📝 New Manager [Luke Williams Appointed]

[caj85]

I wonder how it works with these part-time teams in practice. Presumably is must be a bit chaotic, with everyone having slightly different commitments outside of football. And how does it work with fully professional players who join them? I can't imagine Colclough, for example, went part-time when he signed for them. So does he just train more than the part-timers.

What amazes me is how these teams manage to hold their own against teams like Notts. Didn't Alty beat us at home both of the last two seasons? It's bonkers if you think about it.

Didn't Altrincham have players missing from our home game against them because they had other commitments, that must be a difficult aspect to manage with.

I do remember reading about how there's a large element of part time players refusing offers from league teams because they earn much more money playing part time and having a job.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I think Kings Lynn have a decent player who is also a financial advisor. So he's almost certainly making more money in his day job than he is as a footballer. I just can't believe these teams manage to compete against teams that are fully pro.

Actually I’ve been that busy on this report I’ve not even updated everything on the Notts Stats website after the Grimsby game, mind you that’s not necessarily a bad thing!

Judging by this article in the Torygraph, if any club can tempt Neil Warnock out of retirement (again) it wouldn't ever be Notts.

There are few other regrets, despite turning the Chelsea job down when at Notts County. Instead he wishes he had managed Sunderland, Bristol City, Portsmouth and Ipswich, all clubs he had a chance to at some point.

Was he referring to Sunderland coming in for him in May 1992 there? If so, it would have almost certainly worked out better for all concerned had he taken that job then.

Another name that seems a new addition to the odds list is Anthony Limbrick, Aussie (hope he is better than the last one) Currently manages TNS. Hits the betting at 12/1

Limbrick plays a 4-3-3 attacking formation that focuses on building from the back and getting the ball forward in a variety of ways. He emphasizes a fast-paced game and the importance of passing in the final third. Because of his high-pressing, his team tries to win the ball back quickly after being dispossessed to prevent being caught out of shape. His style of play and philosophy has been successful throughout his career so far but he will look to further develop and adapt his tactics as he continues along with his coaching career. full article on link below.

Maybe he was there all along, I just don't remember seeing his name.

It’s interesting that hardly anyone is on here campaigning for anyone and probably shows the challenge Notts have. I was thinking earlier do they make a statement and go for the likes of Sam Ricketts, but then again thought, is he actually any good? As the initial hype around him died down when he had the Shrewsbury job.

A few very good managers in NLS. Ebbsfleet manager fits the criteria but just signed a new contract, Maidstone manager has good credentials but he’s 51 now so don’t know, plus again he just got them promoted as champions by quite a gap. Young manager at Oxford City, likes a wing back and is only 31, just missed out in the play-offs.

Problem is they’re all already working on their own projects so hard to prise away.

There’s also a LWB at Oxford City I like called George Harmon, scores goals as well and good at his defending duties when needed.
