  • Asked my mate about challinor and this is what I got… Can’t say it sounds too exciting and the general consensus I have seen from Stockport fans is he is struggling this year. 
    This sounds scarily familiar..

    The bloke who nobbled Martin Pringle!
    I would say 80 precent of our fans wouldn’t have a clue who Martin Pringle is?
    Funnily enough, I bumped into Martin Pringle in Bluewater, he was quite starstruck and tongue twisted, or was it the other way round…
  • If it is Challinor I'm expecting he'll be a disaster and gone by Christmas. Hope to be proved wrong of course but I just don't see it working well

    Was he still limping ?

    I named my gold fish after him at the time, so I’m clearly the 20% 😢

    We had Pringle and Mendonca too! I would switch that and say 80% will know who he is! 
  • The last manager from League 2 did great, signed plenty of players from L2 as well for us.  That ended well.   
    Hiring a successful L2 manager worked out horrendously for Rob Edwards and Luton as well.
  • FWIW I’d be happy with Challinor or Brady. Certainly more inspiring than either Appleton or Cowley.
    Same. But I still think I’d prefer Richardson or Bowyer to both and I think they’d be realistic options

    How did it work out for Rob Edwards and Watford?

    Hard to tell if people are being genuine or facetious when saying legendary managers couldn’t get a tune out this mob. Regardless of how there may be some right crap in this team, a competent manager should be able to out-compete at least 17 of the shite clubs in this division & get top 6. 


    Those legendary managers worked with legendary players though, what makes you think they could turn our current squad into league winners?

    Sorry Fanny, I can remember, in fact I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast yesterday!

    Watford are the only club worse than us for manager longevity!
    I think that's exactly the point.  With 1 or 2 exceptions any manager that hasn't failed somewhere hasn't been given an opportunity.

    This is why bookies odds can't be seen as gospel, there's no chance Moore is rocking up to York in the national League where wages would be an issue.

    York City fans also believe it could be true. Find it very hard to believe 

    They're almost rocky bloody bottom of the National League

    Good thing it’s not the same bloke then isn’t it…

    Not sure that’s the best way judge a potential incoming manager.
    It was stated we were seeking a manager with a promotion from L1 on their CV, now we are interviewing Stockport L2 manager that has won promotion from non league only.  Does that qualify him to know about and be up to speed on what they are going to come up against in L1. Additionally this is a club with expectations above what they have encountered coupled with being a basket case and not the proper backing.  We've already seen experienced managers fall to the wayside from a dysfunctional hierarchy.

    We were told start of last season that all our L2 signings would be great on here and succeed in getting us promoted, how many of them have lasted the course.       

    Sure there are occasionally young up and coming managers form non league or L2 that have success but the Stockport guy isn't young with fresh bright ideas. 

    I have given all new mangers a chance regardless, but right now if the SMT follow the Sandgaad theory of football then there is a bigger chance of failure.  I think we have all had enough of punts of chance and we keep getting informed that they the SMT are serious knowledgeable football people, so to them, prove it.  Get someone in with at least the appropriate track record to achieve what is required.

    They have signed some big players, for the conference, this summer.  I think they are being well backed.
