    "With regards to player recruitment, this process is ongoing"


    Shouldn't we be leaving this with the new manager?

    I'm concerned that we're trying to sign players without a manager in place

    Updating the pitch and training pitches is a massive commitment and one which should be applauded.


    Please please please stick to your words and appoint a head coach who agrees with the model. If that’s what they want then fair play. But don’t go for a Grayson type who wants the world from a division two club.

    It hasn’t happened for the past two season as well documented.

    The whole point of the set up that they prefer is that you're not reliant on a manager.

    After Simon Grayson left the club earlier in the week, the club remains fully focused on making wide-reaching improvements on and off the field.

    We appreciate that it is important to keep our fans informed of our plans. With regards to player recruitment, this process is ongoing. The structure we have in place has allowed us to continue preparing for the upcoming transfer window. Whilst Greg Abbott is recovering from Prostate Cancer, he is still playing an important role in this process.

    On the managerial front, our preferred criteria is that the Head Coach we appoint must have the proven ability to develop a team over a longer-term period and, most importantly, to improve each individual player within his squad.

    Many interesting candidates have already put themselves forward for the job and each will be now assessed based on how well they fit with this long-term strategy. We must do all we can and take as much time as necessary to give ourselves the best chance of getting this right. We believe that this appointment could be the most important decision the club will make in the coming years.

    In addition, next Monday (14th May) will see major pitch renovations kick-off at The Northern Commercials Stadium. This is in conjunction with the redevelopment of our Woodhouse Grove training pitches, which is already well underway.

    I thought "lessons have been learnt". It sounds like it's just business as usual then.

    Get the feeling that when Greg gets back to good health(fingers crossed)
    He will be the next manager

    No because they want a head coach not a manager.

    I don't really have a problem with them having a philosophy and a plan in place for constant development and investing in youth. The problem is only one of them so far (Robinson) has looked half decent.

    I don't see this philosophy ever getting us promoted from League 1 unfortunately.

    So, with Greg Abbott out of action, and with no “Head Coach” in situ..Who’s left on the transfer committee?

    I totally agree with looking for a head coach instead of a manager as long as we look for an experienced Director of Football as well
