brady bunch Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Well why not, cannot see Tony making some of the sub changes we have seen this yearI am sure there is a reason for him not being involved, but why look outside the club for an experianced coach/manager, when we have the prefect person in Tony Fawthrop, his brief spell in change (only lost it for a non footballing reason) was pretty good and we played with shape and style. I am a Tinman supporter but was a bit surprised he did not go for someone like Tony as assisant from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solo1bc Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Would be cheaper than Turniphead as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's stumbled into a position way above where he should be and that is the reason for him not being more involved.He was never "in charge" of the team, he was part of a triumvirate that also included Leroy Rosenior, who has proven himself to be a good coach and manager, and Dave Burnside, who is a highly respected coach. I suspect, therefore, that those two were the driving force during that period.Fawthrop is a nice bloke and a decent scout. I am highly dubious of his coaching ability though and I certainly don't think he could do much to help Tinnion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openEnd Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 He was in charge (very briefly), and resigned. He lasted a few weeks. I can't remember why?http://www.citystats.org.uk/manager.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted March 21, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Financial issues. I believe someone on the forum knew this and about a week before he went had already suggested that he would have to resign.Can't remember who it was though←I believe it was Phatwill.

England Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Perhaps he is being groomed to take over from Buster - running around with a bucket and sponge would be about right for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
