Not what I would’ve wanted but the board do.

So who is the jaw-dropping new appointment you’ve been telling us about?

“Jaw dropping”, where did I state that?
The words I used was “impressed with”.
I’m impressed with the appointment, obviously awayyago isn’t but then the only thing that impresses him is his bullshit.

As for when you find out,it’s obviously when it’s announced.

You still saying he’s about to be fired?

[Rene Artois]

They’ll be doing the releasing of players now.

[Rene Artois]

If he didn’t see through WHAM… then he’s not a good judge of character.
All the information was searchable on the internet for those who could be bothered too.

Second – guess we don’t have to improve too much to finish as Champions next season?

Recommended reading for the staff would be Sir Clive Woodward and his incremental marginal gains.

We have an employee for that, his name is Glyn Sparks.

See Sparks… think Lisa… Doh!

Are you not entertained?

Worthing are the Spaniard of the Vanarama!

And of Spain, my team (play in equivalent of EFL L2) have shifted 22,000 tickets in 7 hours yesterday for their final game of the season.
Today, they are putting the final 8,000 tickets online for the third tier of their main stand – these seats haven’t been available all season.

Bubblegum football.

The remaining 8,000 tickets sold out in 2 hours yesterday.
Let the party begin.
If we match or better the result of the team behind us in 2nd place, then we are Champions!
30,000 for the equivalent of an EFL L2 game!
Viva Los Blanquiazules!

[Rene Artois]

Elliott – big hat no money as they say in Texas!

[Rene Artois]

Many of us on here are rowing in the same boat.

[Rene Artois]

Yeovil bounce back at the first attempt.
Champions – 11 points clear.

They had the highest average attendance 3,916
Highest NLS attendance 6,462

Be interesting to see if they can manage to retain their status at the end of next season.

[Rene Artois]

I’m sure that the bookies will chalk us up as favourites again for season 2024/25.
Is that a burden?

What If?

We aren’t promoted this season?

Fast forward 12 months and we will have the answer.

We’d all like to achieve promotion to the NL next season. Let’s hope we taste that success.

[Rene Artois]

Owner / Board – Bravo! Massive success!

Football – I believe that this missed opportunity will haunt us in the coming seasons. Failure!

Last years playoff winners where Kidderminster and they lost 15 games in the regular season.

Silly sod Rene… of course they were – and they’ll be rejoining us next season.

I was on a Chester site and they were highlighted and I mistakenly quoted them.

Apologies – I wasn’t trying to mislead / misinform.

Also worth noting that a volunteer employee seems to have put a lot more money into the club than Elliott.

Has Elliott sunk anything in?

He borrowed a used car showroom and got a few people to sit in it.

They too were my thoughts.

[Rene Artois]

Failed to win 25 of their 46 games.
Lost 13 games
Only took 12 points from the possible 75 points in the games that they didn’t win.
Hardly deserve promotion.
I’m not a fan of play offs.

Last years play off winners Chester only lost 6 games last season.

If you stick with him and go in to the season with a smaller and weaker squad due to the budget – if you are mid table after a couple of months… then what are you going to do?

a) stick with him to the end of the season… “he’s a nice guy”

b) sack him.

Changing managers in a season ain’t the best of practices. A rushed, limited choice appointment would most likely be made.

The new chap would take time to assess and to get to know the players and as we’ve seen so many times in the past, would want his own players bringing in.

Better to have the disruption now and give the new chap a chance to select & shape his team in pre-season.

Jimbob has had the opportunity to show us what he’s about.
a)One up front
b)players deployed out of position and unbalanced
c) lack of cohesion and continuity
d) too much chopping & changing
e) what’s his best 11, I don’t think he knows.
f) awful substitutions which are ill timed and ill thought out
g) poor tactically with no plan b and unable to muster and redirect his troops in the heat of battle.
h) favourites / unfavored
i) terrified of losing to the extent that we struggle to win games against village / community / works teams.
j) doesn’t want to entertain us with bubblegum football [ lol ]
k) will not entertain a bog standard 4-4-2 as he thinks it isn’t hip / cool / groovy / trendy and he wants to be thought of as a forward thinking modern coach.
l) what level coaching badge does he posses? UEFA A, UEFA B, L2?
m) he possibly got the job as he may have been known to WHAM previously?

So, stick or twist?

He’s not my cup of tea, never has been and never will be.

If they decide to keep him, then time holds the answer.

The £100,000 promotion bonuses – I always wondered… ‘is it cheaper to remain in this league than be promoted’.

If we’re 12 points clear by Christmas- then this seasons directive may have been to “do well, but not too well”
Keep them happy, keep them hoping, keep them paying!

Four man midfield

He’s simply got to go.
He was found out in the NL.
This was confirmed in the NLN – biggest budget & squad in the league but struggled to beat village / suburban part timers.

18 of the 24 teams averaged less than 1,500 spectators in season 2023-24.
12 of the 24 averaged less than 1,000 spectators.

No disrespect to the following two teams but 149 people watched Curzon v Peterborough Sports.

How did we do against these giants?

Curzon beat us twice 1-0
A draw (1-1) and a win by the minimum (1-0) against P’boro Sports.

Hardly inspires confidence for next season.

We drew 10 games and lost 10 games.
That’s fifty points we threw away.
If we’d taken half of those points then we’d have been runaway champions.

Get rid of the chump!

The crap performances didn’t just start from Xmas, its being most of the season away, I understand that when your not there a draw at Alfreton with ten men for 80 mins the same at Chorley and Boston would seem ok but it wasn’t, failing to breakdown Curzon and not even picking a point up there, we were shite. Did Jimmy learn and adjust anything all season and all our answers are the same no, bloody egos of football managers we’ve had em all Wilcox, Cox, Hill and now Dean they went and you should to Jimmy.

I was informed within the first few weeks of him being appointed that he’s not a ‘nice guy’ and that he’s not qualified and is absolutely useless!

Season ticket sales and attendances will fall dramatically if he’s retained.

We could be entering the ‘dark ages’

Time will tell… a bruise, a tattoo – or an amputation!

A winning team? We just managed to not lose as many as most of the others.

Specifically in 20 of our games, there was obviously 60 points up for the taking – yet, from those 20 games we only collected 10 points!

P20 D10 L10 Avail Pts 60 Actual Pts 10

If we’d accrued half of those fifty available points then we’d have being runaway champions.

We’ve being very poor for a very long period of time.

This can’t continue.

Many more will make the same decision and will go and watch football or another sport elsewhere or even go and do something completely different.
