That's the way I read the statement. Alan Knill has been appointed as interim manager and Taylor will ably assist him.

Re: Alan Knill - CONFIRMED

To be honest yellowsmiffy it's all good news on these points. If you have got pace in your squad he will utilize it to great effect, we had Ajose & Bennett while he was at Gigg Lane, although we only saw Bennett off the bench under Knill. If you have a creative C.M. he will get game time. We ha...

Re: Alan Knill - CONFIRMED

Well done to the board, having read the article on the OS I think we all have every reason to be optimistic. It seems they are ready to put their money where their mouths are and back our new boss to beat relegation. I am a little disappointed by the amount of negativity. Please, don't behave like t...

Re: Aldershot vs Torquay

Leroy, Buckle, hell I'd even welcome Colin Lee back right now.
The search criteria are simple, have you ever managed a team and made a tactical substitution? It only need be one game, just some proof that you have an inkling of an idea of what the hell your supposed to do when standing in the dugout.

Re: To cheer us up in a time of doom...

You'll probably all hate me for saying this, but right now, I'd have him back in a flash. His style of football is EXACTLY what we've been asking for. If we had a mix of Buckle's attacking football and Ling's personality we'd have a beast of a manager. You and me both.... [have I really gotten this...

Re: To cheer us up in a time of doom...

Despite the past and given our current situation with Martin Ling, if Buckle has left for "genuine personal circumstances" then I hope everything is okay with him and his family. Despite the way he left he still achieved more with us than most in recent history. And I will always be gratef...

Judging by most 'fans' phoning in to the radio all they want is for their clubs to spend more and more money.

Re: Herald Express wants YOU.

From Jody Banim's Wikipedia page, "He started 10 games for Torquay and decided against an offered contract for the following season." A near miss!

Re: The sooner we get a coach in the better...

I was pleasantly surprised in the Exeter game when Taylor took off Bodin in the 75th minute and replaced him with Macklin. A positive move I thought, I'm sure if that was Dinger it would have been Easton or Cruise coming on the 'shore things up'. I thought maybe that was a sign of things to come und...

Re: Contracts?

If I were Dinger-Ling... Keepers Oastler - Young player who has suffered with some bad form but will I think grow to become a good L1/L2 level player - 1 year with option. Downes - Potential player of the season, definitely needs a two year contract. Saah - One of the most dependable centre-halfs I ...

Re: Club statement

How about Brian Little? Out of work since leaving Gainsborough Trinity. Lots of experience. Not afraid to go to a smaller club. As far as I know is quite respected within the game. Just stumbled on this. He may be up for it! "If I were to go back into the professional game, I'd like to have a ...
