DEANS BIG DECISION

Can't agree more Walter, with all your comments.....
But don't you get a feeling from what he said in interviews during his last successful time in charge, he hasn't got the gut for it..
As much as we would all support him thru thick and thin, he just doesn't have the nerve...

Aye, yes Bootsy....Still just up the road from Strawberry Bridge....

I think he does myth...when he got the phone call from dean on the way home from reading saying he, d got the team for charlton he was made up

If he doesn't give it a go he eill look back in years to come with a lot of regret....he's got far more experience than most of the mansgers linked with the job...and previous like clarck..grayson..and robins

iv actively followed town 35 years now and in all my time being a fan...when one of our own has managed the club the whole town has been lifted and got behind the club

a lot can be achieved when we are all in it together...united on and off the pitch

I do wonder about Mark Lillis's Health (Purely coincidentally, the last time i bumped into him was at a Doc's Surgery in Lindley) and whilst I've absolutely No Idea as to his Medical Condition he does strike me (looking at him) as a person perhaps with questions to answer in that area ..

Any run of negative results would, I feel sure, Deeply Affect him and is he thick skinned enough to handle such levels of STRESS - Lets face it Many Men Would Crumble at the Downsides of - Football Management and I don't doubt some have Ferocious Migraines and Drop in & out of Depression ..

Let us presume Dean Hoyle and Mark Lillis have come to know each others Strengths and Weaknesses and therein may lay the answer to any impending decision for the pair of em ..

I've said it before .. and I'll say it again .. I Still favour an Outside Appointment Notwithstanding That any such Outsider has Either -
The Bottle or Guile to Win our Owners Confidence and be allowed to manage without too much interference .. and a reasoned budget to facilitate a couple of strong signings .. Though Time becomes ever tighter for that ~ Another known faintly annoying ploy of Deans ..

Hey JK, good to see you on here!

I like all am a hugh fan of Lillis and also agree that as much as I would like him to be our manager I think its better he isnt. He is doing such a good job overseeing our Academy which is going from strength to strength and he is happy in what he does. Becomming manager takes its toll and only a few managers in the history of football have not been sacked and Lillis knows this.

I want him shaping our future and would like him to have an input into the first team but I want him at Town for as long as he wants to be here so whatever he wants is fine with me. What I love is the return of passion and when you see someone care as much as Lillis does it does make you go a bit Dead Poets Society and stand on my seat shouting "O Captain! My Captain!"

Cheers MBWB & I'm with you all the way on that fascinating foresight ..

I see Billy Mackinlay now enters the frame .. A Fiery Scot .. ???????

What do I know ..

Only that at this rate Dean will be scouring Our District League for Potential Managers next .. lol ..

Aye up Boots, where's tha been?

The temperature is definately rising in the Hoyle kitchen and he doesn't like it.....good.

Dean says 'the next manager who comes in will be this boards choice'
So who picked the last 3 managers?

Dean goes on 'and if Town supporters don't get behind the next manager it will tell me a lot about the way I need to take the club forward'
I don't know about anyone else but I definitely backed Clarke and Robins, I wasn't keen on Grayson but never verbally abused him at games...besides I back the club every season by buying a season card/shirts/programmes. If the manager is pee poor I have the right to voice my opinion, I spend about 25% of my wage on following HTAFC, ok it's not near Deans £30million but then again my wages aren't exactly astronomical.

And as for us owning a share in our own ground, has Dean forgotten that the fans helped play a major part in putting pressure on KSDL and Davy to get said returns back

Wakey.
If you're contributing 25% of your income towards Town,
You're way way ahead of any contribution Olive Oil has put in so far. percentage wise
(as is every other Town fan)

As for 'htfc-inc' Come on ! Who's it to be ?

Well Said Wakey .. Few have the inside track like you do .. and even fewer Commit & Spend on the back of Town like you have done & still do ..

We have to hope that Sweet Talking (to the fans) Dean will come to learn that The Football Business requires a different set of sentiments to Normal Commercial Company business and that his natural Money Making instincts will have to be compromised to a degree IF he is to more successfully follow his avowed passion ..

As to 30 Million Loss (I DON'T BUY THAT FOR A MINUTE) There's many a slip twixt cup and lip and sharp cynic Mirfielder will no doubt have have a 'take' on that supposed claim ..

CREATIVE ACCOUNTANCY offers a route and though Clibbens has never inspired me (in fact he's never done owt for me) didn't he once wriggle out of a driving ban .. lol .. Bodes well for worming his way round the revenue ..

All that being said I saw little wrong about the good business of selling Norwood & Clayton for a reported Million and a bit Plus when just one yrs contract to run ..

Always assuming the replacements at a level we need are forthcoming Majiewski seems a busy player .. I need to see more of Coady - and if Sat Last was anything to go by Butts Passing left a lot to be desired

Btw I can't remember if Pelts became a Sick Note Player for us last time around .. Hope thats not what we're now beginning to see again already

Yep nice to re-aquaint Wakey and glad to see alls well with you n co ..

PS: Do Try & Resist any cute little clips quips about my man J B .. Lol .. I will always affirm Wakey It was Clark that stitched & fooooked his Foootballing Career up ..
