[Ashley Alty]

Players just arriving at the ground (Moss Lane) now.  I wonder if it is to meet the new manager? 

They are in their club tracksuits so maybe they will do a btit of training, warm up, practice to show him what they can do?

RESERVES AT THE JDS

On Monday night (24th) at 7.45pm, the Reserves play Congleton Vale at the J Davidson Stadium, Moss Lane, and entry is free of charge. The Reserves drew 3-3 at home to Malpas on Saturday.

Thank you

Nantwich's match report advises that Phil Parkinson missed the playoff game due to "work commitments". 

Unless his gaffer is rather cruel, I'd suggest that is the biggest indicator yet that they have asked him not to take the team and he is coming to us.

Cannot argue with that. Nantwich will rightly feel pissed off.

I think you're probably right mate.

It also begs the question, who is going to be leading us out on Saturday?

For me there is nothing to gain to from the new manager doing that on Saturday if he is appointed this week.   Let Dens and Moult do it, he should watch on.

The Nantwich manager would be a decent choice hope it's him

[andrewflynn]

What a sad state of affairs. If it's him, it shouldn't have happened like this.

It shouldn't have, but I'm afraid that, yet again, it's that down side to social media that I so despise.

There are plenty of measures that could, and should have been taken to ensure it didn't have a chance of ending up on social media in the first place.

I reckon Graham Rowley should lead the team out on Saturday, then at 5.00pm announce his resignation from the Chairmanship.
Then at least the worst two seasons in recent history will have a satisfactory conclusion for a lot of fans..

I'd hope the new manager would watch Saturday's game, watch it and weep. It's absolutely vital that he sees firsthand how dreadful our team is, but I wouldn't want him in charge - that just wouldn't be fair. What I want him to be doing is listing all the best players in Evostik and getting on the blower to them.

Should be looking to speak to players in the leagues above also, as there are always players looking to drop a few levels for whatever reason. This is one potential problem with appointing a manager who doesn't have a great deal of experience managing in non league above the level he is currently at. It's all good and well knowing the best players in the Evostick but I think we need to have bigger ideas if we want to bounce back up straight away. To build a squad of just the best Evostick players would be a gamble IMO (and that's presuming they would actually want to come).

[Alty Bri]

The trouble is, you can't hire somebody who ticks every box. You either go for a big name who perhaps has little idea of the level we'll be entering, or you hire somebody who knows the new level but perhaps not alot higher.

I do basically agree with what you are saying though. Suffice to say, a lot of new players are needed.

If we can afford to if the investment happens we should be looking at players good enough for national north play off places , although  he wouldn't come back players of the calibre of Scott Leathet

[Alty Bri]

I'm sure Scott is no different from any other player in that he'll go wherever he gets paid the most. Much will depend on the level of investment we have been told about.
