Title: Billy Heath
Post by: bumble on February 04, 2017, 02:24:00 PM
Managing Halifax today having brought his ferriby mates with him.

I hope we can hire a man who can bring a big group of successful settled experience players with him to build around next year. Plus the additional money we have to bring a few more in.

The name that keeps occurring to me is Flanagan the Curzon manager. For them to be competitive in this league is like us being competitive in the league above. He's got them promoted twice, he obviously knows the NW scene.

I don't know if he'd fancy it but you could argue he's taken Curzon as far as he can and Alty would be a step up (even if it would involve a step down).

I'd love him here. Definitely my top choice. If Doughty gets the job I won't be attending next season.

If he did get offered the job the situation wouldn't be unlike clough with forest and Burton ? Footballing gamble rather than possible clash with owners side of things

What a dreadful brand of football Billy Heath plays. Ok, it's obviously pretty effective but I wouldn't want to watch that week in week out. They were tripe today, we never looked like scoring, so a 0-0 was the best we could have hoped for. Perfect game for John Cyrus to head everything and I thought Kyle Brownhill did well shielding the back four. Baffled how high they are in the league, they really are one of the worst teams I've seen this season.

My top choice is Martin McIntosh from Buxton. Bring as many of his squad with him that he wants and we will piss that tinpot league

Anyone who doesn't think next years manager will be doughty with a team of young local players (our reserves) with a plastic pitch to follow within a couple of seasons to make it  a truely "community sports club" plodding along in the northern premier league is kidding themselves. Wake up people, take back control of our club before it's too late. Andrew shaw isn't daft, he can see where they want to take it. A family business running a yoga club with a unibond league club as a spin off. Let's hope our core support rebel, we saw signs at Fylde and today, -and they've tackled bigger and harder thanthis

I think you are probably right. Cant believe what has happened to this club in the last 18 months. As soon as the 3G pitch comes in (so it can be rented out all week) I'm off.

Apparently they have no ambition to get in to the football league .

Like Sutton we have absolutely no ambition to be in the football league and therefore a 3/4/5G pitch is a superb idea.

Maybe I'm struck in the past, but for me football is to be played on grass. I have no interest in watching the ball bounce around a rubber crumb Astro.

If we have no ambitions to he in the football league then what's the point? It might be a very long way off but as supporters surely the dream is to see your club play at the highest level possible. We have been close to almost playing in the league befire why not in the future? This is typical of Rowleys smallmindedNess which has brainwashed everyone into thinking we shouldn't have ambition as a club.

The football league has moved away. All the immigrants. Best we can hope for is conference national

Absolute b*ll*cks, it's not a closed shop, it will take effort and a moneyman/men but not impossible and should remain our ambition.

I couldn't agree more, that's what got me any many others interested in this club-the football league has to be the ambition, otherwise what's the point ?

I hope we can hire a man who can bring a big group of successful settled experience players with him to build around next year. Plus the additional money we have to bring a few more in.

It's worth noting that to get two of his North Ferriby United mates to join him for the 2016/17 season cost in excess of £100,000.

Getting into the football league will require some serious expenditure. Staying there would require a lot more or gates of 2000+.

One challenge that would need to be overcome is the way the shares are distributed. I would expect anybody coming in with the right kind of wealth would want a majority shareholding. I know I would.

The conference national is virtually the football league anyway. It's mostly full time and the number of imports in the top two tiers has forced some of the homegrown talent further down the hierarchy.

Indeed. I was thinking exactly the same thing. That very average Halifax team you saw yesterday has been put together at great expense. Many Fax fans are unimpressed with Billy Heath.

I don't want Heath. But both Halifax and Salford in recent years have brought in managers who've brought a nucleus of players from their old club.

If we were to take a nucleus of A top Evo Stik side or decent conf north side then we'd be competitive when you add in our extra funds
