Thanks for the report, Dancing. Like you, I haven`t been along to the Proact for a few months now; partly because of dismay at the performances and partly due to other things going on in my life which, although nowhere near as traumatic as with Dev, have been something of a distraction. That`s probably going to be the case for the rest of the season but there`s a good chance at the moment that the missus and I may be moving back to Derbyshire in a few months` time, so maybe next season.......
From what you say, it does sound like a promising start for Pembers but to be fair we`ve been here before,haven`t we. JS made a promising start, as did MA before him. It could be the traditional ‘new manager bounce` that will peter out in a few weeks or it really could be a sign of better things to come; right now, I`d rather reserve judgement and see what happens.
The big problem for me in sacking JS and his crew is that it means even more ex-management and staff whose contracts are having to be paid off – we`re still paying MA and his back-up staff as well until the end of the season, I presume – which will make our financial position even worse than it is already. This is only a gut-feeling and is based on no personal knowledge whatsoever, but I suspect that the club`s problems are more endemic and `cultural` (whatever that means) and that things won`t fundamentally change until the change of ownership goes through.
That being the case I really don`t know the answer to your question, Matt, but I`d be interested to know what you think, Dancing.
