Did you read it ?

Its discussed in the pdf document at the bottom within the full transcript.

Lots been made about this as we have lost two games. System seemed ok for the 3 games previous where we kept clean sheets. Think its far too easy a peg to hang the blame on.

Bit harsh on Bentley.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Thanks for the report.

He talks a very good game - and it sounds like he could have taught Flavs a thing or two - but he also admits he's transient and claims Ron isn't b*llsh*tting him, which will be his get out clause when he wants out. He hasn't moved down to Southend.

Seems to knows the inside of Chelmsford prison a bit too well, plus three of the individuals he worked with got jailed for fraud! I think that was at Derby rather than when he was put on gardening leave by one of Ron's big friends in the world of finance...

Not sure about "the youth policy at the club has always been a success story"

I wonder what the succession plan is for when he does go. Is it Penney? Brown doesn't seem to think Coughlan is a manager.

The full transcript makes a good read.

Not harsh at all on Bentley, I said after the game that first goal would have led to a flood of rage if it had been Smith. Bentley has plenty to learn and if Brown is teaching him then nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for the report.

As always the plan will be to hire someone else.

How often do clubs actually appoint internally? Not that often, and even less often does it work out.

The day Ron isn't bullshiting somebody is the day I become a born again virgin.....great report though.

That's pretty twisted logic, particularly considering the churn of managerial jobs which suggests that most appointments don't work out. Football clubs do an incredibly poor job of appointing managers (Ron to his credit actually has a decent record) and is definitely an area where they can improve.

A management change is expensive as it usually entails a new man coming in, often with his own staff, and wanting a different set of players.

Did anyone else know about the conversation Brown and Martin had 3 years ago? Must have meant that Sturrock was 2nd choice.

I thought it was common knowledge that he went for Brown first a few years ago.

I must have missed that then, as it was totally new "news" for me!
