Post by: Old yellow on September 12, 2010, 07:24:52 AM
Are we still in discussions with the managers over a new contract?

That is more important than anything else OY. The Chairman must do everything he can to keep S&H at the club, not that i think they would be looking to jump ship anyway.
Just like to say how much i enjoyed the game yesterday, what a cracking game!!!
One more thing, yesterday i bought some chips and curry from the Spain Road grubstop. May i say if anyone has not tried this wonderful dish, you've missed a treat. No more burgers for me, chips and curry for me from now on!!  :P

check the grassy knoll and the chips and curry.

Lonegunman I think Plastic Yonk would disagree about the chips/curry!

Like i've said, no more greasy burgers, pies with very little inside, warm plastic sausage rolls, it's chips and curry all the fooking way for me from now on!!!  ;D

I've paid £25 for a meal that was nowhere near as tasty as the chips and curry i had yesterday. Next time i'm going to ask where they get the curry from!

How did we get from S&H to chips & curry. We should use chips&curry when referring to Scotty&Hurst to deflect attention away from their growing reputation, people will think we are all crackers when reading " chips&curry best thing to happen at York street in years"  ;D ;D ;D

On the serious subject of the the managers contracts, theres not alot the club can do if the managers are attracting attention from clubs from a similar or higher division. Like most of our young players who all express a desire to work and play at the highest level possible the managers must feel the same. We all have a hidden selfishness by wanting them to stay, but what right have we got to stand in their way to better themselves in a higher division. Say Gainsborough sack their manager, then offer our managers a bigger budget to work with and a higher salary ( lets face it we all work for one reason only. to earn the money to pay the bills) why should we stand in their way. Same for any player whos got a chance to earn more for doing the same job ie, 90 mins of football twice a week. Football has no loyalty, clubs cannot have it both ways. One year contracts  that includes not paying the players through the summer. lets enjoy the moment because it will too soon be gone.

I don't think S & H will break their contracts but I wouldn't be surprised if they left for a bigger club next summer. And since they would leave us in a better position they they found us, I wouldn't complain either.
But some of us are lucky enough to be able to choose a job not just for the money but also how much we enjoy it and so S & H may want to stay a while longer because they like working for Newton and Kempster.

Agree in general, but for them to go to Team Tinpot would be the mother of all self-contradictions, seeing as they're so keen to tell us how the players' motive for being here is not money but a desire to play for a big club. I think these two will stick with us unless they get an offer for a League job - partly because I think they'll get us into the Conference National pretty quickly anyway.

Got to love the mind games going on with Hurst in the interview after the Workington game "is there any point in going as everyone has got them to win already" referring to Alfreton, loving it

I thought the two post match video interviews with Paul Hurst and Jamie Yates were excellent.As fans we all have views on certain players,and we are all entitled to our opinions,but it is clear in both interviews how important the role of Danny Davidson is to both the managers and the players.

Lets not forget that H&S arent exactly in a rush to move, they have their entire management career ahead of them, and they are already at a big non-league club, at the moment it would take a top 4 BSP side or a League 2 side to tempt them away. And even then its doubtful that a side like that would want to take the risk on 2 young managers unproven at that level.

So I think they are here to stay for the foreseeable future...

As long as Ronnie Moore keeps doing a good job, we'll be reet.  I think they would be fools to go elsewhere just yet.  You would assume that extra income if they get us up again would give them full time management with us and back to back promotions would give them a lot of time to learn their trade in times of trouble if we don't do so well.

And like someone says above, it's big named ex prem players or the old guard that manage League 2 teams.

Aye when I talk of S & H of leaving next summer, its Rotherham I'm thinking of them going to. My brother-in-law (who barely misses a Millers game, home or away) reckons if they don't go up this season, then Ronnie Moore will go. I imagine (and he tells me) our two would popular choices as successors. So, as Chris B says, we should all be adopting Rotherham as our second team...
