Yes and the FA and Conference boards still haven,t twigged it yet. Shows what an out of date senile old tossers they are :!:
But Garry Hill has only ever been a manager at those clubs mentioned and I don't think the FA and Conference board has any say who a club appoints as their manager.
However, the question of club directorship is a completely different matter. :evil:

The only thing entertaining about his time in charge was his post match interviews. "The lads look great on the training ground"......"We'll take the positives"... etc. What a joke. He made watching the Diamonds feel like a chore.
That was a strange appointment requested by the gang of three under the leadership of Darren Burney.
I wonder where we would be now if that consortium had succeeded in taking over the Club?
Hang on a minute, Burney was a property developer and came from Essex so we all know the answer to that question :evil: .

I think that they a real problem in setting the criteria and then having the required expertise in researching a potential director's background and if they get it wrong they then risk being sued by that particular individual.

I still remember the picture of him on the OS the day he was appointed, he looked like a painter and decorator who was very lost.
:lol: :lol:
Best description ever. I always wanted to go to those training sessions, they sounding amazing.
Oh and Hill positives; the SS Final, maybe beating Burton 2-1 at home (scraping the barrel), I really can't think of any apart from the SS Final.
Weren't all the Oxford home thrashings under Mr. Hill? I enjoyed them! Two 3-0's and a 5-0 or something? I remember the one that was on Setanta with Jackson scoring a right beaut!
