Who's the Assistant Manager?

[ElstreeBlue]

Does anyone know who is the new Assistant Manager, or Assistant to the Manager, or Manager's Assistant (or whatever's the job title)?

Sorry if it's already been announced but I may have missed it.

We all know that Dave Webb was brought in personally by Tilly until the end of the season to replace Brush, and that a popular, more permanent choice was lined up to come in after the end of the season. Webby must have found Paul Brush a hard act to follow, but I think he did a fantastic job and justified the bold decision to make such a tough choice for the benefit of the team to appoint him after the fans were angry about his predecessor leaving.

So who's being brought in on a more permanent basis?

Also, do we know whether there is any news of Tilly signing the new contract that was being offered to him?

Looking forward to news of an announcement about this and other new signings with great anticipation.

Steve Tilson is Assistant to Ron Martin isn't he??

I presume you are joking about Webby doing a fantastic job? The odd phone call from his mansion to Tilly is all he did! Summed up this joke of a football club. Shocking decision to get rid of Brushy. So he may have been a 'yes' man but he was a bloody good one at that. Uncle Ron getting rid of the decent staff at this club one by one.

We'll be lucky if we have a manager to need assisting.

Me thinks EB is being ever so slightly sarcastic

Footballing decision yes, but if we are heavily in debt then we need to get staff off the payroll. Although, we haven't had a massive clear out for this reason more just the fact players are out of contract and don't want to play in League 2.

But in theory, Ron should be chopping dead wood. Only the team and Tilly will ever know the true value of Paul Brush.

Colin West has left Hartlepool. Perhaps he fancies giving the South another go? Or maybe not....

I've heard this as well ! But I think you call it clutching at straws

Steve Tilson is very patient if you ask me. Paul Brush his assistant and mate gets the push and he is left with a youth team to play with. Accepts it all with not a murmur. i know he is quiet and laid back but this is ridiculous!

More chance of Fred West turning up at the Hall. I know Colin's brother John West and he's said it's a load of codswallop.

NO, PLEASE NO.
Billy Jennings has already been caught lying at the Q and A Bull session. Backing up the King of Bull.Basically saying that Lee Barnard was going to down tools if he didn't get his move. Lee has since come out and vehemently denied this. I believe Lee Barnard. One of the only players this season that always gave 100%.

Is our leader a Man of Straw ?

The Wickerman indeed.:)
Remember what happened at the end of the film though.

No I wasn't thinking in terms of a pagan effigy for human sacrifice !

(Mind you, the way some people on here fawn over his every word and action ....)

Man of Straw has two meanings:

1. a person of little substance

2. a person used as a cover for some dubious plan or enterprise; front man

So we get rid of our top scorer on the grounds of his sexuality. That is clearly a breach of his human rights and I now suspect we will face yet another court appearnace on teh grounds of constructive dismissal. The whole sorry saga gets worse and worse.
