Did it hinge on who had the biggest trousers?

The former Championship manager was, I think, Lee Clark? Apparently there was a big clash of personality between 46-year-old Peter Beadle and one of our directors. That's the trouble with the modern day workplace - not allowed to use your brain or express any difference of opinion on the way forward. Passion? Certainly not. Automatons. That's what those in charge want.

I wish him the best of luck, but I won't be seen at ES until he proves that he can turn things around. As others have said, 2 out, 4 in, and the board was refusing to give PB a few quid extra for the playing budget. I wonder if Peter smelt a rat back then, because the smell at the moment is overpowering. Jobs for the boys?? Looks like it, and the consequences if it doesn't work...….? It has been abundantly clear to me since the announcement of his dimissal - after eight matches - that he saw it coming. He won't be too distressed by the situation. Will re-surface in your neck of the woods quite soon.

So has Symo, the only decent talent there currently are foreign lads that we wouldn’t be allowed to field, no offence, but the Hartpury option hasn’t been used for a while, and that’s the reason. Not sure how you work that out. Hartpury has its fair share of lads from overseas, but also a very substantial number of players from the U.K. Other than Loughborough it's arguably the best sports based University in the country. The point is that Richards has a role there, so has access to the most modern facilities, contacts with some very good young players and lives and breathes coaching. Haven't seen anything to suggest his role at HFC will be full time (doesn't need to be tbh). If Harris is doing the more "paperwork" based stuff, then having someone in situ at the training ground seems to make some degree of sense. This job was never going to go to an experienced "manager" type. Nor should it. It's a challenge and to write Richards off before he's through the door is ridiculous. [autocolebridgewarning] the set up is very similar to that at Gloucester Rugby where Humphries does the recruitment, contracts, management stuff and Ackermann does the coaching. Works very well [/autocolebridgewarning] How many of these wonder kids did he snap up for high flying Gloucester City?

Whilst I've defended the board's decision making in the past this is a shockingly poor appointment given some of the other names mentioned. It reeks of "jobs for the boys" and suggests that the board really do know NOTHING about football.
I was expecting at the very least someone with Conference National experience, not somwone who happens to be an old mate of Tim Harris.

He's bald, then?? That will have clinched his fashionability.

Not sure what point you're making here (neither do I know the answer, nor can I be fussed to research it)
There are a lot of decent young British footballers at Hartpury. As there are at Academies round the country. Jimmy Oates was there of course as well as Kidderminster's current top scorer. (Ed Williams)
Are you suggesting that his role at Hartpury is in some way detrimental? If it assists, my earlier post was related to his role there and the facilities.
(Addressed to (not the real) Up the Bulls)

I think it purtains to the work permit situation regarding Bundu Oates is Australian. Not sure how he got one either. edit..think one of his parents are British??

Think that's right. There's a Ghanaian lad who's doing rather well too.
The University side would make the most avid Brexiteer salivate...

Didn't someone say that a Championship manager was one of the applicants? Someone who's played Championship Manager on his PC more like.

At least having the management teams and players based in Gloucestershire will be handy for when we're back in the Southern Premier next season.

I don't know much about them.

To an outsider the appointment does look like it was something of a fait accompli once Harris became Director of Football. It's another indication perhaps that the modus operandi is moving somewhat further away from the entertainment business and more into manufacturing. That is, the emphasis will be on nurturing our own talent from raw materials and selling on the near finished article. That does look like the long-term plan, and initially anyway we should probably expect the brakes to be firmly applied to our charge up through the Leagues and I would expect attendances to fall sharply as a result. Whether that strategy works or not remains to be seen of course, but developing and selling on hungry young players such as Parry, McIndoe, Mahon, Gavin and Andy Williams etc worked well for GT and was a major contribution to our sustainability in some of those difficult wilderness years in the Conference.
