Any instability at our main rivals can only be welcomed. ;D

;D

I'd take a punt on Matt Doughty or Neil Young if I was their chairman...

Round those parts they could do worse than to appoint Sinnott tbh

You’d assume he’ll look to take a few Shaw Lane players with him too, as normally happens in these situations. Whoever replaces him will have very big shoes to fill, this fella took them from nothing to where they are today. I’d take this as a very big blow to one of our main title rivals, excellent.
-
I’m not so sure, he’s had pretty unlimited funds far beyond anything else in any of the leagues he’s taken them through. Boston will be a different kettle of fish. The bookies seem to have taken note of his departure with shaw lanes odds drifting this evening
-
Just goes to show how quickly momentum can potentially change.
Let's hope we don't see anything to tempt our own manager away any time soon.
-
The new Shaw Lane manager is Paul Quinn, who was previously the Brighouse Town manager before leaving in the summer (I think). They have had a similar rapid rise through the leagues to Shaw Lane, although not quite as meteoric.
He is the son of Gerry Quinn, who of course managed us 25 years ago; apologies if that makes anyone feel old.

Let's hope he's as good at his new job as his dad was for us! ;)
PS: Don't need that to make me feel old - the 10 grandchildren (and an 11th due in February) do a good job of that!!!! :D ::)

Should they be underwhelmed with this appointment ? ......or is it just me

It's a slightly odd one, but may be inspired. He is still in his early thirties, but, in his six seasons at Brighouse, they never went backwards, finishing 4th, 2nd and 1st in the Northern Counties East League Premier, and then 15th, 15th and 9th in the NPL Div 1 North.
On the other hand, he has never managed at this level, and, also, got sent off from the dugout on the one occasion I have been to Brighouse so there may be a doubt as to his temperament.
It is a bit as if we had taken a chance and appointed Phil Parkinson in 2016, not that I am aware of him applying then. Even though he had never managed in the National League North, I think we would probably have ended up with a better season
-
Thanks for the data .....some logic in the appointment then
We could have appointed Cecil Parkinson as manager last season and probably been no worse off come April 2017 ::)

10 in the conference and brought in the likes of Carmody,Harris and France

Gerry Quinn did an excellent job for us. He assembled a good team with one of the smallest budgets in the Conference. We had a great FA Cup run to the 2nd Round & finished 10th in the league, with a particularly strong finish.
Gerry was very unfortunate to lose his job at the end of October the following season. His last home game was a victory over Slough, who were top of the table at the time. Cue John Maunders returning to the board & the manager is out within a fortnight. ::)

Well said, Mister Flynn.
Plus Gerry Quinn's recruitment of towering centre forwards was impeccable.
-
Might be wrong but I thought Accrington at home in the cup did for Quinn, after the Slough game? He might have then had an away match lost and that was it.
Certainly an underrated manager for us and some happy memories of his tenure.

Yes, that 2-0 home defeat in the FA Cup plus the somewhat bizarre Tim Clarke/Wayne Baker/Lee Spencer goalkeeping saga proved to be a mortal blow to Gerry Quinn.
His final game in charge was a 1-0 defeat at Kettering Town on the following Saturday (30th October 1993).
-
Wayne Baker! He was dreadful!!

Hardly surprising, since he's an anagram of EBay wanker ;D

How very touchy and protective of you! My reference (although admittedly I didn't spell it out) was to the fact that his dad took us to 10th in the conference - a position I was hoping Paul Quinn would emulate for Shaw Lane this year! Leaving us with one fewer rival for promotion!
-
Gerry Quinn did a very good job for a year on a limited budget with players mostly from the league below.....then starved of resources I think he just lost his way at that level....nice bloke as well.....
he bought us mick carmody Richard harris and paul france didn't he?
weird how Charlie bradshaw just fell apart when spurs lost interest in him...

I don't recall whether any money changed hands (it certainly is a rarity in our case), but they were certainly excellent signings who went on to serve the club well.
