to help them in their job to produce a winning team.?
Possibly a Ron Atkinson Type,?! The days of the dinosaurs are coming to an end.

Spot on, i regret not saying simular.These owners of ours just think differently to the majority in leagues one & two, they got our team playing possesion based in the National cloggers league, pretty much unheard of until they did it........and got us promotion.
The bros will get us promoted without the boom & or bust method that has been a mass failure over the years, they have plenty of money but they have the ethos of not getting on the moneygoround and buying has beens looking for last pay days, NCFC is being run correctly and will probably bring the brothers a huge profit in a few years as we wont be saddled with debt and we maybe have a Championship side.
