A Terrier's Tale.....

The jungle-drums have been beating loudly on a couple of fronts. The main consensus of opinion about Stans departure seems to be that maybe he was wanting to wind down / scrap the Academy. Now I know from reading STs biography that he is no fan of Academies, thinks they are a drain on resources. If this is the source of the disagreement (sounds likely to me) then DH would have had to get rid. I am proud of our Academy, Gerry Murphy is doing a fine job, and it would be an outrage if it was to be finished.

The other matter in hand is of course Stan and Ronnies replacements. Interesting developments indicate that David Unsworth has expressed an interest. That would be a big gamble, ok I admit he has to start somewhere, and it is my understanding he taken coaching badges. It would still be a gamble though regardless, and I see this scenario as unlikely.

Other rumours insist that an as-yet un-named manager currently inn gainful employment has made a direct approach to Dean Hoyle. A chancer, or sparkling enterprise - you decide! A few names bandied about, Mark Robins (Rotherham), Jim Gannon (Stockport) Nigel Adkins (Scunthorpe). The whispers about A Boothroyd have quietened down since Tuesday.
