New manager poll

[jjljks]

I have waited longer for a hospital appointment than this one. Try to be patient & hope the Board get the right man! Think Brexit & Boris Johnson slowing things down

[norwich darlo]

compensation is easy just ask York

Surely we can just palm them off with a friendly....All gate receipts to Blyth obviously...

Easy just cut out the middleman ...york v Blyth sorted.

[Darlopartisan]

What about Adam Lakeland at Farsley Celtic he's young ambitious did well at Curzon Ashton his time at Northwich Victoria was understandably difficult, he's got Celtic playing well and to cap it all he's got a beard. Seriously worth a look though.

Looks ideal, not a bad shout, compare his record to Hardys or Tommy Wrights and it stands out, yea I think he would suit the club.

Bump Bump

I hope it’s Tommy Wright, young and fresh. I think give him a chance.

[olrad]

Looks like plan C then

I'm for Armstrong, also young, nice bloke to boot and done a good job at Spartans

"However, talks over terms with Darlington’s preferred manager had not reached a successful conclusion last night, so Quakers could look to other candidates from last week’s interview process."

Does this mean the main target has knocked it back now ? As said time for plan C

[dfc4me]

Or the managers current club want more compensation than we are prepared to pay.

They wanted 2 friendlies?



Seriously though, its not good if club end up having to go for a 2nd choice manager.



Out of curiosity, where does Tommy Wright live and work? If he is based down near Nuneaton, then it seems a long way to come for training on a midweek as well as games etc.

[D_F_C]

Would be happy with Armstrong and disappointed with Wright

[princes town]

Nothing on the Echo website to indicate who is coming in.

There wouldn't be. News like this will be kept under an embargo and released by all parties at the same time.

I'd expect that anyone in a position to know anything about it would remain tight-lipped about it so anything said here or elsewhere should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Hopefully we'll find out today.

Patience is a virtue sadly lacking with social media and since 2012 has wasted a lot of time for previous directors with emails,texts&phone calls stemming from rumour not fact. Hopefully not too long to wait for the official announcement.

can't live with it, Can't live without it.

[Radar]

It's been dragged out that's for sure. Surely there's complications we didn't invisage.

[princebishop]

Perhaps people's day jobs are just getting in the way of agreements being reached and decisions made?

I'd be very disappointed if it's Tommy Wright. Bang average player, done nothing as a manager.

time line.......finish interviewing Fri, make an offer Sat, first choice has second thoughts Sunday, Monday second choices club tries to screw a better deal than we are willing to give them? Craig David made faster progress

btw, all the above.....................based on no facts whatsoever

[onewayup]

Nothing is insurmountable ,a solution to the hiccup will be found.New management in by Wednesday/Thursday.

If he hadn’t have played for us I’d not have thought he’d have made it on to a long list never mind a short list...

His knowledge, experience and contacts in the north east non league scene will obviously be limited or nil. And thats largely our pool plus i cant imagine he has his finger on the pulse with the north east league academies which can also be useful. Theres also a long thread on the nuneaton fans forum on who theyll get if TW is sacked (cos the knives have been out) and it doesnt make good reading.

[Beano]

I think many are simply unaware that Tommy Wright won the Southern League title with Corby against all the odds as it wasn't in our region, so I wouldn't write him off by any stretch of the imagination.

With regard to a knowledge of local players, the ones capable of playing for us are generally well-known and playing for rivals such as Blyth, Spenny, etc. It must also be said that Martin Gray did not attempt to sign any rough diamonds from local football and instead spent as much as he could on the best players he thought he could attract. I have no objection to that if it is sustainable, but I would like us to improve and develop players scouted from local football, even if that is the 'Big Three' reserves and U21s.

Then relegating them. Would be a massive disappointment.

[LoidLucan]

The season after corby's relegation back down he was sacked with them being second bottom of the evo stik prem having won one of their first 12 games.

[Darlojohn99]

Tommy Wright and his family love the area. They still have links here. They are always up here, mainly in Middlesbrough. He was at Middlesbrough Sports Village in August. He has always looked at opportunities in the area.

But it looks like it’s dragging on. Something isn’t right. Maybe we have had a change of plan and speaking to Whitby?

[Darlo_Pete]

We must be hitting problems if it's taken this long to appoint Gray's replacement.

[darlo reborn]

WOULD`NT BE DARLO WITHOUT PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!

[Darlojohn99]

Maybe they have realised and have spoken to Whitby.

[Quakerz]

Well as the manager was never going to be announced until Sunday at the earliest, and we're now only 24 hours later, I'd not say we've hit big problems yet.

Obviously AA has turned us down, but I'd rather that happen than we overstretch ourselves to accommodate whatever snagging points he had.

We have a part time, understaffed board who will have to make time to go through candidates again, possibly interview some people again, and so on.

Spot on. Need to remember this. I'm intrigued to who it's going to be, but I'll wait patiently (as long as they get the right man). I too hope they look at Hardy, but I hope we aren't biggin him up too much

[Quakerlad]

Really disappointed, Armstrong was the right choice. Shows how we have fallen when we cannot get Blyth manager to join us, reality check again.
Please don't let it be Tommy Wright, but equally, not sure Hardy has enough or any experience of our level or connections across the wider geographical area needed to attract players to us from outside the local region. There again, dont really know now who would be right!

If Armstrong has turned us down, or Blyth have refused it, at least it means our board are (in my opinion) thinking along the right lines in terms of profile.
