Reliable source tells me he's been appointed at Northwich.
Ah, yes, you can see now how he couldn't work under the financial restraints at Kendal....

They still get their two day break between matches, i.e. it would be no different to play ng on a Saturday and then a Tuesday. Can't see the problem myself. Perhaps he's getting his excuses in early

Rumours on Facebook have it that the Grantham Town managers (Wayne Hallcro & Jimmy Albans) have resigned.
So far this season .... Eastwood, Kendal, Blyth, Whitby and now Grantham have shed their manager in this league!!

I'm working on it!!
This from their official fans forum:
"Following the 2-0 defeat tonight, J&W are no longer managers of the football club
Wayne would like to pass on his thanks to all the clubs supporters for the support and efforts during their 3 and half years in charge."

That's a quarter of the division's clubs losing their manager with less than half the season gone.
In Grantham's case they won promotion last year and don't appear to have money to waste on big name players so the aim is surely to consolidate this year and not get relegated.

.. and Coventry can no longer afford to play at their home ground....
http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/club ... 27868.aspx
.... and while we're on the subject, some rare good sense talked by John Cross of The Mirror yesterday on the subject of West Ham's planned move to the Olympic Stadium - "they're currently advertising on talkSPORT their forthcoming games, including Chelsea, which they can't sell out at the Boleyn Ground - so how on earth are they going to fill a 60,000 capacity stadium - and they'd do well to learn from the last club which moved to a ground which it doesn't own...."
(see above....)

Saw Ade Akinfenwa make his debut for them in the only game I ever saw at Oswestry Town (before they disappeared to reappear as part of the TNS "merger") - seems an awfully long time ago!
I think that was in the John Fashanu "we will be European Champipns" era, but don't quote me on that.
We did lock horns with them on several occasions, of course, before some bright spark invented the WPL...

Didn't he throw the toys out of the pram at Totton also? He sounds like trouble (and given the sincerity of the smile, he looks like trrouble too!). He'll probably end up somewhere else soon and promise them the earth...
...what ever happened to Morrell Maison by the way?

One has to wonder at the chain of events that has led to this. Presumably CCFC owned Highfield Road, sold it for redevelopment and moved to the Ricoh. Questions have to be asked about where the proceeds from the sale went.
ANother Portsmouth in the making by the look of things...

Bury under a transfer embargo and have no cash, but they're not in crisis...
http://mancunianmatters.co.uk/content/1 ... bargo-afte
Reliant on games going ahead, they may regret letting another club share their ground and thus the pitch gets waterlogged and can't recover - although on the other hand I guess the rental income comes in handy...

Coventry considering a groundshare with Hinckley now!
Perhaps we could make an offer to them - our ground is bigger than Hinckley's and the toll road makes it a speedy trip for the home fans

Crazy. Some wag has suggested they might do a deal with Nuneaton Griff....
Here's an idea - with Cov, Hinckley, Rushden, Nuneaton and Kettering all in or had a crisis - and haven't Leicester been in admin a time or two - why don't they all just merge to form one club?

Hinckley could do with the money too, as trailed in the last para of that BBC link...
