My question is;

What is the process at BUFC for deciding the best man for the job?

Thats 2 successive appalling choices, who is advising David, Neil and Cookie?

The next one needs to be right, one bad appointment is unfortunate, two can be seen as careless but three looks like some one doesn't know what they are on about.........

GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME FFS!!!!!!

Agreed, Andy. I only really have one criticism of the board over the last few years and that's the manager(s) that they appoint. Only Scott & Hurst have really achieved anything (granted Tommy Taylor did a decent job in his first season).

There's no shame in asking for help!

Lets hope its not just someone who knows what he is doing but someone who can inspire and encourage players to really graft for him, a good leader on the touch line is as important as a mature, experienced leader on the pitch, something we are missing An unknown can cause scepticism from the players

Sorry guys no foolproof way of selecting a manager .    Ask Man C , Chelsea , Liverpool , Arsenal ,
fans of all these teams think they should be top of Premier .

But we are learning ,  3 months ago many thought replacing a cardboard cut-out with a gobby arm waving manager was the magic formula for success only to find it took us on a decline .

Quite right GHM. I realise it may be beyond the 'budget' but someone the players have heared of and has a successful record at a higher level  would be great. Instead of spending money on a team of pals coming in how about splashing out for a 'chosen one'.
Are there such people as freelance scouts who don't get paid a salary from one club. If there isnt what a great business idea.

O'Driscoll to Forest

And to highlight the point of Not all managers good or bad suit all clubs is that a few of them in that list had very good track records before them moves. Goes to show in some sences past records are not worth the ink on a cv. After all in our case RS and PH apart from turning illy around had nowt behind them. Managerial world is as strange as a players world

I hope that DN tries to recreate what he did with S&H, look for managers in a league or two below that have won promotion. Usually that means you get a decent manager and can poach their best players before anyone bigger realises they're good. (Like we did with Church, Newsham, Murphy and Sleath)

AVB to Chelsea,
Terry Neil to Arsenal
George Graham to Tottenham
Benitez to Milan
Hughes to Man City
Redknapp to Southampton
Woflerbeck or whatever his bloody name is t Wolverhampton this season
Terry Brown was his name who took over from Mcarthy at Wolves

The list is endless, and unfortunately all of them at one stage, like Drury were deemed to be the best candidate and therein lies the problem. there are no guarantees

The problem Boston have and well recorded problems as well is where we are. Attracting players is always going to be problematic regardless of who is in charge. Unless they really want to play flor a big, well supported club, and some players will, to even match thier current wages isn't going to be enough. If say we want a player from a midlands club who is on £200, and we match it, by the time that player comes to training twice and a home game not only would it add 6,7,8 hours a week to his driving it would also take £50,60 a week out of his wages and if he is already being taxed a little bit on those wages before you know it he could be £60-£80 down.Is it little wonder than many players then turn Boston down, certainly enough turned Drury down

Its also going to be one of the biggest problems facing Greene, should he do enough to be given the job on a full time basis. Am not sure where the guy lives, I am told somewhere down towards the Bedfordshire borders, but he has only managed at southern based clubs, and it's logical to assume thats where most of the players he may wish to bring into the club and one further assumes he would want to bring in quite a few players he knows, every manager does, live and the same financial restrictions would equally apply

Its areal toughie, there aren't many clubs local to us, certainly at our level where any manager could go fishing for players at and geography coupled with restrictive finances is always going to be a problem

Who is the perfect manager, who knows. What is clear is that the budget that Scott and Hurst worked to is not the budget new managers will be given and until such time that either finances allow, or we do stumble or appoint a managerial messiah it is becoming obvious that the teams achievement might not get anywhere near our expectations

I really don't buy into this geography thing.

If it is an issue why were we so succesful in the past, and how do clubs like Workington, Lowestoft, etc survive?

If you really want to be somewhere, i.e. the set up appeals and it's sold correctly, the location shouldn't matter

In the past we have attracted players by paying inflated wages thus the mess we were in when Chestnuts saved us .
As BG explains lost work time and petrol can add up to £100 a week , Maybe 6 hours extra travelling time a week .   Fact is money talks .
