....indeed they have, however Dave Pace’s lack of financial planning eventually caught up with them, and they had to drastically cut spending.... which saw them relegated 3 times...

was not that the failure of his window company ?

....possibly (as well).... but there was an ‘unexpected’ Tax bill (I think) to pay that caused a large reduction in budget and subsequently two back to back relegations from the Conference North in 12/13 & 13/14. This after they’d been in the Conference proper playing the likes of Oxford & Cambridge only a few years earlier.

And his managerial record Is crap.. another duck egg on charge... 

 

Eh?  Our fans... bloody hell!

 

...worked as Rafa’s assistant at Liverpool, and has roughly 45% win rate in La Liga with Celta Vigo, Las Palmas and Valladolid.  Crap.

 He has quite a bit of experience in the Spanish lower leagues, which may be of  benefit in recruiting Spanish players he is aware of, as long as they aren't like Vera. They may have trouble acclimatising to Ice Station Zebra though. He didn't do very well at Las Palmas in his last job,  only 3 wins from 14 before being sacked after 6 months.

Rather selective. This guy is far too good for us. 

 

He was linked with Real Madrid once. Mourinho rates him as does Rafa Benitez.  Was also linked with Forest in 2018.  But the OWTB lads think he’s shit... so he must be. 

 

Doubt there is anything in it all.
