Re: York watch....

And Gray was un-sackable, so the only pressure he would have felt was from himself, unlike now.

Re: Brown

From what I read in today's echo looks like Cartman won't have a partner. Described his favourite formation as 4-1-4-1 keep good Shape out of possession and as soon as you win back possession look to attack with pace down the wings and in behind the CB's. If that's true looks like we'll start: Bart...

Re: Beck

Fee was agreed but Beck did fail a medical. Beck will be a York player as soon as the injury has cleared up. York are not going to pay us £25k - £30k for an injured player who can't play for them immediately, from their perspective it only makes sense for the injury to clear up before proceeding. Y...

He obviously wanted him, and Beck by (having a medical) would seem to want to go.

Re: Martin Gray Story/ Interview in today's Non League Paper

I picked up a little gem from Gray at his initial press conference after taking up the York job - I"m sure it was from there, although might have been from a recent radio thing.

By memory he says 'it's not about the money, it's about giving something back to the city'

He is a card!

Re: Brown and Turnbull

They did alright I reckon.

Gray's last three games in charge produced two losses and a draw whilst B + T managed a win, a draw and a loss.

Not forgetting - Gray is a managerial genius and had Ferguson playing too.

Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant

White wasn't a major figure at Spenny so it's not the end of the world to them. Not at all. White's been given a chance to step up his job prospects by quite a degree, surely Spennymoor wouldn't want to stand in his way. I didn't mind Ferguson leaving TBH. He got the chance to be a Pro player again...

Re: Tommy Wright with Alan White as assistant

I think the fall-out at nuneaton is due to the way wright handled his departure while the spenny backlash is because of the lack of contact from our club to groves. York sacking their manager after their cup loss has created a domino effect which now Nuneaton and Spennymoor have been brought into -...

Joking aside, A.W. would probably make a good manager.

As a player he gave it his all (sometimes too much :silent: ) but off the field he seemed polite and courteous. He's also been in football as a Pro for ages, which equals lots of experience.
