Darlo Uncovered

As a left winger Mills seems to have a decent goalscoring record. I wonder if Trotman is more the sort of full back you would want playing a back 3 than our existing full back options?

Maybe some departues from those pushed down the pecking order?

Was a MoM announced, or was it considered inappropriate in the circumstances?

Received email from DFCSG - upshot is we now will vote for 7 new directors. It says: 'There has been a change of circumstances since the notifications were sent out. In view of the quality of the nominations received for the vacancies for the DFCSG board, current board member Sue Connor, after readi...

Realistically its going to be very difficult to say no to a player who is given the opportunity to go full time. The important thing is to ensure we get a fair price at the time with sell on clauses so that we benefit if they are able to progress thru the full time ranks.

Makes a nice change for people to be debating who deserves man of match with several to choose from rather than who was least worst.

Statement from Nuneaton: 'Manager departs... WE CAN confirm that at 6.30pm this evening, Tommy Wright, contacted Chairman, Lee Thorn, who is currently on a long-awaited family holiday in Spain, to inform him that he was resigning from his position as manager. This has come as a major surprise to eve...

Always found his posts informative, never abusive or offensive, a real gent.

We have lost a true supporter, but that is nothing to what his family have lost.

Going to help the club's board out by creating a list of people who are Darlo through and through. In no particular order: Alan White Kevan Smith Andy Toman Vic Reeves Zoe Birkett Joseph Pease George Stephenson Craig Stoddart Darrien Wright And my Dad Anyone else I've missed off? Joseph Pease only ...

That would be one hell of a jump up for them.

Currently play in Northern Aliance Team Valley Carpets Lge 2

Craig Stoddart tweet - and in Echo?

David McGurk has turned down the job according to Hyde Utd

Yep, I think the board might want to perhaps invite more applications, or maybe seek permission to talk to a certain club about a certain manager who may have made an enquiry about the job but not sent a CV in. I'm not sure after choices 1 and 2 from the interviewees turned us down, that we should ...

Wright seriously doesn't offer anything surely. Not from the area, is he really going to uproot his family for a part time job at Darlo. It's bad enough players travelling but the manager! His record at our level is poor with a full time team! . Not a popular choice with fans, haven't heard any pos...

I'm suprised we've got to this stage of the evening and nobody has been on to demand that the club make a statement.

Interesting line in Stoddart's tweet

'Talks reached a stalemate yesterday'

Suggests it wasn't a straight rebuttal from the club but a deal couldn't be reached?

Getting some revenue into the club thru the radio broadcasts must be worth looking at. On the basis of no hard evidence whatsoever I would think the great majority of listeners to home games are us exiles so a local Darlo firm might not be too keen to put adverts in. More home based fans presumably ...

One potential candidate for me is Andy Toman who has a good knowledge of the North east scene and is currently coaching in Norway. He also has a good knowledge of the club and was a terrific midfield player. One form left field but the more I think about it the more interesting he becomes as he ful...

At his request, no reason given.

Has the club given any indication of the timescale they are working to for appointing the new boss?

Senior players covering is the only practical option but you wouldn't want it to continue for long.

An interesting concern was raised by Mel Prescott: I served on the DFCSG board from November last year until August, when I felt I needed to step down, primarily due to starting a new job. However, I was also disillusioned with the way the Football Club and DFCSG interact and the lack of opportunit...

Not sure if its been mentioned elsewhere in the chaos of the last few days, but Harry is moving to York with Gray - from Craig Stoddarts piece in the Echo linked from a recent tweet

There you go

Might just be playing with words, but the York press website article says

'City agreed to pay a release clause in Ferguson's contractin order to secure his signature'

Signed this afternoon. Bartlett possibly next ? So apart from tezza making this statement where else is it mentioned , or are we in speculation overload? There is no mention of these transfers on the club website, the york club site, northern echo, york press I would have thought if it were true it...

Mind you he is welcome to Beck and although Ferguson is a talented player we have Thommo, Gillies and the lad from Tranmere plus Caton to play wide.£60 k a pretty good deal though with hopefully a sell on clause for Ferguson.

Yes, I think it was a great idea to ask for CVs. In fact it's spurred me on to update mine.... problem is so far it reads something like: "Plenty to say, nil football knowledge, tactically inept, no achievements, crap at man management and useless with budgets." Still, there may be hope. Steve McCl...

Wanting investment.

I assume they are trying to talk him out of it rather than persuade him to do it

And there we have it, like I said a couple of days ago to all those who thought it for the best and good riddance to Gray, good riddance to talk of investment etc etc . Club unstable and a laughing stock yet again......no manager, no coaches, no plan, no stand, no money.......and soon no best playe...
