What? Richard Hill is in charge at Eastleigh. Don't you mean Garry Hill?

Heavens above! It's not mandatory to have an ex-player as manager.

It's because we don't know what funds are available. :|
We are not obliged to appoint a Devon-based manager. Have you considered managers in different parts of the country?

The froth for a Devon-based manager needs to stop. The last thing we need is someone who ONLY knows the Southern/Western league.

Any "proper" NL manager worth his salt will have contacts up and down the country, at lower leagues all the way through to PL academy level. We need a manager who knows the right players for this level, and is happy to send scouts - or take in himself - a wide range of games

He is trolling. IE making up then Dion Dublin nonsense.

Marcus Bignot, Gary Hill, Mark Yates, Martin Allen, Richard Money, Gary Brabin, Sol Campbell are some suggestions (no more than that) which I've seen, that are interesting shouts.

That is what we need but we just can't attract or afford someone like that and GI aren't good enough owners to bother searching

Gary Hill, Kevin Hill. Rchard Hill, Fanny Hill - you can tell the forums gone mad lets just get someone in called Hill :O :O :O :O :O :O

People calling for the likes of Joyce are just plain mad. Bideford are a park side. Managing them for 100 years has no resemblance to managing us. We might be small fry but we are not quite plankton yet.

You can't say that for certain, as none of us have any idea who knows who in the game. When all these players do their Coaching badges, they could bump into all sorts.

I recall reading an article in the last year where some lower league manager (and its bugging me as I can't remember who) has struck up a personal friendship with Thierry Henry as they were on the same FA course.

Even the experienced names - Mark Yates etc - we just don't know who is in touch with who. I wouldn't say we can't find the right man, it's just a question of will we
