Re: Tonights games.

Arnu, I totally agree with Mike and as it happens your comments regarding Portsmouth are of some note considering they currently sit well, and I do mean well, above our current standing in the league and also appear to be well placed for a promotion push. I can handle a team that struggles to win if...

Re: Tonights games.

Arnu, I still have an issue with the "if this and if that" part of your argument. As a Greek philosopher once said "If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle" I can remember times when this club had absolutely NO MONEY regularly played against teams that were far superior and better...

Re: Tonights games.

Arnu, in a previous thread I made the point that the board are the people really at fault as to why we are placed where we are at this time and in some sense you confirm that. Your comment that for 2 years the club endured poor performances from JS and that WB lasted 2 years is ample comment to say ...

Re: Tonights games.

Arnu, it is not often I disagree with you, but this time I do. Sad to say it, but WB was a poor manager and a poor judge of talent which transcended in to the players he picked up to play for this team. If a player is a crap player, no matter what you pay him, he is still going to be a crap player. ...

Re: The Journey Is Nearly Over

As with most on here, I think your initial post Dashers covers a lot of areas. However, I think one thing that lends itself as to why we are where we are today is, to put it simply as someone wrote, we have continued to identify ourselves as a small (pub) team from Essex the minute we gained promoti...

Re: John Still

I posted previously that if you put all the resume's together of those currently looking in the lower divisions for managerial positions and blanked out the names, JS's resume based on results within his circle of expertise, would stand out as one of the better candidates. In fairness and with some ...

Arnu wrote "Stilly might get a few more people thru the turnstiles, raise morale a bit initially but we'll still bump around the bottom 5 and I wouldn't be surprised if you all wanted Burnett back 6 months down the line. John Still left because he needed a new project so he says. What's new abo...

Re: Luton Appear To Have Done It..............

Arnu, I have long said this is all about business, and hiring (back) a successful coach makes good business sense. As in any relationship be it sports or other, there comes a time when the relationship has just run it's course. I have long said that JS is the very best lower league manager I can rec...

Re: Luton Appear To Have Done It..............

Bringing JS back now is a no brainer. If you took out his name and placed his resume up against any other lower league manager looking for a position, based on his overall success, as I say, it is a no brainer. He will not be out of a job for too long I am pretty sure of that. Arnu, I understand the...

Re: Paris

Just seen this thread so apologies for being late, but here is my 10 cents worth. As an immigrant, I have a slight advantage on this topic as I have gone through the process and been allowed through those doors and I am very grateful that I was allowed in to my home country Canada. Moving to another...

Re: Daggers strategy

As I have said before in other threads, this board appears to have the idea that failure (losing more games than we win and being relegated) is a sign of success. These awards may prove their point. Although surprisingly, winning a few games and averaging crowds in excess of 2,200 would have a simil...
