It’s a no brainer for cotts. Well paid job, presumably, working for a bloke who has no clue and doesn’t really care what happens on the pitch. Go down and dale wont care; stay up and the fans will love him.

The circus on the hill is the gift that keeps giving

And like others, I always had a soft spot for them until Vince ruined them completely. I don’t think politicians should be allowed to run football clubs. Whilst I agree with the green agenda what if someone else ran a club to promote their political agenda I didn’t agree with? Sport is always political but it shouldn’t be this brazen

And why does it say West Country born and bred when it should say Cheltenham born and bred….

Deliberate snub . I remember the great relationship we had with Forest Green and wished them well. This is childish FGR. C'mon Accrington Stanley.

In all seriousness, they'll be safe by mid April now. Extremely disappointing he's joined the circus and I'm with Ralph, it damages his so-called legacy that he seemed so keen to protect. What he meant was, he only wanted a well-paying job with a big budget. He'll go there to try and save them as they're paying him a fortune, no doubt, but he wouldn't step in here to try and save us for the love of the club.
If he joined you and was unsuccessful he would have tarnished his legacy.

It is poor, agreed.

I'm pretty sure with SC at the helm you won't see too much petty behaviour from our media people towards yourselves or us trying to hijack any of your transfer targets though, as I doubt Steve would tolerate it. He is clearly still a big supporter of yourselves at the end of the day.

Yep,
Just wants me to see them relegated even more.

Childish is right. His most successful spell as a manager and no mention at all

Couple of comments...

Was that filmed in the Ecotricity bunker?

But, might just be me, but not convinced there's much enthusiasm from SC.

Sure it will end in tears.

Filmed at Stanley Park, the training ground we rent in Chippenham.

Not sure it'll end in tears, we've looked certain to go down before he's come in so if he keeps us up, he's done brilliantly and if not he'll not get any blame for it, will shake hands and probably walk into a different EFL job (can't see him managing in the National League). No lose situation for him really.

That Simon Hacker did the same on his article on Punchline email yesterday too. Not a mention of us.

Got to say it’s pretty pathetic and sad for a ‘professional’ club. Shame the negative publicity never sticks but all the bull positives do.

For the younger fans you have become our biggest rival, older fans will look more towards Glos and Hereford but realise we will never play them again. If you drop out of the league and Vince sells up I suspect the rivalry will be forgotten as quickly as it arose and some of our fans will be back watching you when we are not playing.

Stale has been spouting off again today that SC will be here for this season and forwards to get them to the championship Image
