where's the joy Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Short Term Deals The consistent lesson we have seen in the recent seasons is that short term imports play brilliantly until they make the move permanent and then never play as well again; witness Tomlin and Palmer. Hopefully the reverse will apply with our new manager who's form during his short term deal has been shockingly bad; and yet deep down we truly believe that now he is fully contracted he will transform our future fortunes. What's in a name Nige's appointment also bucks the trend that looked likely a short while ago. Namely as a variation on Tombola sélection systems we were starting to hire people on the basis that their names meant something around the club, (Arsenal Wenger being a high profile example elsewhere) and at BCFC Ashton 'shut the gate after you' might have been closely followed by Mark Robins How did Geoff Merrick earn the name 'Sir'? What names make you giggle or feel special about a local story? will we ever see the rise of Terry Totterdown, or Billy Bedminster Dicks and Johnsons had a meaning for a while!!
