Welcome home to the Shire.

He could save Gloucester from what looks like inevitable relegation. If he excels in National South he could get a move to the Conference and work his way up.

Based on what? He played 10 times for us and did absolutely nothing.

If he was League Two standard then a League Two team would have picked him up. Every player finds their standard.

Two seasons experience in the USA and his obvious talent If you read the article he had league offers.

Sacramento are a decent standard as far as US football goes. One league down from the MSL. But that leagues quality is slow

The MLS standard is shite so the level Sacramento are playing at must be pretty dire. Conference is probably his level.

That “had League offers” is agent speak. If he was League quality and had contract offers on the table from League clubs then why would he sign for Gloucester City?! Come on...

No he hasn't :lol:
Reading between the lines.. the club took on a GM. Buckle was Technical Director and Head Coach. There would be a conflict between GM and TD. I don't like the guy but he had a winning record here and took Sacremento to the playoffs each year of the 3 he was here. I just think he decided that he wouldn't have the authority anymore that he was enjoying. The team took on a GM to help guide them towards MLS

So he walked because the club wanted to bring someone else in above him? Even better.
