John Milton is no longer at the club, he is busy helping Buckle assemble Rover's squad I'm afraid.Ashes Gull wrote:For me It's a no brainer,it has to be John Hughes you won't got many mangers of his experience applying for job like ours.People have said on here about his lack on contacts,please tell me if i'm wrong but is John Milton still at the club because i think he is,he could be very inportant now.As for a number 2 any one that is left on the list i would be happy with.

What does it look like now?
He was indeed down at Torquay however I think you will find if Buckle had concluded the deal he would actually have ended up in Bristol. The eyes have been off the ball for quite a while.GasheadWes wrote:Just a quick point Glostergull - I know Buckle had Ross Hannah down at Torquay for a day or two this season but i thought i would let you know he has already joined Bradford City. I think he signed a week or two ago.
I'm sure a certain Ashley Bayes would agree with that as wellSuperNickyWroe wrote:
well said shane.
buckle is only interested in one thing - himself, always has been and always will be.
oh, and that blonde thing to i suppose.....thats two things then!
Well and truly looking to cut back I'm afraid. Also got the potential saving of Veysey and Milton's wage as well and don't forget the Chief Exec's twelve month notice period is coming to an end.tommyg wrote: Surely the wages of Trollope and Hargreaves would be roughly the same as what Buckle and North were earning. Or are we looking to cut back on this area?
Finances dictate that won't be happening, it will have to be a player coachregiment wrote:Have not read all your comments yet, will read back through, but two quick points from me in addition to my earlier posts :-
1. I would assume the club in someway "have" to advertise the vacancy as in any company, but does not mean the post is not already filled.
2. Bucks first job would be to get bristol promoted, and my guess is their current squad is better equipped than ours, with the addition of 1 or 2 that any new manager would want to bring in. I genuinely don't see a mass exit from our players, but branno and Stanley are free agents, so we could well miss out on them, which would be a huge shame. One exception may be his mate zebba, if we get a decent offer, the club might let him go, and that would not be good as we are already short of attacking options.
Finally, I have not real preference if the two front runners are hargreaves and trollope as suggested, both have pros and cons, but would be VERY happy if we took them BOTH.
Peterborough, Derby County and Doncaster Rovers are all interested in himSouthampton Gull wrote:
I reckon Branno will end up there, he might come back to buy Zebs at some point but I can't see Ellis going there in a month of sundays.
O'Kane I doubt they could afford, doubt they would want Kee.
Stanley seems to have a genuine affection for us and I hope he gets an offer to come here. Robinson I expect to end up somewhere like Burton.

You don't say, Paul !!!
