As the news appears to be true, who are realistic replacements? People who aren't washed up! Any other up-and-coming young managers that would be a good investment?
-
Steve Welsh to the end of the season I'd think.
-
Canoville to oversee it for me... Welsh had his chance, but didn't do brilliantly.
-
Jason Lee may wish to have a chance of management.
-
Duffield... sorry, not the time for jokes!
-
Brian Little :D
-
i think with seven games left someone coming in from outside might not work.
Does Cookie fancy the job?
-

That's a good shout,and one i have mentioned since this Grimsby business first reared its ugly head.I remember him being interviewed on the o/s after a game earlier in the season during his short spell back.He spoke very intellingently about how they were trying to play.Think he's doing his coaching badges as well.
-

I really like the idea of this!! I think he would be fantastic! ;D
-
To say I'm shocked is an understatement, particularly at this time of the season and with the position we are in now.
Hurst is a lovely guy, Scotty a different kettle of fish. Very driven and ambitious but not very friendly.
When I take the Match sponsors round the dressing rooms etc he would always go out of his way to avoid us which is not good PR.
However, you can't let it detract from the job they did for us, and I wish them well(ish)!!!!!!!!
-
Can understand where you are coming from there Gus.... always did seem to try and avoid people
-
Simon Clarke well respected in his time as a coach at Lincoln and not done a bad job at Stamford ;)

Tash,you having a laugh mate?Stamford are in a mess,just look at their league position.He's not exactly popular with the Stamford fans either if you have a look on their forum.
-
Stamford 17th in the league think we can do alot better
-
Put it this way, with our position, squad, owner/chairman, support and potential for going at least a step higher in the not to distant future we should have plenty of interest from very decent candidates.
Probably applying as we speak!
-
We all have to understand there is no loyalty in football ,this happens and all you can do is thank them for their contribution and claim the compensation. Its no good blaming a team from a higher division for trying to poach your manager. Nobody moaned when we sign players from other teams during the season. Lets dust ourselves down and get on with it.
TIMING
You have to take the chance when it comes ,it may not come again. A chance to go fulltime closer to home ,to manage in a higher div really is a no-brainer. How many of us would really want to deny one of our players a chance to play fulltime football . managers have dreams as well as players, so please lets not start sniping and slagging off the two people amongst others that have given us almost two seasons of entertaining football and a club and team to be proud of.
-
Jason Lee and his mate Canners!
-
I doubt we'll be short of quality applicants, given that our Board made the right decision last time around.
Onwards and upwards.
-
Fair play to RS and PH, they've deservedly got a full time job. But if they had waited just two months, we ourselves could have got them full time football at a higher level. If we didn't get promoted, then i'm sure a BSP club would have offered them a job somewhere anyway. The timing of this is horrible.
I wouldn't find Jason Lee and Canners as joint managers. Worked wonders with Barrow when we were last in the BSN, it got them promoted, why couldn't it still work in this case?
Here comes another few weeks of speculation!
-
Give it to Canners and Lee until the end of the season, if they want it, then look again in the summer.

Probably spot on there re the fulltime. One or two players are probably wanting fulltime for next season too and could change things here a bit if not guaranteed.
Personally wish them both well and thanks for all they have done for BUFC.
Scotty had better watch out though. They have already started with all the Chuckle Brothers stuff on the Fishy Forum.
-
How about Rob's brother, Andy?
-
completely agree with faraway pilgrim. SnH were allways moving on from us and this seems to good an opportunity to pass up. Timing is poor for us but at look at where we are now against where we were before them.There must be some quality managers out there at our level who would look at what we have and what we could be and take us on to the next level. Thanks SnH and good luck.
-
FC Halifax Town Manager would do
-
Maybe Nicky Law would like to manage a bigger club?

anyone but Nicky Law. Cnut of the highest order.
-

He's favourite in my book.
Who's in charge Saturday? Steve?
-
How about Graham Drury from Corby, might be worth a sniff. Or the 2 lads doing the job at Kings Lynn, both up and coming, and seem to be getting more right than wrong.
-
Wasnt Drury suppose to have been in the running last time around?
-
How about Neil Allison of North Ferriby Utd? 3rd in the league on a shoestring budget.
Or Mark Atkins of Matlock Town, he would hopefully bring 28 goal Ross Hannah with him.
The timing is just absolutley awfull really to get new managers in.
We are in aposition now which not many people expected at the start of the season (play offs) hopefully the players can push on now and more importantantly the fans REALLY get behind every single player, this season can so easily finish up being a corker if everyone can stick together!

.....
Ferriby play very good attacking football as well. Best footballing performance I've seen against us this season was at Ferriby.
Good luck finding a replacement, hope the Board make the right appointment for you.

I was just about to mention both the Matlock and North Ferriby managers! Atkins would be a good appointment, IMO.
-
Drury has just signed a new contract at Corby (thank god )
Maybe some of Alfreton players would like to see the back of Law ?
I think the players will still be aiming for same goal Saturday (promotion )
-
Anyone know where you can find odds on the next manager? Be interesting to see who the runner sand riders are...

Will be here:

if anybody puts a book together.
-
I'd doubt there would be a book for the next BUFC manager.
-
As they walked will their be any compo from grimsby
-
John Blackwell ;)
-
I read in one of the papers reports a compensation deal had been reached? But obviously that could just be paper talk. Would be pretty minimal though given they only had a short period of contract remaining.
-
Like politicians most managers come a cropper in time . .
We need a manager who has only just stated out on that path ..like they were a year last May ..
-
As long as it's not Tommy Taylor...
-
He looked the part if nowt else ..
-
All the gear, no idea ;D
-
All the gear, no idea ;D
Sounds like me on the Golf course!
-
He could bring in some promising Spaniards from the Costa de crimo . . !
-
Same type of appointment as last time please DN, no washed up has-beens.
Whose going to take temporary charge? Steve Welsh?
-
Moore on a temporary til end of season?
-
Can't imagine we could afford someone like Ronnie Moore or Jim Gannon? They are full time managers, with no other job to fall back on. I wouldn't expect them to be short of offers at the end of the season, if not before.
Can't see why someone like that would want to drop down to our level for a month to try and get us promoted. What's in it for them?
-

I hope not - any way how are Corby doing lately?
-
For me, the successful candidate will be a young and ambitious, perhaps looking for his first role in management. Previous playing experience in senior non-league and the lower Football League preferred. The successful appointee will inherit a young squad, and will therefore need excellent motivational skills and demonstrable experience of leading by example. Ideally we should look to appoint someone who is Boston United "through and through", and who is well respected by the chairman and the majority of the supporters.
When can you start, Mr Ellender?
-
Do we really want Ellenders style of football?????????/

Realistically though, we're not going to get Arsene Wenger. And it wouldn't be any worse than Steve Thompson's style of football, would it?
-
Art imitates life...Rob Scott's just left Boston United on my latest Football Manager save.
What's John Beck doing these days?
-
can we get SMITHY till the end of the season?
-
David Holdsworth next season? Started at Ilkeston before going on to Mansfield.
-
common sense dictates that a manager whether brought in externally or someone already working at the club would only get the job until the end of the season as we don't know whether we'll be full time or part time yet as we will not know what league we will be in. We need a manager right now that knows the majority of the players in our squad and a decent knowledge of the BSBN. If we get promoted then the whole scenario will be different with a Different league to neg and possibly full time football.
I personally like the sound of Lee Canoville and Jason Lee pairing up to manage the team until the end of the season. Both know the league we are in and BOTH know all the players at the club (Barring the loan players in Lee's case of course!) I think it is essential we get someone that the players know then re-assess at the end of the season.
