    So he never wanted to be a manager. Staying with Blackpool was just to keep things a float. Resignation before start. I wonder if tapped up??? That’s the delay in assistant announcement. Funds obviously there as Todd turned it down. We will have to see ????

    They might as well bring the "Big Dipper" with them,
    Just about everything "Blackpool" is being recruited....

    Think his bank manager might have had a word.

    If only I’d tried a bit harder at school I could have worked out what the above meant.
    We will have to see????..... ????
    Funds for what?
    Resignation before start

    Football is such a straight forward game, why all this in the know nonsense. This is a great football club, we are privileged to have one, I don’t get all the waffle, nonsense, bickering and above all ludicrous rumours. Players come in and there’s excitement. But the faithful of this club jump on every single item with rumours and tell tales. Bicker bicker bicker.
    What difference does it make to anybody if an ex number2 of the manager of our club leaves his club.

    Drury has already been confirmed as assistant manager so this was never going to happen

    "This led us onto talk about the backroom staff, which has had plenty of supporter focus this pre-season. Gary Bowyer had recently spoken in the Telegraph & Argus about the assistant manager situation that had prompted some concerns this area is being neglected; albeit the subsequent announcements of John Vaughan and Ben Rome have eased fears.

    But what of the assistant manager? Ryan and Mick confirmed that Martin Drury will be taking on that role. And, crucially, that Bowyer is happy about that. I tried to push this point – viewed cynically, the fact Drury has two years on his contract to run means Bowyer has little choice – but Ryan argued that Bowyer could have changed it if he really wanted to. There might still be tweaks here and there to the backroom staff, but Bowyer rates Drury and wants to keep him."

    Yeah saw that yesterday. I think City would be daft not to consider it. A successful partnership at Blackpool,.Now that McPhillips is available, we have to think long term. Get him in and rekindle the partnership

    Reading the T&A article, I think Bowyer accepts it wont happen because of finances. He states that there are staff already here under contract, and we have to cut our cloth accordingly.

    If I was Bowyer, I would be presenting the best possible case to Rupp, that appointing an assistant of his choice, one who was successful with Bowyer too, would be too good an opportunity to dismiss.
