Goes against what I'm expecting to hear but let's wait and see.

Wow, that would be a surprise. Club have been really coy.

[Richinns]

Blue Square anyone.

[royalgull]

if that happens fold the club.

[usagullmichigan]

Thats shocking

[Richinns]

We - once again - are a joke of a club if this is true.

Just posted on the other thread - this has come completely out of the blue and I can't say that if true it fills me with confidence. I know he had a long stint at Orient but didn't he have a total 'mare with Cambridge in the BSP. Have to say I will be disappointed, had my hopes set on Forster.

[HRG]

I am not impressed. I wanted Forster.

eg:

The season started badly, however, with no win coming until the 6th game, at home to Eastbourne Borough.[17] Despite a short FA Cup run, which ended in a 2-1 First Round replay at League One Huddersfield Town, following a televised 0-0 at the Abbey, Ling's signings generally struggled on the field.[18][17] After four consecutive losses, including to lowly Hayes & Yeading, the board were forced to issue a vote of confidence in Ling's management.[19] Despite this, the club's poor form continued, leading to growing anger amongst the Cambridge fans at Ling's underachieving signings and tactical naivety. Following the New Year's Day goalless draw to struggling rivals Histon, there were audible chants of "Ling Out". However Ling refused to quit, stating "they [the fans] can moan all they like, but I m going nowhere".[20] On 1st February 2011 Ling was sacked by the Cambridge United board after a further run of four straight defeats, culminating in a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Bath City.[21]

Don't panic just yet, he's being interviewed today, I reckon Sky have just jumped to conclusions.............................fingers crossed or it's going to cost me a nice little sum.

Of all the names mentioned this has to be one of the worst i've heard, coupled with Branston going, the cat is getting a kicking later.

[DerbyGull]

Given the other applicants, he must be really good at interviews!!! Also when did he apply, not even mentioned before now!! I wanted Forster as well.
