disjointed Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Just now, Handsy said: I wonder who wellens would chose if he had to work under Al/Mo or the Neville regime again Neither, I actually think that Wellens isn't a bad manager, as someone on here said, he just needs to be left to get on with it. It's a case of him finding the club with the right owners (seems he had that at Swindon). He will get another job as a league manager.

There was almost a documentary about them on the beeb website the other day about them having fourteen managers in eighteen years.

His appointments have largely done very well for him. Cash. Nothing more or less. They were losing 32k per week in the 6th tier ffs. A donkey could have got them those two promotions given the spending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of that, it did appear that he was doing a decent job there, maybe this is the reason he left to go to Salford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same equation they should be pissing this league, and said donkey should be capable of at least getting them in the play offs.

Mr Banks, Zone 3 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Sad to see that Frank Worthington passed away today, a real character from a bygone age and some player too - any kids with the kind of flair and flamboyancy he had would soon find it coached out of them these days. I suppose it's stretching it a bit to call him an ex-player, but I remember him turning out for us in Jimmy Frizzell's testimonial so I think he just about counts . He was a big mate of Joe's and was often spotted outside the ground on matchdays wearing his cowboy hat . RIP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he have his own fashion boutique at one stage. King of the mavericks (along with Stan Bowles, and Duncan Mackenzie, and Tony Curry, and Alan Hudson... and Groves and Stainrod and...). Wow, the 1970s! I watched him at a few Friday night County games. He was class. Oozed flair. I see he is yet another player who has died in his early 70s after suffering from Alzheimers. It is quite disturbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the last Maverick player we had, I would say to a lesser extent Gary Harkins. Certainly Stainrod fitted the bill, would you class Tricky Ricky as Maverick?

Possibly, I suppose it depends on what you class as Maverick, if it's leading a unhealthy lifestyle (booze, drugs and driving cars illegally, then still wowing the crowds the Baxter is up there.

Maybe even David Eyres... if the definition of maverick is being your own man and a desire to entertain I think Eyresey would count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
