Justin Edinburgh

Good luck to Justin Edinburgh who has led his Newport County team into the conference play-offs.

Must be in with a shout as a potential future blues boss I would have thought.

Only if he's good enough.

That reply surely deserves a sarcastic response for stating the obvious! But I'll just say that having an ex-player as manager adds a little extra interest to the situation. He remains on my "list of candidates" for the position of manager.

If Newport go up I doubt he'd see us as a step up. Havent they got some lottery winning multi-millionaire owner? They'll probably be one of the stronger sides in L2 next year if they get there..

That's true, won £45 million on the lottery, so another club coming up that has a fair bit of backing.

I think Justin Edinburgh has already demonstrated he is a great manager, and I am amazed that Ron Martin was apparently unaware of that.

Justin Edinburgh is an intersting one. Don't doubt he derserves a stint managing in a side in the FL but he probably wouldn't entertain Ron if he is serious at wanting to succeed. In our circumstances in what blights us it'll be tough for him to succeed here and if and when goes pear shaped his career would be at risk. In a way like Tilson possibly regretted not moving when he could only to be sucked in and weighed down with the negatives which has cost him.

"Edinburgh also owns two Toni & Guy hair salons with his business partner, Jim Shaw"

Surely, indeed, Ron would be aware of this man's management credentials !

I don't think that there are many employed Managers out there who would see us as a 'step up' whilst we are in our current state of limbo.

Good luck to my mate's brother Lee Minshull who is playing for Newport County. Another Wembley appearance for him! Well done Justin.
