Personally out of all the names mentioned GD is the one that I preferred. I'd imagine we'll become harder to beat as every time we played one of his Corby sides they where well organised defensively.

I know this won't suit some but I'd take Ricky Miller back as well although up front isn't somewhere we need strengthening so can't see that one.

I'd like to see us go in for Towers from Worksop Finchley, he's played under Drury before so could be a target  ;)

Behave yourself!! However, there are some other Worksop players you could take  ;)

Seriously though, although Towers splits opinion at Worksop I certainly believe he is good enough to play at Conf N level. He is on contract so would cost you ££££££££'s

Questions: -
How many times has he seen BUFC play in last 2 seasons?
Does he know any of our players and does he rate them?
What does he love about BUFC and what are his targets?
What aspect is his first priority to improve?
Will he be shipping out lots of players and bringing others in?

I think he'll be more vocal than JL on the touchline...
I create YouTube videos (BUFC/FM/CM 01-02), and stream Football Manager on Twitch as BostonUnitedFM.

I am assuming then that his CN experience was one of the biggest facters in DN giving him the job, that and from what people say his list of player contacts.
That initself begs the poser as most normally do, will he bring anyplayers with him from stamford especially as many looking at their profiles have played in the CN. Tho i have no idea about how good moat of them are, Gary King, no,no, no, Robbie Maddox, Paul Mayo, Andy Hall, James Ozman and of coure Ricky Millar (who personally even tho as Woad says we need defenders more urgently than forwards, I would definitly have back) have all played with Drury at Corby as too has Jonesy's brother a centre half, who is i think is now captain of stamford, does anyone know how good he is? Plus if his contact book is that big how many others may arrive from all over the place, could he bring in too many players.
All very interesting

Please give the new boss a chance guys. The majority wanted Jason Lee to leave remember?. He is hungry for success, good motivator and i believe has good local contacts.Not sure whether he will add the extra 300 or so on the gate but with the correct results who knows. Welcome on board Graham and Co.UTP

Second that milo, I was one of those who wanted J Lee out, I think he should have gone when canners got the push, Rumour had it that when JL got the job after Scott and Hurst left for GY, G Drury was one of the applicants for the previous vacancy, Mr Newton said himself that JL was not the 1st choice applicant at that time, was  G Drury  that original 1st choice last time? , only the board know that answer, Good luck Graham Drury and team, the fans will come back if they see the team and management are all pulling together to get up that league table.

UNDER DRURY i think by the new year we will see all our defence apart from SILK gone,
All our m/field gone, apart from MILNE's and JONE's as a m/fielder
i think he will keep NEWSHAM and S,W.D.
HE will bring better player's in at no extra cost, that's what he's good at trust him.

Fairly positive about Drury as Manager.

Local and managed and done ok at this level.

The priority for him must be to sort out our defense we never look like keeping a clean sheet. If he can make us more solid at the back then we'll do well and the season may not be already over.

Hopefully I'll get down to the ground in an hour and see what he's got to say.

As good as we could have hoped for really and although not one to get the pulses racing a sensible appointment all things considered.

I'm a lot more positive with this appointment than I was JL's 18 months ago.
