Ling quits - speculation
Rumours are rife today that Martin Ling has quit as Cambridge United manager after just a week in charge.

Ling is thought to have resigned after last night's Cambs Professional Cup match against Histon at the Abbey.

Ling would not comment when contacted by the News this morning but confirmed he was not taking today's training session.

United chairman George Rolls was unavailable for comment.


This is taken from the Cambridge official site. Seems they have big problems!

Are we just about the only club that are financially sound, have a manager and enough fit players to make a full match squad?

Maybe they asked him to come down and do a few odd jobs on his Monday and Thursday day off........how tinpot

They are paying the price for failing to get back up. Clubs only have a limited time before people stop thinking of them as a former league team and start seeing them as a non league club.

Cambridge WERE a non-league club until 1970 when they replaced Bradford Park Avenue. They only made it into the Southern League in 1958, and spent three seasons in the lower division. In their first two Premier seasons they finished below Cambridge City, and "earned" their Football League status after back-to-back Championships in 1968-9-70. NOT a great tradition is it ? In the space of 35 seasons they climbed to within two matches of top flight status, and then fell all the way back again. No more of a traditional League club than the likes of Chester City to my mind.
