View was he is a very very good coach, not sure about a manager though as he can be very off with the players sometimes.

a)he has no succesful track record behind him as a manager.
b)relatively inexperienced and
c)seems to be being put in place simply because he's here, he's cheap there being no compensation payable.
Also, not encouraged by the fact that he
d) hasn't been linked with other management jobs since leaving Woking as assistant.
Also, like Westley and Hill, he's another Essex-based mate of the Chairman which I have an uncomfortable feeling is the main requirement for getting the job.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just concentrate on getting the right man for the job, someone with the necessary experience and someone who - like Westley - wouldn't be afraid to argue with the chairman.
Wouldn't last long but - like Westley - he might win some games.
