Forest Green Rovers can today confirm that Troy Deeney has been appointed Head Coach, following the departure of David Horseman and Louis Carey by mutual consent after a disappointing opening to the 23/24 season.
Interesting move from FGR , I think Horseman came from Southamptons U23s and it just hasn't worked out.
"Academy" coaches have been all the rage, but many haven't worked out in the grubby end of the EFL, when you have to battle your way to points, rather than playing Pep football.

FGR are suffering i m o because the owner Dale Vince having gained a lot of publicity through his ownership of the club and his vegan beliefs, has either lost interest in FGR or run out of cash. It's been reported that Vince was looking to sell Ecotricity his cash cow green energy business, and to enter politics. It seems that no party wants to adopt this man as potential candidate. Perhaps he is now devoting more time to developing his theory that artificial diamonds can be manufactured using carbon dioxide capture from the atmosphere. Good luck with that one

Crawley instantly spring to mind , almost relegated with Kevin Betsy who came with a big reputation from Arsenals U23s and then they went Matty Etherington from a similar background.
Now look a lot more settled with Scott Lindsey in charge who's got a bit more experience of the league.

And you look at the success of Steve Evans, getting a bang average Stevenage side (on paper) out of L2 and into the L1 promotion places.
I missed that one. Not a surprise, as they've been terrible this season.
It's interesting that 3 of the bottom 4 L2 sides are historically non league clubs, showing how hard it is to build up a club, even with big name owners.

Of late Forest Green have made some interesting appointments as managers.

Steve Evans is not a popular guy on the football circuit, but he's got a good record of success on his CV. I'd like him to be our next manager.

has Gary 'Nasal' Neville and his 'class of 92' buddies lost interest in the somewhat manufactured club ? .. whadya reckon ?
Paul Ince is being linked, don't know whether that's just 2+2=5 based on him being an out of work and someone who played a bit with a few of the owners.

I imagine the excitement they had, when they seemed to be getting promoted every season has dissipated, now they're in their 5th season in L2. Especially as Wrexham have stolen their mantle as a "glamorous" lower division club.

We’d need to re-employ burger boy to meet his demands though.

There is a natural order to football. The bottom 2 in L2, FGR and Sutton both feel like overachieving non league sides

Most Clubs need a genuine Left Winger.

With their owner in prison, they look like a club on the slide back down to their more natural position.
