Burgess departs

[Three of Diamonds]

Whoever comes in needs to bring 7 or 8 players in pretty quickly.

Bully adams,ex welly town,,,,and manager at st ives,,,couple of seasons back,local boy,,just as an interim untill the right person is found or,,,wayne abbott helped peaksy and the gang for a while I

Funny you should mention Wayne Abbott, someone mentioned him on Twitter and said about him coming out of retirement to manage the club, and his response was “Light work”.

We need someone to come in, instantly put their foot down, basically tell the board “I’m the manager, I’ll do my job, you’re the board, you do your job. No interference from you”

Why do you think the board were interfering with anything?? If anything they gave Burgess a lot of rope and kept supporting him when people including me wanted him gone long before now

Look back at Pressmans posts, he said players and managers talk, a lot of managers won’t show an interest in the vacant job because they would have heard that some on our board are difficult to deal with. Pressman also mentioned that interference was the reason why Andy Peaks walked. I’m just going by that, we won’t know if that was the case with Burge as well.

It was a shambles from beginning to end, we should never have appointed an inexperienced manager in the first place.Hopefully those running the club will have learnt lesson on that front.

I’d be absolutely flabbergasted if the board interfered with the manager, when I was there there was a line that should have never been crossed, I would already be available to talk if the manager wanted to, but would never impose any views if not asked. We hire a manager to manage the football club and I haven’t heard anything to suggest that has changed recently

I don’t think that’s what he meant

Such a classy statement from Burge, I had hoped he would acknowledge the club and leave with dignity and he has, no-one could deny his reign has been a disaster, but still doesn't mean you can't respect him for his history with the club and his efforts to try and make it work, good luck to him in the future.

Regarding Burg mentioning how he would like for Chris & Martin to stay , respectfully we have got to start from scratch let the new manager have his say rather than the board keeping ppl on. If Chris wants the academy position then so be it on a voluntary bases . We need as much budget to go on new management & players.

It's a and good point you make NN10 Nige re Bully's departure and it reminded me of the lack of class shown by the board to Peaksy when he left. Notwithstanding the Tamworth offer, Peaksy and his management team were fed up with the interference and attitude of two directors in particular.

I don’t think that was on team related items, which you are inferring.
