Mr. Newton, I hope you read this post and take serious stock of the situation the club is in by appointing the wrong manager. To be frank, we have an amateur bullshitting his way into managing our team and everyone knows now this guy isn't the answer. I hear you mentioning budget issues, and I'm sure we all appreciate the money and time you put in to keep us going but going cheap is just not the answer any more. Please do right by the club and cut this guy loose and start again next season. We don't want journeymen or big stars, just players that will give their all and show a little respect for the paying customers and a decent clued up gaffer who knows how to get the best for the best price. I don't want us splashing the cash like Trinity, I realise that's not sustainable. If you don't make the managerial change soon, people like myself, and almost 400 others will not venture back next season. I hope I've shown you the upmost repsect you deserve David, please think about the damage this current bunch are doing and make the right choice.

Agree too, but will he, or any of his minions, read it!!

Am not saying you're wrong guys but just to sidetrack slightly. Imagine if we took all of this combined effort that some are showing into condemning Drury, albeit to be fair with some justification at the moment, were to instead channel that in supporting the team the ground would sound and rock like ST James Park or Fratton Park and who knows that might actually help everyone?
Just a thought.
-
How about showing Newton some respect and respecting his choices. After all, it's his money.
And how about less of the name calling? Labelling Drury a cretin is beyond the pale, surely?
-
He's not a cretin but a poor manager !

For someone who say's "I delve in to non-league when Posh are too far away". you seem to be taking a lot of interest in BUFC at the moment and spending most of the time defending our manager. I agree with you on one point he is not a cretin.

Granted - though i've followed your fortunes for years having hailed from near Spalding. I also look out for King's Lynn's results, but i've more affection for you lot than that crowd.

I agree with this first post. I just cannot bring myself to comment on Satudays disaster.
I think David Newton realises he has made the wrong decision, looking at him in the stands after the game. But how to get rid is more of a problem.
I would suggest that if we do not win on Tuesday, the chairman should ask the manager to leave immediately. I would put Steve Welsh in charge to the end of the season and plan to get a new manager in for next year as soon as possible after this season ends
All this rumour about bringing in more players. Last week the manager said he would stick with the players he had. After that 1 left, 1 more in. No idea what will happen this week. It is all an excuse to defer the inevitable. Think we have seen these comments and tactics before and look whare that got us.

Thanks AGL, but apart from your 2/3 mates on here I think it fair to say there is little affection for you and your buddys from most posters on here . Has Graham been turned down by Lynn at some time ?
I am sure you are posting in good faith but I ,m afraid you are doing Graham no favours , people on here are not gullible enoungh to fall for all the Drury propaganda you post . Most found it amusing to start with but now it is getting tiresome .

As i've said, GHM, i couldn't give a monkeys how GD does with you boys.
And, i know of no-one else who posts on here. I used to post, back in the day, and the only person i recognise, though it looks as if he's had a change of name, is Andy Butler. Rooster Isaac is about the only name i remember from back then. Oh, and the person that was behing Impstalk used to post?

For someone who does not give monkeys about Drury you seem to be going to a lot of trouble to defend his appalling record at Boston .

Do I?
All i've said is his actions seem to reek of a budget cut.
-
Get the guy Setchell in from Kings Lynn. He seems to be able to work to a budget and acheive results. Only got to look at the run they had in the Trophy to kow he can do it at this level, and higher. Drury is a just a journeyman Manager and we deserve better than that.
-
Lynn used a sledgehammer to crack a walnut in the UCL, and didn't even win it in two attempts.
Their budget this season has to be one of, if not the, highest in the division.
-
Maybe Kings Lynn could afford to pay above the going rate to get out of the United League. I dont think their gates are anywhere near as big as ours, so how can Setchell have a bigger budget than Drury ? or do Lynn have a rich businessman pumping in money ? I have seen Lynn play once this season ( Coalville) they looked a really decent side, which is more than we look.

We still should have picked up far more points, Reek of excuses tbh!
-
Get Setchell in from Kings Lynn, are you mad sir?
Whilst he may be a great manager time I guess will tell that, if on the one hand we continually slate Drury(not me I hasten to add, far to polite for that) for the lack of his winning pedigree, being out of his depth, cant cut it in the Conference North etc et, how on earth could anyone possibly consider getting in another manager from the Evos Stick, and one most certainly has no pedigree higher than he is
Come on people you cant have it every way....can you?
I need to rest ???
-
I take your point BG, but can i say its a little bit of black N white way of looking it. On one hand we have a Journeyman Manager, who is at best a decent level 4 manager. The other chappie is a young guy, played the Non league game at a decent level, in his first real management position and has made a decent job of it. With him you might be buying into potential, what have we bought into with Drury ?
-
Big clubs very rarely buy into potential though, unfortunately it simply doesn't happen, and to question as you have every right to do Drurys appointment is to also even if its done subliminally qustion the wisdom and decision making of the chairman. Something until he openly suggests otherwise I am not going to do. In fact it's another reason why, inspite of all logic I still support 'our' manager as I did indeed the la one, and the one before that, in fact all of them really!
-
All People, (including Football Club Chairman) make mistakes. Its what one does after making that mistake that counts. At some point Mr Newton will look around York Street and see the size of the crowd, and maybe think to himself. Did I get it wrong ? Now what do I do to get things back on track.
BG I admire your faith in believing that those control the throttle and steering wheel know exactly what they are doing. I feel its already time to scrap that vehicle and look at bringing in a different model. Now I maybe wrong, then again so might you be.

Easy one to answer semiom ,
1 , Lynn rent the Walks off the council for a peppercorn rent , I guess £100 against our £72k /year .
2 , Lynn liqudated instead of going into admim , clears all historic depts that way (bugger the creditors ) Admin cost us a reputed £1.4 million .
You may have gathered I have big doubts about Drury at BSN level but in fairness at UCL level with the Lynn budget I think he would have delivered promotion.
-
Have to agree with the original post.
In normal business, Drury will have failed in his probation period. Mr Newton will thank him for his work but point out that Drury has not managed to attain the level expected and required of him as per his original employment interview. Steve Welsh and/or Martyn Bunce should then be asked if they wish to manage the team for Tuesday night's game. :bunny

Whats normal in all other aspects of life though ddoesn't apply to football, and never has. Look at Southampton, they are still paying their last manager rather than pay up his contract, even though to most he was sacked 6 weeks ago. You couldn't make it up could you?

I didn't in fact said they know what theyare doing, I was simply reiterating that as a loyal supporter I will fully endorse and support the decisions of the chairman especially this one in whom we are greatly indebted, until such time he either admits he was wrong or brings in a new manager
At this stage, without knowing the details of the contract given to Drury, any requirements the chairman expected during his tenure (if any) the length of the contract and if there were any caveats inserted that in reality allows either party to walk out and or terminate said contract who will decide if Drury has failed under achieved or even fallen short of Newtons expectations
But you right semion, I most definitely could be wrong sir as Mrs G has great pleasure in telling me, I often am! :'(
