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

Well bix_the_dog wanted rumours

Having previous been involved in non league I've been away for a number years and haven't done anything on Saturday's for a number of years So I was persuaded to venture to Keys Park for the first time last season and was extremely impressed with the facilties and the support. Despite it being a poor season I have seriously been considering buying a season ticket for next year. Off the field I think the club could be on the verge of big things. I'm about 80% certain I'll get a season ticket, but the right managerial appointment could swing it for me. As such I have desperately been trying to find out who the new manager could possible be. I too have heard it maybe Kevin Phillips. Isn't his son on Wolves books?

Although only a rumour Phillips appointment would be an interesting one. He's a well respected and popular man in football. His work at South Shields his first managerial job was impressive winning the NPL in his only full season there after losing the play offs the previous year. The fact he was outed one week after winning the NPL was a strange one and has never been fully explained but if you read this link reading between the lines I would say it was a budget issue.

Six months later in January this year he rocked up at Hartlepool and after a decent sixteen game spell he again lost his job on April.27th under strange circumstances. See link below.

If it is KP I don't see why we have a problem over the timing of the appointment though as he is not currently employed. Personally.I can't see our next manager is him but I wouldn't be against it.
