Evatt was being touted by his agent most of the season he got us promoted. Apparently agreed terms with Fylde halfway through the season, but decided to stay with us. Possibly our board offered more to keep him. Bloody pariah agents. Wasn’t that quigley? He was linked with them in the December and ...

Once spoke to someone who recruited for VSEL (as it was then) and he said it was difficult getting quality staff to come here because of the perceived 'Mike Harding' view, but he said that once they were here they settled here for life!

How many 'welcome' messages have you put on now?

WUM!

Or Derek Adam’s would leave a newly promoted Morecambe to drop back down a league! To be fair Evatt went to a "Premiership" club (in their imaginations) and Adams went to Bradford (they of the 15,000 home crowds). Managers are rarely emotionally invested in clubs. They go where there is t...

That's exactly what he does wherever he applies for a job. Once in post he goes on to demand more and more money for crap players. No doubt a...

Was thinking the same myself, but money talks. It would also be good to have another Gateshead based manager as we know what the last one did!

The absolutely delusional comments about Sam Hird being a good manager are frankly worrying. Yes, he knows the club, but just because he has been close to Evatt and Kelly doesn’t mean he has gleaned some of their quality by osmosis or whatever other wonderful means may be possible. I’m sorry but on...

So the one coming up on the rails seems to be Mike Williamson.

So how does the role of Chief Executive fit into all this?

Ban acronyms!

I cannot believe after the last 4 managers the board would risk someone with absolutely no direct managerial experience. Would they? Why not? What good have the last four been? Good at extracting severance payments from a board with no real football experience, and that's about it. We need some fre...
