G Coughlan...

I have no evidence Chesh but I bulked when I read the article in the Daily Mail that Matt Taylor had cancelled the players Christmas Party following a defeat insinuating that it was a punishment which I soon discovered was fake news. Who released that story to the press? Obviously somebody with authority or the press wouldn't have run with it. Then, Ollie came out with a statement that he wouldn't have employed Matt Taylor in a millions years whilst praising the previous manager who caused so much division. Where did that come from? It was so un Ollie like. 

Yes, the players appear to be fully behind the manager and it was great when one of them publicly stated that the manager needed more help. If a player is that concerned then it is proof that they really do care. The new owners have my full support and I am really looking forward to being back at The Mem again soon to cheer Matt and the team on.

HNY Cheshire.

Neither tore trees up anywhere else. Best was Stewart who played about 100 games for Watford in the championship then drifted downwards. Wolleaston’s best days were in the conference with Cambridge and then Rubbish and Dustbins. He never really settled anywhere more than a couple of seasons. Mauge was the big miss. Although not technically the best player we had he was in the form of his life and bossing the middle of the park before his broken leg and the two youngsters were a gamble and proved not to be adequate replacements. My memory of the nearly season is that Beadle unsettled both Roberts and cureton and the team stopped playing as they had till the final 5 games. I remember those 2 appearing not to give a s**t in the way they performed and there were clearly those in the team who were pissed off at them. Holloway never gripped it though it was a difficult situation for a newish manager to deal with. The following season he really started to lose the plot with us and sacking was inevitable and a good decision imho. I recall one game where he lined us up with either 9 centre backs or defensive players so the best we would ever do was grind out a 0-0. At times as a manager he was great but at other times he was terrible and he was very erratic and volatile ( not to the extent of the recent cockwomble who wore the boss’s cap). His time has been and gone and I do not want him at the club in any footballing capacity. Look and move forward not harp back to yesteryear

I know it’s not funny but your post did give me a proper bellylaugh when thinking of the nastiness that went on, to actually and selfishly hold onto pereceived control over the good of the club. That was possibly the turning point which , in my opinion, stunted any chance of real progress. I can make a fair guess of whom you write of. 

And at one point in-play we were 2nd.

Sorry, I meant wasn’t in Penny who played for Watford. Stewart went to Ipswich. Maybe I am not understanding the thread in this instance 

"I'm stunned no one asked the questions of Dunford"

Sorry, but this is hysterical. You didn't have to be a genius to work out that the club was sliding out of the football league under that regime. We put in place a management team, against the wishes of the old guard, which got us promoted in their first full season, and when one man asked for the board to consider a restructure to further stabilise the club the supporters and in particular the supporters club chose to back the status quo. A few joy riders also jumped on board to oversee the same status quo take the club out of the league into non league football.  

Nah, nobody asked questions of Dunford and Co. 

Actually, I thought it wasn't the correct approach at the time but one director did make one comment which in hindsight was spot on, "As a supporter I always wondered why we were sh*t, now that I have joined this board I now know why."
