We Love Sammo!

[Chamois]

Bear in mind also the fantastic facilities at Nene Park, gym, training pitches etc. I'd swap it for Sixfields tomorrow.

[Zen Master]

Darlington have fantastic facilities.
The facilities at RDFC worked well during their brief spell as a league club.

What the f*** is this! A sensible, not even half funny post from Bingers?!

I'm desperate for Sammo to turn this around.  He's been through it all with us over the years and as far as I'm concerned he's as much (if not more) a Cobbler as anyone sitting in the stands. When he was first in the running for the job I was in two minds; on the one hand he deserved his chance and I wanted him to get the job and do well.  On the other, I was kind of dreading us ending up in the situation we are starting to find ourselves in and him having to leave under a cloud.

Here's hoping he gets us back up and running again, starting tomorrow at Ipswich. C'mon, Sammo!!

I would love to see Terry Angus involved somewhere in the club.

Listening to him on the radio he does seem to see things that if pointed out to a Manager could be put right.

cheryl cole talks a lot of sense. politically conscious with a working class background. fully aware of contrasting musical genres. really digs wayne from the flaming lips. has a vague idea of the off-side rule. knows how to fire up an absinthe on team building day. might drop her shorts...i don't know.

Are you suggesting that I manage as much as half funny usually?  Anyway, this is no laughing matter.

Right, off t' hotel bar to watch Gabor get the winner against Leeds, which will be a laughing matter, just its a pity that its half term, so I can't wind up quite as many Leeds fans.

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Same as everyone else really, Gilligan is actually a nice fella, one with his head screwed on aswell. However he seems to have become almost undroppable!

In three Sunday papers he was rated as our best player alongside MacKenzie!!

Love the guy...but that's the problem..going down Sentiment Avenue again...Mr. Angus totally untried at any level!

So is Cheryl Cole.  Given the two, I'd take Cheryl, but probably choose Terry as manager.

Whoever asks for the least money.

Perhaps Cardoza could do one of those reverse auction things and ask applicants to write down their salary requirements. The lowest individual bid gets the job...

I think they did that last time 

[Atmospheric Lavatories]

I really, really hope that Sammo turns this round.  There would absolutely no pleasure in seeing him go. 

[Lanky Cobbler]

my unrealistic option would be Alan Pardew but we'd have no chance

[Chamois]

None at all. He will always be a legend.
Maybe the problem is that in every other country managers require all their coaching badges, man-management courses and managerial skills courses etc. before they are qualified. Here anyone can become a manager, even with no experience. At times I sense that Sammo's man-management is a bit crude.

That would be your unrealistic option? Mine would be Jose Mourinho.

[Chamois]

Pardew is dire and looks about as much fun as a Croydon librarian. I'd be in favour of taking a massive risk by doing what Kettering have just done: appointing someone unknown from non-league football. The last time we did it - Graham Carr - it brought us a hungry manager and the two best players to grace our club in the last thirty years.

A possible angle indeed...not only did it come up trumps with  Graham et al but it also worked with Peter Morris as assistant......when we got the legend that is 'Larry' Grayson & even Trott-y ( who was a lot people's hero).
If not as a Manager then as an Assistant ...if someone talented, hungry and keen would come ?

[Chamois]

Non-league is an undervalued option. Look at how players such as Westcarr have thrived. Of Carr's non-league finds, McGoldrick - who I don't think was THAT great - went on to Arsenal and the 1994 World Cup Finals, Morley at West Ham in the PL, Hill moved to the top flight as well. Even Wilcox and Gilbert impressed in the second tier of league football. These players cost peanuts for NTFC and were probably paid in the same currency.

[Lanky Cobbler]

We took a risk with sammo and it hasnt worked. The last time we took a risk and it paid off was with Calderwood. Now is the time for a proven manager to come in whos going to give the players a proper kick up the yaris but actually have some tactical knowledge. What Pardew did with reading wasnt really boring was it?!

[Chamois]

A 'proven manager' who is 'out of work'; isn't that an oxymoron?
