Where is your source for three play offs

This is mine ONLY 14 months in the job

So two then mate,play off final after he took and a semi final,the rest still stands

Sorry mate I don't count 5 or 6 weeks at the end of last season as getting them to the play offs. It's one season for me. Still wouldn't be my choice we need

I get where your coming from with it been local mate but for me, sombody that knows the horrors that is the North West league would be my choice.i hope we don't just go down the route like we did with the players and get a name in just to get everybody on board.we need sombody who wants to be here long term this time and build somthing ,no who is gonna just ship after 6 month because they get a higher offer.hopefully we will know soon.

We both just want the best for the club at the end of the day but I do feel it has to be someone who comes from the local area, 20 - 30 mile radius who knows the identity of the club and has had experience and success at Step 3 and above. Someone who is looking for a project. We've pi*&Ed about too often with managers in the past this one has to be right, for the club and the person who takes it.

@jshez glad we agree pal….why do we get a manager that is local. Harry failed liked him (without verma we would have finished rock bottom) and so did Paul Moore albeit Manchester based. Think we need a manager with pedigree Runcorn linnets must have had a smaller budget and finished second from top. Got to remember we’re the second furthest south team in the north west….and the physicality of the league warrants a different tact I honestly think if we were in the midlands league we would have finished mid-lower table Walsall wood did. Excited for the news…..@ j shez

No, he’s just joined Torquay as a football advisor.

So we can look at the ones who are still connected to a club. Narrows the field a bit

I’m being told bringing in a manager is done, but he’s under contract somewhere so it won’t be announced until June 1st

And what an awful gamble that would be providing the rookie is prepared to drop FIVE levels.
