OFFICIAL Sam Ricketts New Manager

[Vorporix]

Decent appointment - has experience of non-league and hopefully will bring some good players in to the squad.

Bit of a gamble having no managerial experience (neither did Dean) but a gamble worth taking in my view.

That’s what I would call strange.

Just so we are back on the same level, I still don’t think the WST are upto the job if this season ends the same and anyone brings up we need time to gel, the clubs never been run better off the field and any other rubbish people aren’t buying it anymore along with the # PR. Oh and the 2 year plan nonsense.

One thing I am willing to do though is give the guy a chance, he could be what we have been missing or it could be a total disaster like dietmar hamman at Stockport ... I hope it’s not but if you roll the dice you have to be willing to lose sometimes with the gamble, time will tell.

It’s the same old shit that we have had from the last 5 managers, great club/massive club, great facilities, it will be hard but...., at the end of the day, I’m a winner.....

Pathetic comment from a so called supporter! The whole team , management etc need our support both in numbers and financially. As a season ticket holder for more than 40 years I shall certainly be renewing mine. COYR!

So you think we've taken the exact same route each of the last ten seasons?

What would you have done different? As a matter of interest

The captain with 5 years experience

Or the lad having his first go

You can decide

Worse than that consider the choice of

Captain with 5yrs experience with an experience 1st officer or
Young lad with little experience with 1st officer who had a go at flying but failed every time .

But we don't keep doing the same thing.,do we!. Saunders(albeit Moss's man), Mozza, Wilkin , Mills, Keates, Ricketts. What did they all have in common!, very little. All came with very differing profiles. Various levels of experience, various levels of familiarity with the club,and with greatly differing levels of achievement as players and, although not in possession of the relevant figures, I'd bet they were on slightly differing salaries. You're argument holds not a drop of water.
