    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.

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

    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.

    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.
    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.

    I would like it if somehow we could get Steve Cooper in as our manager.
    Reckon he'll be Palace manager before long.

    This feels like a very good fit , Hodgson might want to see the season out but if results drop off , Cooper is the perfect man for the job

    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.
  • Surely Dean Holden has to be a serious consideration for Salford being a local lad?

    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.

    Wife said he was mentioned on Talksport earlier as a candidate.
  • Appleton comes from up thay way. Hope Neville sees what a great job he's doing with us & will want to nab him.

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

    £2m compensation hopefully

    Usually the compo is paid monthly in the form of wages (like gardening leave). If the manager gets another job, then the compo stops.

    He's a big lad.
  • Fleetwood Town can confirm Lee Johnson has left the club with immediate effect.

    Assistant Manager Darren Way and First Team Coach Phil Jevons will also depart – everyone at the Club would like to place on record our thanks to Lee, Darren, and Phil for their hard work and professionalism during their time at the club.

    The Club will issue a further update on the first team staff in due course.

  • Only appointed in September.

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