I hope the appointment is confirmed soon so that he can start the job assembling a squad that will be capable of getting promotion. Assuming it is Lee Bradbury, he has certainly had a varied playing and coaching career at all levels that will hopefully be an asset here.

We’re leaving it far too late to be serious about any promotion push and if rumours are right about Gray turning down the offer for budget reasons we will be way down the pecking order on that side of things.

4 weeks since relegation and nothing, when Dan Hall claimed there is a plan b for relegation he was lying yet again.

3 season tickets not renewed and I know many more in the same boat.

I genuinely don't understand the above dialogue, Lee Bradbury this; someone turned down that.
I have been told, by someone present, that, at the AGM last night everyone was informed that 34 credible applicants had applied, 8 were shortlisted . This was reduced to 4 who were being interviewed yesterday/ today with an announcement likely on Monday.

I’m not saying this is wrong, but it wouldn’t be the first time the club lied would it? Also it’s not exactly hard to pull the wool over the eyes of the members club, most are too preoccupied with making sure they don’t piss their pants for the 8th time that day.

Jobs been offered to two people and they both turned it down, now feeding off the scraps.

Didn’t we have a thousand applications a few months ago and Lewis was the best candidate?

Exactly this. It also does not take 4 weeks to employ a half decent manager at this level, well it does if you’re incompetent.

To be fair they did allow the candidates a week to put the PowerPoint presentation together. This is where Gray came unstuck as he had a virus on his laptop.

So is Bradbury a good call ?
Or just another waster with a pulse ?

Would not be impressed if it is Bradbury.
Surely they wouldn't have kept Lewis even if we had stayed up, they must have been looking for a manager, not it have someone lined up is ridiculous.

I do hope we hear very soon!

Every day that passes is yet another day of not being able to get prepared for the new season. The comments, made before the season had even ended, from the board that they had a plan for if we were to get relegated are being well and truly exposed, yet again, as just one big lie.

What happened to Bradbury then ?, did he say "no thanks" as well ?.

We are a shambles. The damage Dan Hall and Steve Thompson have done and are continuing to do to this club is sickening.

We have confirmed a preseason fixture in 6 weeks, which we know will not be our first one either, and currently we have no manager, 10 players contracted to the club (at least 3 of which would be lucky if they’re not cancelled by us), 0 signings through the door and 0 extensions offered to key players. It’s disgraceful.

You can say “you don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors” and try to give the management the benefit of the doubt for the 100th time in a year. But I do know what I see. And I see nothing at all whilst others are well into their summer rebuild. Everyone needs to start getting angry and get these useless morons out of our club asap. I don’t care if we bounce straight back up, they’re both cancers on this club and it’s about time they’re removed.

Shows how serious the full members are taken by the club. Lies lies lies and more lies.
