The future is not orange......

Ah, but Leicester didn't send Huth out on loan to one of their rivals.

That's because Huth hasn't give them any reason to.

Barrettsigned a one year extension and worall has not yet signed

1)Not likely to be of any use on the pitch
2)Would be(and has been) very badly missed when not on the pitch.

You know no more of what Huth has or hasn't done than I know about what Bolger may or may not have done.

Good managers manage and get the best out of their better players not send them elsewhere.

You don't know why Bolger is at Bury. You have though, assumed it must be the fault of PB.

Still people see only what they want to see. Sir Alex Fergie shipped Jaap Stam and then even Roy Keane out of Old Trafford faster than a one-legged man in an ***-kicking contest after falling out. Happens at every club, every season. If you back the manager, you accept a man taking charge of the group and taking no ****. If you don't, you see a man who can't get the best out of his players.

And most of the players here have improved under PB. Leonard being a casing point of that, and also Payne as well to that point. So he cant be that bad for getting the best out of their better players ! I also find it ironic that people are now saying that Bolger was one of the better players, considering the amount of comments about him being a waste of money and liability since his arrival. Things get changed and twisted by some so that they can continue to bemoan the manager we have. I get that people may dislike Brown, but I dont get the continued negativity when our position under Brown has seen constant improvement year on year on terms of end of season finishes.

.... or is a manager who is quietly and efficiently going about his work rather than looking to promote himself at any opportunity.

True.
But what on earth is wrong with promoting yourself?
Promotion is what we are all after ...maybe in different guises.
I have no problem with our manager having a high profile - and it will only secure greater opportunities if he manages a successful team.

You have assumed what I am assuming.

I don't know whose fault it is but I know the problem has not been solved but moved on, to the possible detriment of the club. (Although having seen the penalty he conceded Saturday .......)

Put me down for a Jewson dozen of those please.

Leicester have been successful for a number of reasons, but mostly because they play no nonsense football, work hard, defend in numbers, pressurize the opposition on the ball and break quickly, which is a perfect foil against showboating sides who try to pass the ball into the net and defend like they would rather be somewhere else.

Most of the above applies to a PB side, when it's on top of it's game.

We are a good side when we do the above and some of our performances this season have been excellent. It's not much that needs tweaking. Just a settled system and keeping the intensity up in all games and not just some of them.

That's all Leicester have done.

Well we don't break quickly. We're ponderous, as will be any side with Will Atkinson in midfield.

The likes of Bentley, Leonard and Prosser were already on an upwards trajectory. I called Leonard and Prosser's breakthrough season before PB even became manager.

Has Hurst improved? Has White improved? Has Coker improved? Has Timlin improved? Has Barnett improved? Did Pigott improve? Has Weston improved? Has Mooney improved? Surely Will Atkinson can only have gone sideways or backwards?

How is it punching to attract a manager who was on the downward slope. He was out of work for 2 years applying for every job going and we were the only club who gave him a chance. Hardly punching! There are so many managers out of work at the moment, I remember reading somewhere that some pretty experienced managers have applied for the Chelmsford job. If Brown was to go and the job was vacant we would have a lot of applicants.

Yeah he had something to prove and at the time we were not punching above our weight getting him. His stock has certainly risen since then though, he would have been Bolton's first choice if not for the compo. We would probably have a lot of out of work managers apply for the job if it were available, but I can't think of any realistic ones I'd want over Brown. Chelmsford had a lot of interest of high standard non league managers, a couple of ex league managers and even an ex premier league manager which was all over the local press. I'm allowed to say the ex prem manager now as he's been ruled out, it was Chris Hutchings. It does prove that managers on a downward spiral struggle for a break, Hutchings can't even get a conference south gig!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Is Tilly in the running for the Chelmsford job??

 

[Ricky Otto]

Nope don't even think he applied. If the investment doesn't come through I think Maher will get it as the two other targets won't drop down a division if they don't have a decent budget.

 

[C V Shrimper]

If Maher gets the job, does that mean goodbye to us? Or will he carry on doing both jobs alongside each other?

I'm pretty sure after the consultation period that the deal with Jade Global will go through, there doesn't appear to be a downside to it. So the likelihood is Kev won't get it. If he did, he'd carry on at Southend, I don't think either job pays enough to be full time. I'm pretty sure Kev will remain as a coach at Chelmsford, he is very well thought of there and I think it suits him too.

So many questions YB...where to start...ok here goes No, Stayed static, Not much opportunity, Initially yes to impress, dull spell and then yes again - contract renewal time, No , No, No and, a veritable workhorse, does a lot of grafting / not a showman.

Pretty much no to all of those
