agree with that wellswood, its seems we are never happy on here, we need to look forward to getting new owners into the club and push on! as ive said before nobody else is queing up to buy the club so lets look forward and hopefully a return to the football league
its seems that everything that happens people want to pick up all the negative things.

Lol, remember how you were posting a short while ago?

'Bout time we had Leroy back as our 5-Minute Manager!

Nicho is the most intelligent, resilient and strategic-thinking manager we have had at the club for years and years. It would be a disaster to replace him. But for Nicho's sake and self-respect, I'm half-hoping he is signed up by his old club FGR and gets them promoted.

First time I've posted for years (infact I had to re register) but this news has been a call to arms. I had no issues with Geoff Harrop during his previous spell with the Club but the idea this form of jobs for the boys scenario may be hatching has made me feel a little sick inside.
I made the 150 mile round trip throughout this bleak footballing winter and at times the enjoyment factor was pretty thin, but I kept going and eventually the sun well and truly shined over Plainmoor. The news that the man most responsible for this turn around could be squeezed would find me doing something else on a saturday afternoon next season.
The £200 season ticket is quite a deal but I'll pass it over for the present. Dave Phillips and Steve Breed please help us!

To me, Those aren't the words of someone who thinks his contract isn't being renewed/being sacked/being forced out.

Interesting to see him say that GI have similar ambitions/ways of thinking as him. Maybe the prophets of doom on here were a bit further from the mark than they thought.

Can't speak for anyone else but I'm perfectly happy with everything I've posted

Wasn't a dig, particularly, I'm sure you were acting in good faith; just seems all the quotes from nicho, both today and on Facebook, don't seem to tally with what's being talked about on here.

To be fair, Harrop's record as manager at Plainmoor is better than any that have gone before, or after, him.

Did we not play only one game under him and draw? The 1-1 with Morecambe? I don't remember him doing any other games.

If so than we've definitely had managers before and since with a better ratio than 1.00 points per game. Some have been worse though...

Yes, but an unbeaten record, home or away, throughout their tenure - I think not!

Wasn't the team in reality managed by Lee Mansell/Kevin Nicholson v Morecambe, seem to remember all Harrop did that day, was stand in the technical area, waving his hands around like some demented aeroplane ground controller trying to get the crowd to make some noise.

That game the team played well and the side was well balanced. If Harrop picked the side I can't knock, that but this situation is different someone has earned the right to manage this club and the club needs to get this right.
