Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

Wonder if Raj would do that, Can see it now pacing up and down the line shouting.
"Value for Money Value for money.

Michael Knighton did with us in the nineties, despite knowing precisely f all about the sport.

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

So Crawley joins that small band of clubs to be unlucky enough to have owner go nutty and be manager.

Carlisle were first with Knighton in 98, then Chester with their loopy American, I seem to remember Brentford with Ron noades was it???did quite well as he decided to splash the cash on himself.

Sure there was another one was it Lincoln??

It is an elite band of idiot clubs doesn’t usually go well and they will pretend they are not manager.

He had been a pe teacher if I remember was his qualification.

The. His bitterness when he failed of giving managers any other title than manager….head coach, director of football etc etc to say he never would appoint a manager

Indeed there was. John Reames who combined being Chairman/Manager 18 month or so in the late 90's.

None of these aforementioned names more famous than the great Glenn Tamplin, however.

That's a blast from the past. He tried to buy Dagenham & Redbridge. The supporters were having none of it.

 

[Agombar stool]

Putting himself in the dugout is a bold step.

I just read a tweet from the Stevenage stadium announcer;

"Tonight’s highlight was Johnson asking the fourth official at half time how subs work. Whilst sat on the bench.

All the best Crawley fans."

 

[Essex2Wessex]

Can't imagine what Big Steve must have made of it all from the other dug-out.

So sorry, Crawley fans, I really hope you get rid of these arseholes, and quick.

Go look again at my opening post in the non league tinpot thread for a belter of that category.

Haha, yes I remember that. Are Celtic Nation still a thing?

thought so, did he follow on from John Beck? I suppose that at least will have made you feel it wasn't too bad a change.

No, there was someone between them but I can't remember who, it was a few years before I started watching Lincoln (2002ish).

Shane Westley was the manager in between Beck and Reames. I'm pretty sure Reames got manager of the month whilst in charge.

Preston Johnson has issued the following statement.

“I’m looking forward to meeting with the CTSA and finally providing clarity to the fans, but I will not be able to do so on the timeline they were requesting. We are currently in the process of getting to the bottom of some sensitive legal issues within the club that I cannot comment on at this moment. I want to be able to give the fans a thorough accounting of what has happened and where we go from here. That’s what the fans want and deserve, but I can’t do that until I am able to shed more light on these legal items and provide the full picture. I hope to be able to share more in the next week and will certainly keep you all apprised of our progress so that we can meet at the earliest opportunity.”

I would presume the legal issues are sorting a payout for the recently departed managerial team or maybe lawyers have contacted the club re Eben's recent tweets linking "certain" senior players with a toxic culture under Yems....or wagmi are ghosting us.

You've got a manager.

We have our second stand in of the season ... so far the stand ins look better than the full time managers but that's not the point.

The club owners are tied up with legal matters and theres no chance a decent manager would come here when he is told what players he can pick. We will get an u23 coach just after the window closes.

Lindsey will be available soon - hopefully

There’s optimistic and then there’s this…. All I want is a manager that has overseen at least one EFL game in their managerial career, I never thought that would be too much to ask

Paul Hartley, Would you like his number.

 

[Indian Dan]

Lindsey gone.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Lindsey gone.

You must be over the moon.

 

[Indian Dan]

Damn right.

Got to get the next one right, though. Manning for me - even though he’s from the same philosophy background as Lindsey.

lindsey to Crawley, I reckon

 

[Agombar stool]

Lindsey gone.

Off to join the circus at Crawley allegedly.

 

[Indian Dan]

Heard that a few days ago

Oh do me a favour!

The only team we've managed to beat recently was Swindon. What sort of clown would then employ.... Ah %£#@

[Indian Dan]

Don’t forget to pay us compo. And not those token thingies

That game tells you everything you need to know about how we/Lindsay plays. Lots of the ball without ever cresting anything of note. Your keeper had barely anything to do all game!

 

[Son of Cod]

Apparently this latest exit means in the last 12 months 57 of the 92 Prem and EFL clubs have undergone managerial changes.

One that believes stats are important and not goals, just like Lindsay
