That's going to disrupt them before our game, not an attractive gig for Phil/Neil either.

Lets capitalise on this next weekend.

Timing could have been worse for us if the new manager was in post. Hopefully he (or she?) won't be in place before Saturday.

Dean Holdsworth was appointed to a director of football role there three weeks ago. Coincidence? I think not. Expect to see him in the dugout sooner rather than later. This has clearly been on the agenda for their board for a while.

No fear of them leaving Alty for a club any lower than the Championship in my opinion.  They are not motivated by money alone and have shown themselves to be loyal and committed to our club. Phil will see that we reach the EFL2 and then it will be his nature to extend his ambition to win a place in the EFL1.  By then he and Sorvs will definitely on the radar of some much bigger clubs, however, if you were him wouldn't you be tempted with the drive and ambition to push on with Alty.?

This may seem unlikely to some and when I was at Moss Lane watching Alty play Wigan Athletic in a 1974 Northern Premier League match it never crossed my mind that the visitors were going to become a future FA Cup winning Premier League Club. Wimbledon achieved the same thing only their rise began in the Southern League (they might even achieve something akin to it again).  Luton were in the National League just 10 seasons ago.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Burton were regulars in the Championship and overtook us from below

They've appointed Phil Brown!

That's me convinced that they're done for.

That's not the ex Southend, Barrow etc bloke?
He's probably had more tanning sessions than the legendary Phil 'Pancho' Wilson!

Also he's only about eight years younger than me! 🤯

I hadn't seen that coming and nor had most Kidderminster supporters who don't seem very impressed.

Apparently, I'm told, there's only one tanning salon in the town so this probably will be a short-term appointment.  ;D
