Welcome to Alty
-
Welcome and Good Luck.
-
is the new manager.
apparently.
dont shout if im wrong!
-
Well that means Reeves should stay next season then. And potentially a car load of yorkshiremen to boot.
-
Well done the board. Good sensible appointment, lower league and non league experience and on a tight budget too.
-
he gets about a bit!
-
welcome but may i ask who you are hehehe. Never heard of him tbh.

farsley celtic

Did he take Farsley up and then joined Port Vale but it didn't work out?
Welcome Lee....seems like a good solid appointment.
Few more Carmo's and Franny's be nice as well.
Got to be good news for keeping Clee and Reeves?

Welcome to Alty Lee.

Welcome and good luck Lee!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Sinnotthttp://
had to google him, as unfortunately still new to non league so names mean nothing to me ???
been at BPA, farsley, and port vale - so experienced
From wiki - He achieved enormous success as manager of Farsley Celtic, most notably winning promotion three times in four seasons AND this made me a bit happy
" Remarkably in 2007 Sinnott steered the club to a third promotion in four seasons when Farsley finished 5th in the Conference North and won promotion to the Conference National again via the playoffs. Farsley beat favourites Kettering in the semi final and then Hinckley in the final at Burton Albion's Pirelli Stadium. In the final Farsley Celtic had been 3-2 down with just over 10 minutes remaining before 2 late goals saw a remarkable comeback and a 4-3 victory."
BRING ON BUXTON!!!!!

Welcome to Alty, Lee. All the very best of luck, we'll give you our full support.
-
Was last at Bradford PA in 2009.
-
He got Farsley promoted to the Conference and Damien Reeves was in his squad there.
Good appointment in my view, let's get on with the job.
-
Sounds like a good solid appointment, knows the BSN and BSP and loacl, plus Yorks connection, seems like he has been out of work lately and must be keen to get going and move us forward.
Does anyone know what style of play he favours, big hoof or keep it on the deck?
-
Seems like an excellent choice!
Lots of BSN experience - successful there too on a budget!
Welcome Lee, and good luck guiding the Might Supers back where (we think) they belong! You can do it :D

As long as he doesn't sign any donkeys!

From what I can recall of his playing days, he wasn't one to pussy foot around ::)
-
His management record is P 264 W 115 D 80 L 69
Divide it by 6 to achieve an average "season" P 44 W 19 D 13 L 12 (approx) which gives 70 points.
At least keep it up, and he'll do for me !

our last meetings with Lee Sinnott:
Farsley 1 Alty 1
Altrincham failed to capitalize on the dismissal of Farsley's dangerous striker, Damien Reeves, eight minutes before half-time with this draw game at a rain-soaked Throstle Nest. Before his second yellow card, for an elbow on Lane who had to be substituted with a facial injury, Reeves had fired Farsley ahead following Tinson's misheader (13 mins). Earlier Reeves had been booked for barging Tinson off the pitch into the hoardings. Despite ten second-half corners and a number of close shaves for the Farsley defence, Alty only managed one goal, when Little bundled in Senior's ball from the right by-line (67 mins). Logan was Alty's most dangerous player but this will be seen as two points lost for Altrincham given their one-man advantage for such a long period. A win would have taken Alty out of the relegation spots for the first time this season but instead they remain 21st in the table
Alty 0 Farsley 0
Altrincham played out only their second goalless draw of the season (the game against Burton was the other) after dominating the second half but failing to score, with King's drive against the bar the nearest to breaking the deadlock. The first half was delayed by six minutes when the floodlights on the Main Stand side all went out after eleven minutes of play and the interruption did not help Alty to get into a flowing style of play. Although they improved markedly after the break, playing the ball more to feet, the Farsley backline, led by the impressive Iqbal and Santos were equal to all that Alty could muster. Chris Senior was named Man of the Match for Alty but Greg Young would have been many spectators' choice and Stuart Coburn also made some important saves. Farsley remain five points behind Alty but with two games in hand.
Its amazing how litlle things change over the years

I used to really rate that Iqbal. Anyone know where he is these days ?

He's a little bugger that Damien Reeves, pity we haven't got someone like that in our squad ?

Anyone have any details? Staff, length of contract etc...
-
I hope he's a better manager than he is a looker as he makes Chunk off the Goonies look like Brad Pitt.
Welcome Lee ;D

I've seen worse. Only this morning I was looking in a mirror....Doh!

As long as he can make the team look good, that'll do for me!
-
I'm thinking Gerry Quinn here (who I really liked) but with more experience of promotion.
He'll have access to a whole new group of players from over the pennines as well.
We wanted someone who has Conference North experience, can work with a reduced budget and has been promoted from it. I think we got all three so am pleased.

Looks good for the CSC: West Riding County Cup winner: 2006
-
Can't say I know too much about him, but welcome Lee and lets hope he's got some good contacts!
-
Well done and welcome Lee The Shrewsbury 2 will be supporting you all the way
Well done to the board also
-
I'm happy with this! Reeves was also loaned to BPA whilst Sinnot was manager (I think)
In celebration I shall revert to NickyClee'sClickyKnee and stop promoting Wes Baynes :D

He had just joined Port Vale a few weeks prior to that first encounter.I believe that the only time we have played against him was around 2004 when we beat Farsley in the FA Cup at Moss Lane....4-1 I think.

Welcome to Alty Lee. Here's to a bright future, on paper a good appointment by the Alty board. They said they were looking for a manager with BSN experience and Lee has deffo got that. Wish you a long and prosperous time at Alty.
-
Great news - well done to the board
-
Welcome Lee.
The more I hear, the more sense the board's choice of Lee makes.
He sounds like an intelligent and thoughful guy who will deserve and get our full support. Promoted by Xmas then :D sorry only kidding, make it easter ;D
My only slight doubt is how much he has seen of our current squad playing (besides DR) and therefore how he would decide who to keep and who to release?
Whatever happens, its a new era and the ride is going to be fun!

Fortunately we now have an 81 day gap until the season starts. Pre-season isn't just about what new players to look at...

I meant to say also Good luck lee
-
He has met with GH already
Understand he will be talking to KM too about the players, sensible thing to do.

Yep, fully agree

He has met with GH already
Probably asked him why on earth he signed Twiss....!

I am sure GH told him it was because of his lovely flip flops he turned up in! seems like he wore them when he played too >:(

A very warn welcome to Altrincham, and all the very best for the future, time to get my season ticket!!!
and don't forget to sign up for the TASC Goal Dash scheme when you do pay for your season ticket !
......... we really want to see those pledges folks ....
-
Ans also, all the best to Lee. I'm sure he will do a great job for us. I for one am very excited about the coming season. Congratulations to the board on what seems to be a great appointment.
-
Welcome Lee.
All the best, and Come On You Mighty Robins.
Does he know Chris Senior??
-
Good luck, we're an extremely supportive bunch as I'm sure you've been informed.
Come on you reds!
-
Good luck and welcome.
How many Yorkshire can you fit in your car?
-
Good luck lee hope you do well at the club
-
another little twitter snippet :-
jaka03 -----> SteveRobsonMEN
Any hints to whether his plan was to clear out or build around last years squad?
Steve Robson MEN -----> jaka03
pretty tight-lipped but admitted it also depends on the players themselves as who wants to stay and who might go.
come on Lads - make sense for you to stay!!
-
Good luck and welcome.

Can Geoff not lend him a spare bus he may have no being used?
-
Did you play for Watford in the fa cup final ? or has another brain cell deserted me.
-
Having had a few hours to digest the news I am still really excited by this appointment. It just makes sense in every way and I hope he can repeat and improve upon the success he had at Farsley Celtic, using the best of our exisiting players and adding quallity wherever possible.
First job: sign Steve Connors. (You know it makes sense!)
Feeling really positive tonight! :)
-
Did you play for Watford in the fa cup final ? or has another brain cell deserted me.
Yes, he did 1980 - odd (4 or 5 I think?)
-
Welcome Lee and good luck at alty mate
-
I felt very happy when I read the news at dinnertime, and having read the interview on the website, I am even more pleased. His talk aiming to win the league, though it may not happen, is exactly what you want to hear, and saying he wants to make his mark in the clubs history.
Welcome Lee, and good luck.

What a fantastic interview and what a positive and healthy attitude to the job and the club he has.
All the best, Lee, we're all right behind you in your quest to take us forward to winning ways
-
warm welcome to Lee. My nephew was at Farsley Celtic when Lee was manager there. Very highly thought of. Lee, not my nephew!
A lot of baggage at vale so I'm not going to use that as evidence about Lee's abillities.
Lee's.
Barmy Army.
Lee's.

From a Port Vale fan:-
"Very good appointment for Altrincham. The reason he lost his job at Vale was more due to behind the scenes issues involving him constantly undermined by the board and his assistant (who was bitter he missed out on the job to him). He has a good eye for a player especially if his scout Steve Joebury comes on board as well, if he can find players like Collins and McCombe for Altrincham promotion will be a certainty. Hope he does well, had a decent break out of the game after leaving Bradford PA so should be ready to go."
Fantastic stuff ;D
-
Did you play for Watford in the fa cup final ? or has another brain cell deserted me.
Yes, he did 1980 - odd (4 or 5 I think?)
1984 v Everton. The last manager we had who'd played in an FA Cup Final AND managed a League Club was Tommy Docherty !
-
wish the new season was now, way too long to wait...
-
Good luck and welcome i hope you are a massive success :)
-
I hope you enjoy your stay and i hope its a long and succesfull one :)
-
Good luck.
-
Good signing. Hopefully as an ex defender who's played at a high level he'll be able to improve our defence and maybe get Robbie Williams playing well again. Welcome Lee.
-
Welcome to Alty, Lee and good luck for next season! :)

there was a lot of off field crud at vale then, and there still is. Come on you red and white Lee Bar Stewards.
-
Good luck Lee and welcome on board. Really excited for the season to start now
-
Welcome to Alty! Roll on the new season!
The Yorkshire players will be flocking over, just offer them a whippet and a flat cap! That will save on the wages budget!
COME ON YOU REDS!

What a way to end the interview. When asked about a message to the fans...
"They have a vital part to play. There would be no club, without their support. After the disappointment of relegation, I will be looking to put a smile back on their faces. I want them to enjoy their football. I want us to play football the right way but also in a winning way. I want to win. Not at all costs, because that can open a can of worms and put you in a situation you don't want to be in. But we are in a results-driven business. People are impatient, and I understand that. After being in the Premier last season, our supporters will be among the most impatient in the division. That is only to be expected. It creates pressure, of course, but if you want to be manager of Altrincham Football Club, you accept that comes with the territory. If you can't take the flak, don't stand on the touchline. In my own mind, this is a long-term project. It's not a case of me coming here and looking for something else 12 months down the line. That's not me. I want to build something that will last a long time."
That really has put a smile on my face!

Of course it's a two-way street. We fans have to give Lee our full support, and get right behind the team from the first kick of the pre-season friendlies. He wants to build something that will last, so we MUST have patience if it doesn't turn out to be the overnight miracle some seem to expect.
I'm like a kid again, can't wait to get started and see what the next few months have in store for us all.

I'm delighted to see Lee Sinnott back in the game. He did a superb job at Farsley Celtic and was treated abominably at Port Vale. I'm not sure what happened at Bradford, I think he just needed to take a break from football but it was unfortunate timing for The Avenue.
Anyway, he's back now with his batteries recharged and I look forward to following Altrincham's progress next season. Good to see him managing a team in red and white stripes.
-
Did you play for Watford in the fa cup final ? or has another brain cell deserted me.
Yes, he did 1980 - odd (4 or 5 I think?)
1984 v Everton. The last manager we had who'd played in an FA Cup Final AND managed a League Club was Tommy Docherty !
At only 18 years of age!!
-
I used to really rate that Iqbal. Anyone know where he is these days ?
Was playing at Farsley AFC last season after leaving Bradford Park Avenue. Unfortunately he broke his leg midway through the season and is currently recovering, hoping to be back for the start of next season. Good to see Lee back in football, he worked wonders at Farsley and I wish him all the best at Altrincham.
-
he certainly made his mark at Farsley. Slightly different task here at Moss Lane though. FCFC rose up through the divisions to play at a level unprecedented in Farsleys history. At Alty the task is to get us BACK to BSP level and keep us there Only then can we seriously look at going higher.
Fingers crossed!
Come on Alty
Come on you red an' white beauties.
