Yep. Maybe my last sentence was a bit too cryptic 🙂

Morrell did well but on the face of it all, he was a gamble with not much experience which ultimately showed.
Wilkins another gamble coming from a club like Nuneaton to ours, huge difference & ultimately failed but wasn’t so bad.
Gary mills - we all know the gamble with him well before he arrived here, turned out to be the most disliked manager we have had. Failed.
Rickets - probably the only success, but he was also a huge gamble with no experience.
Bryan Hughes & Graham barrow absolute huge gambles of the lot, absolute nonsense appointments and failed miserably.
Keates - he’s been a gamble both times, decent first time with awful football got away with 1-0’s. This time it’s speaks for itself.

So my question is why? Why have the board been allowed for so long, to mess us about with these idiotic appointments. We can throw hate as much as we like at the managers, but half of us would never say no or resign in Keates case. The real questions & “hatred” should go towards the board & the board only. The spineless, lying, useless b*****ds. None of them at all should be allowed to be part of the current regime. They’ve held us back for way to long. Every other club who’s come down has pretty much gone back up within a few years, it shows our failings solely on the board for picking and choosing their mates.
Peter Jones as Chairman of the WST said he wouldnt get involved in the footy side of the club ( not true but heh that is what he said) leaving it to Spencer and Co to oversee the WAFC. As we all know the Board of WAFC run by Spencer did their own thing and never listened to the fans due to their arrogance and we know best attitude.
When you have a football club run by wanabee managers and management this is the state we find ourselves in.

Its an interesting comment, valid in recent times. However, the two best managers at The Racecouse in my lifetime John Neil and Arfon had little track record in Management when they were appointed. Perhaps there was greater reseach and knowledge of their character, application and philosophy. Its hard to imagine the current crop would have had a shot at the job back in the day.

Surprise no mention for Flynn or Denis Smith on here - both were good mangers that had us playing decent football. Keates & co are not ft to tie their boot laces.

Moneys the big factor that we keep hiring absolute shite both on and off the field. Hopefully when the takeover is complete we can move on and spend endless amounts of money like Crawley, Fleetwood, FGR, Luton, Tranmere and Salford to get out of the conference and move up the leagues.

It's not the money, it's those in charge of the money.

They'd prefer to save £20k on wages for a decent manager and then wonder why bringing in another journeyman for that 20k hasn't helped us

I think if we had employed a decent manager/coach we’d have climbed out of this league long ago.The problem imho has nearly always been the coaching or lack of it.The players even today are probably as pizzed off playing the system they’ve been instructed to as we have watching the dog shite.Until this is sorted we are going nowhere any time soon.

Thats true , really is a waste because the gates drop with poor football , so lose gate money , so you save nothing .
