I didn't know of Gary Hill before KN was sacked, but having read about him on here and done a little research, he does seem like a safe pair of hands. A little concerned that Woking seemed to go backwards under him after a few seasons in the NL, is this simply a small club finding their level? Does...

Nicholson sacked 17/08

So called supporters are judging Nicho by what they see on the pitch (and yes - certainly last Tuesday was a pitiful 'performance') without looking at the wider picture of what's happening off the field. I'm not failing to see the wider picture; what I am constantly banging on about is the necessit...

Well if he wasn't, he bloody well should have been sacked for footballing reasons!

Bottom of he league, signing crocks; playing shit football = :red:

My money would be on Yates, for no other reason than he fits the bill and is possibly based around Osbornes neck of the woods perhaps. He lives in Halesowen (B62) Osborne lives in the Chew Valley, south east of Bristol. It's not where a manager lives that is important and what usually costs applica...

Nicholson sacked 17/08

He is obviously a very knowledgeable chap! Look; it's not rocket science and whilst Nicholson gets all the plaudits for his acknowledged passion for the club and the community the position of manager is much more than that and indeed totally irrelevant to that....less time with the community and de...

Nicholson sacked 17/08

....... what concerns me is the goals conceded in our last home game were very similar to the ones we conceded against Aldershot. There was a big gap through the middle any manager would have closed this up in the next game but we just did the same thing in the second half throwing the game away. T...

Nicholson sacked 17/08

KN is not a manager, he'd be a decent coach or perhaps some sort of ambassadorial role would suit him. Not at Torquay United's expense though! He's had a decade of employment from the club in a finite, short-lived industry and will walk with some 'compo' ~ not a lot because he agreed to work for so...

My only concern with some of the lower league managers like Collier and Killock, and I suppose the likes of Martyn Rogers etc, is that it is all very well be a big fish in a tiny pond but would they have the scope and range of contacts to make a success of being in a National League? The appointmen...

Yes; when they act in such an ignorant manner as to call for the closing of a thread because that is showing complete ignorance of what a forum is........ A place of assembly for people to debate; a designated space for public expression and as an Internet forum; a vehicle for discussion. How dare ...

That's not he point..........the thread was opened by someone for discussion based on the notice posted. Whatever their interpretation; they are entitled to do that without some bigot coming on and ordering he thread be closed. This a forum; not a unilateral one sided shouting match.

Indeed; this contributor is an absolute disgrace if you look back over his history of postings.....gone very quiet since the Solihull Moors cock-up last week though

SACK NICHOLSON!!

Let's give Nicho ten games and then see where we are. I'll tell you where; exactly where the club is now, where it was last season and the season before and the one before that. Incredibly there are those that will accept that, make excuses over and over again and as long as it's a #legend in the m...
