I wasn't a great admirer at the outset but I've warmed to Bettie over the months; like any manager at the Mighty Stanley they come, most do good things and then they go. I am sorry it didn't work out for James and I hope whatever he does it brings him good things. This is the guy that put his hand in his own pocket to bail the club out and I hope he got his money back before whatever it is happened.

For the future I just hope whoever does come in can hack it in a world where the money doesn't pour from golden goblets.

If JC came back I wouldn't be displeased; but at the same time going back seldom works out for the best, but let's honour those that have got us where we are instead of digging up the normal crock of ****e.

Names and wish list get bounded about but any one serious about coming to manage Stanley is surely running against the wind. Let's just hope theirs a bloke out there that can take us forward and keep moving us forward.
