Plenty of time to turn it around and climb up to the promotion battle.

Sad to see Paul Groves and Niall Clarke go, genuinely nice folk, so probably no place in football for them. At the end it felt like a defeated boxer on the ropes taking a battering. I wish them only the best for the future.
Lee Mansell was at Bristol Rovers coaching up to May, but also as a player. He scored the winning penalty in a shoot out when they beat Grimsby in the Conference Play Off final a few years back. I was there, he looked a very competitive player, qualities which he will hopefully bring to us.

I saw one of Paul Groves’ interviews and he did seem a nice, thoughtful, calm and intelligent chap. As you say, not the type of characteristics the average football fan respects.SHANDY VOR wrote:Sad to see Paul Groves and Niall Clarke go, genuinely nice folk, so probably no place in football for them.

Mansell played against us a few times for Rovers, Oxford and Torquay. It would be great to see him get City promoted and to face him again as manager in L1 or L2.
