[York Alty is back]

Excellent. On our way now.

[SW]

A real turn up, great news after all of today's strife. A bloke who knows this league and the one above inside out. Am expecting great things.

[taxi Phil]

This is as good an appointment as we could have asked for. Welcome to Alty Jim.....a repeat of your Forest Green performance will do nicely please !

[roytonmike]

Welcome - good luck - but festina lente.

[Bath Alty]

great news. 

That should be the football side of the club under the right management and the board can go back to doing what they do best (and really well) in building up the off-field / community side of the club.

Otherwise we'll be looking at "O me miserum !"

[cheshire cat]

Sounds like the stand out candidate.

Is he based locally?

[Ballers]

'With his experience in this league, we felt he was the ideal choice to steady the ship and take us forward.

I'm not being negative here, just really pedantic cos I like being pedantic. 

But this experience in this league. Has he ever actually managed in the conference north? Was his last spell below conference level when he got Morecambe promoted in the late 90s?

is this a serious post? After all thats been said in the press this weekend, all can just go back to normal like that?

[Birkonian]

He moved to Wirral when playing for Tranmere and stayed over many years. May still live there.

If pedantry is the order of the day, then I'm sorry to inform you that Morecambe got promoted in the mid-90's (1995)

Did he not manage Stalybridge for a spell?

Your forgetting his spell at Stalybridge lad, although easy to do because he struggled there

yes - unless you think that the club as a whole will be better off by dragging this latest episode out further and continuing the infighting - what do you think it will actually achieve?

We have a manager who a good number of the fans wanted as first choice and most are very happy with, we have a board who have built up the junior and community side of the club, attracted a decent level of sponsorship and overseen the arrival of a significant long term asset (CSH) mainly through grant funding.  I can forgive the odd misjudgement in PR (and yes a couple of articles in the last 6 months still counts as the odd one now and then), no one is perfect but the current board have the club at heart and are pretty good at most of what they do behind the scenes.

But no you're right the team has been woeful, (but it's got a bit better recently), the board appointed a manager 4 months ago who turned out to be a disaster (although his appointment was broadly welcomed at the time) and there have been some shocking mistakes recently so lets keep focusing on those rather than getting behind the new manager and the club and trying to go forward in a positive attitude, that will really help.

Wasn't it during their ill-fated full time experiment?
