Enfield Town v Folkestone Invicta

[Wildlife rescue]

Can you imagen what Brad would have done with this talented squad.

Sadly time and time again this and last season Andy has proven to be technically inept.

Seems like the Enfield folk are finally realising this and staying away.

I really look forward to my Sat afternoon Towner fix but sadly not any more.

Still love the way our club is being run behind the scenes but the Manager is just not doing it for me.

where is Brad now ?  and Borg ? I think they BOTH could run this team and the results would be great

Bring back Steve Newing!

On a serious note - sacking AL would unfortunately mean starting from scratch again.

Several players would no doubt remain loyal to AL and probably leave with him (notaby Sam Youngs who came from Chesham and perhaps Joe Wright).

In fact, the only player I would fairly confident of keeping would be Micky Parcell.

I understand your concern CC that some may go, but where would they go as I don't think AL is very high on any ones list. To the best of my knowledge he was coaching under 18s before he got this job. A new younger manager with fresh ideas may also appeal to the younger members of the squad who have ambition to get on. It may be blasphemy in the ears of some but Youngs etc can be replaced by a different type of player who could bring a new dynamic to the team. 

As for BB I understood he was on a two year contract, or was that just a rumour. Even if this is so he may approach by another club, better placed financially, and prefer their style of play to ours. We may have more income but do you trust AL to spend it wisely? 

For those who would prefer no change I respect their view. But remember changes of management in the past have not always set us back otherwise we would be still in the Essex Senior league, or less, instead of rising to the Bostik Premier with a superb ground.  

As I said before revenue, and the how much support we get to sustain it, will dictate the outcome.

If any of the players stayed loyal to AL if he were to leave, then you would have to question their sanity. I'm convinced that Sam Youngs would stay here, he knows that he is highly regarded amongst the fans and as far as I know, he does not want to go Pro.

I saw some very frustrated Senior players Sat even after our win generally bemoaning the style of play so on that basis if Andy left I think it could be a breath of fresh air for some players.

We had a chance this season to promote the club on the pitch... excite new fans and bring in extra revenue with increased crowds.... the opposite has happened... supporters like myself just turn up because that is what we do.... I just hope the clubs loyalty doesn’t harm the club too much....

Even clubs in the Premiership off load managers even if they have been successful!
