If Alty sack Gh we will be in trouble as know-on will want to take over a part-time team in a full time league with very little funds avalible.
Utter drivel.
How is it?
GH knows the history behind the club, he's been a player and is now the manager, and he successfully got us promoted. Can you think of any manager currently out of work, who would really want to come hear, where there are hardly any funds to buy players in, so that we can stay up. If you ask me if any of the other manager in the conference who found them selfs in the position we are in, they would have packed their bags and walked months ago. However, GH knows the majority of fans are behind him so he has chossen to stay.
OK, a hypothetical scenario:
Let's say that GH decides to leave his post at Moss Lane for whatever reason e.g. personal/family/football/health.
We know that one day this event will happen because (unless he is hiding something from us!) he is not immortal.
Are you seriously suggesting that if the Board advertised the vacant post of manager, not a single soul would apply for the job?
It would surely appeal to a host of prospective managers, whether they were experienced or just making their way in the game or employed elsewhere as a manager or even 'inbetween jobs'.
It seems to me that it is an insult to the current Board to say that nobody would want to work for them after they have done so much to put this club on such a sound financial footing.
After all, any new manager would inherit an honest and dedicated Board of Directors; a club in a healthier financial situation than it has experienced for years and a loyal fanbase who are (largely) incredibly tolerant and understanding of the difficulties faced by the club at this level of the Non League structure.
If coming to Alty is so unattractive, what on earth is Graham Barrow thinking by joining us?
So, please....let's bury this myth that nobody would take on the job if GH left.
Altrincham FC is bigger than any individual.
Even Ian Tunnacliffe.
