It doesn’t really make much sense to me in a world where football fans call new clubs “plastic” and all “proper” clubs are expected to have a long history. Do we wish we were “big plastic morecambe”? I remember Derek trotting it out in an interview when we first started winning under him. It may even have been after the opening game where we beat Cheltenham away in the league two promotion season. I distinctly remember that (to his great credit) he came across as being very embarrassed by the phrase, as if someone had told him to say it and he’d very reluctantly agreed.

Maybe , although this could be jumping the gun , if John McMahon is punished by the EFL and has to stand down , maybe Derek back as "Director of football" , Ged as head coach and our new coach promoted to assistant manager.

As noted earlier, he's one of those that wants total control and that attitude can be a blessing and a curse. He let the ownership issues get to him - understandable but what could he do about it? Ged on the other hand says he wants to focus on what he can control - the football - and that's what we need from a manager right now.

A lot will depend on how our final 18 games go , we haven't won a home match for some time and those are the games 2,500 season ticket holders watch. It's very nice winning away for 130 or 200 fans but home matches are our bread and butter.
seeing the pre match interview it looks like Ged is singing from the same book as JB, hard to beat fighting for their lives etc.I hope he isn't setting us up not too lose tomorrow.Andy D wrote:Gone_Shrimping wrote:I don't think the King will be in a rush to return to management , certainly before the season end.

Home form is massive, it's that what let Jim Bentley down, we always played our best football away from home under Jim, but poor home form effected crowd figures and revenue.
