I was specifically referring to the team manager application process which in my opinion was too convoluted, drawn out and bureaucratic. As a result we failed to make the right appointment. We had an opportunity to appoint a proven experienced respected manager who would have comfortably kept us in the NPL with his knowledge and manager/player contacts at NPL level and above. We no doubt would have treated any new players and associates of the club with respect as we always do, the difference being that the standard would have been higher. I have no issues with the principles of 74 however for me the priority at the time was securing our NPL status and not taking a massive risk in appointing someone unproven with little experience. I respect all views but the most important thing for me is that our club grows in every way. Sadly I can only see our club shrinking right now and the midland league will only shrink us further I feel. I hope I am wrong and we can bounce back… time will tell. Up the 74“Bureaucratic Nonsense”?
So tell me exactly how maintaining the ethos of our club has so far limited our management teams from using their contacts to sign players?
What I think you fail to understand is that we’ve been able to attract players to 74 who have been offered more £ by other clubs Because of how we treat players and people in general.
And if you forget, 74 was set up in response to decades of mismanagement of the club we all previously supported.
If we give up these principles then frankly we may as well pack up and rejoin Winsford Victoria.
Some things are more important than transient form on the pitch.
