No different to Jim and Doughty publicly slagged him off, in fact on average Jim's record is better.

Have we got a proper manager yet?

Now might be a very good time for a Supporters club launch, would there be much interest?

I sympathise. I don't agree with Phoenix clubs, unless your club ceases to exist then there's no reason for them. Unfortunately you're hopes for someone to take responsibility and depart will be dashed. I can't see any changes happening at either board level or in the dugout before next season starts in August. Business as usual in the Evostick.

I'd suggest the fan base is already split

When Rowley sacked Harvey he promised that we would make every effort to stay up, that we were a Club with battling qualities and that they wanted to get the Club back there. He then promised us a thorough search for a new manager. This didn't happen and for no other reason than he's a mate, Doughty was given the job to the end of the season. There has been no improvement in performances or results and we are now beyond hope of staying up. 7 of the starting 11 yesterday were Doughtys signings and an 8th player, Deasy he worked with last season and the 3 subs he brought on he also worked with last season - this is Doughty's team and he can have no excuses why the team hasn't performed. The Chairman allows him to sign players on for next season and now we hear that he is demanding to know if he has the job next season, only 2 weeks after being given the job until the season's end. He should have learnt about about appointing friends after the Tolson debacle but obviously not.

The Community side is a seperate company in its own right and its success isn't impacted by the performance of the football team. The board have made poor decision after decision and have not accepted responsibility. I am in full support of the Community Sports company, by the way.
