Another Sacked

Yesterdays man now is Neil. I think he will struggle to find another job at national league level now after 3 sackings.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they go in to admin…. No way they’d sack him given what he’s done for that club

2nd longest serving in the division (9 years) at one of the very lowest supported clubs in the FL. His contract was due to expire at the end of the season, so either they must think they can make the play offs by making the change now or there's something else to this. You would have thought they'd have granted him a dignified exit after the service he's given. OK they've lost their last 3 but two of those were away including Wrexham. Looks a strange one from the outside.

Strange bordering on ridiculous on face value. Their last two seasons have been a bit of a struggle, but thanks to John Coleman they're struggling (a little) at least two divisions higher than they're entitled to expect to be.

Wooooahhhhh!!!!!!
Didn't see that coming just yet, but yeah, proof if anymore was needed just how utterly useless he is.
Note that Solihull, who he left languishing in 15th, are currently 4th. He never fails to fail, I'm sure he will be looking at himself in the mirror tonight.

Dont forget the tool got us relegated when he started 7 points above macclesfield

There was an article a few years back that stated there are several clubs who openly said they aren't really bothered about attendance income at all.

They say all this about attendence income, but its what they do that matters - as in why do all clubs in the higher divisions keep increasing the capacities of their stadiums

In the Prem they are less dependent on attendances as the TV money is crazy and the sponsorship they can get off the back of it but for a club like ours it’s the absolute lifeblood.

It's very wise for football clubs to maximise income streams that don't depend on people attending matches. Even at our level we've seen evidence of how fickle fans can be in their attitudes, not least on a message board like this, and how quickly good work and results over two or three years can be dismissed in the wake of two or three defeats. As a business, you would realise that any strategy too dependent on such 'customers' is a house built on sand, and so the more you can diversify into general revenue streams not so dependent on the moods and attendances of your own local supporters, the more secure you will be.

Or we could just spend the time and effort in getting in a good goalkeeper and a couple of defenders
