I have this disappointing image of the board interviewing a football manager as if they were choosing a business executive or manager for their company . Are they waiting for references to be returned before they appoint . Football is a completely different buisiness and if the right person is out there get them in straight away because if you don't they'll be taken by a more ambitious rival

give the job to Steve Torpid - things can't be any more farcical than thererare at them moment . How long does it flippin take to pick a football manager .There were 2 good candidates presumably up for it 2 weeks and 3 matches ago ( Quinn & Penney ) By wasting time the board have allowed confidence to drift in the players and these points dropped could cost us at the end of the season( probably missing out on a playoff spot assuming a good manager comes in and we make good signings in jan with the brodie money - I'm not going to consider the prospect that those points lost could make us finish in the bottom 4 ) I have this disappointing image of the board interviewing a football manager as if they were choosing a business executive or manager for their company .

What exactly are you on today because I sure could use some of it.
Brodie money has all gone. Please, no more delusions about money being spent to improve the team.
Missing out on a play-off spot! There isn't one goal in the current squad so we will be in a relegation dog fight come January.
It is a real struggle to understand what has gone wrong but the back room staff have gone, the shop manager has I believe walked out and the players don't care that much because win or lose they are still going to get paid.
What a shocking state of affairs. The fans deserve so much more, even paying to watch the players trying to win a match would be a bonus.

It was some kind of complicated bet that needed AFC Fylde to draw 2-2 at Clitheroe last week. Walwyn scored two late goals for Fylde to make it happen. I wonder if he got any of the winnings?

If you look at Lincoln forums their manager's job seems to be between Cooper and Tilson (ex Southend).
Hopefully MF will get fixed up at Hereford and we'll get Penney.
Thankfully the Cambridge job didn't come up over the weekend so there should be plenty of action in the next day or two.

ave-penney-profile/ is worth a read, especially the style of play. We would see more entertaining football with him than Cooper and I don't like the fact that Cooper had a major moan about his own players over the weekend.
Probably not going to be either of them!

Obviously all of this speculation is a bit pointless but I'm enjoying it, especially since the alternative is to go and decorate the hall and stairs.

So up to now we have 3 new managers definitely coming - Penney, Cooper and Southgate (or was the last one a wind-up?) Obviously all of this speculation is a bit pointless but I'm enjoying it, especially since the alternative is to go and decorate the hall and stairs.

As far as the manager is concerned, I would go for Dave Penny. I remember his team , Doncaster, running rings round us in the final game at Belle Vue, about 5 seasons ago.

It would seem that Cooper's position at Darlo must be untenable, now that the fans are slating him for their poor run and rumours of him resigning at half-time are circulating.
Whether its Cooper,Penney,Brabin
,Aspin or whoever,the key thing is to get him in place well before the Bath game and certainly in time to have an impact on the Kiddie tie which is a must-win from the financial point of view.

See Cooper has signed Jefferson Louis!! If that's the quality he would bring in then no thanks - big, immobile guy but well used to Coopers style of 'hoofball'.

ReportUpdate on finances from Sophie Hickby York City FC Official on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 8:06am
York City Football Club has appointed long standing supporter and former Trust Board member, Peter Rookes, as the Club's Financial Management Consultant.
Peter Rookes will be providing the Board of directors with regular financial information to assist budgeting. Peter has been providing a financial support service for some years and will continue to operate on a volunteer basis, but with a more formal advisory engagement with the Board. Communications and community director, Sophie Hicks said, "We very much welcome Peter Rookes' financial advice. He has been preparing management forecasts for the Club for some time, but we felt we needed to formalise his position within the organisation. Peter is a long standing fan and understands the complex financial demands of the Football Club. Like the directors of the Club, Peter will be assisting on a voluntary basis and we very much appreciate his support." The financial position of York City remains the same as previous recent seasons. The Club is likely to make a significant operating loss this year, but continues to be financially supported by their Malton based parent company, J M Packaging Ltd. York City continues to work hard to increase commercial revenue, though this is a difficult task in the current economic climate. In order to reduce costs at the Club, which is essential, York City has been forced to make two redundancies recently as part of a review of operations. Other cost reducing measures which have been implemented this season include new stewarding arrangements and the outside management of the Social Club, now the Pitchside Bar. Sophie Hicks added, "Due to the current economic climate, like a lot of other businesses, we have been forced to look at cost reductions at the Club for the long term benefit of York City. We have tried to maintain a healthy playing budget in order to give us the best chance of on-pitch success and we are now looking forward to the arrival of a new manager to make this happen."

The delay may be because Lincoln will have the same names on their shortlist and unfortunately their job is more attractive at the moment.
At least its not Cooper.

Been successful at Middlesbro and the Southgate sightings could be a factor??
Just a guess.

This, together with the very frank report on the Newport game, suggests that the relationship between the club and the Press is not a good one!
