Are there any candidates about??

Well, they’ve had fifteen managers (including ‘caretaker’) in the time that Jim has been manager of Morecambe, so that proves how successful swapping manager is.

Didn’t Freez and/or Glen Cooper apply for the Lancaster City or Southport vacancy once upon a time? Don’t think they got an interview but it would have made the shortlisting more interesting. I once won a Subbutio tournament with a 1-0-0-10 attacking formation, perhaps I should apply to Hartlepool? It does rely on a good goalkeeper & the long ball, but what do they have to lose?

As a joke I twice applied for the Blackpool job and received letters from a Mr O Oyston turning me down. I then applied for the England job when they sacked Glen Hoddle, but was turned down due to a lack of top flight experience.

Brian Clough once applied for the Morecambe job and was turned down due to a lack of experience! To square the circle, I think I’m right in saying, he went to Hartlepool instead!

Whether that's true or not, it makes a good story. The reason I doubt it is that no one in their right mind would admit to turning Cloughie down

Don't you mean well directed hoofball?

Hmmm that tactic seems somehow familiar....

Ah,yes but Keith had 10 in attack with only the goalie playing hoofball. We haven't tried that one yet!

But when is a hoofball a hoofball? Is it only a hoofball when hit in a straight forward line or does it require greater finesse to hit it on the diagnol?

I lean towards a diagonal cross field as a "hollywood" pass, rather than a hoof.

Drummy being the master of the floaty Hollywood pass. Must have been a nightmare for the winger waiting for that to drop with one eye on the on rushing full back!

That's exactly whom I was thinking of when I said it!!

Standard kick off for every game that Drummy was involved in.

Kick it back to Drummy, hoof / lofted pass as close to the corner flag as you can get it.

I remember my coach of days gone by saying "If they play a world cup ball, then fair play, just make sure you nail the guy he passes it to"
