I agree totally Pooch. If we'd chosen Ritchie not Danny I wouldn't have minded ...... but I'm not sure we've got a viable upstairs where Danny could make a contribution, and I couldn't sack him on the legacy he was left.

My only quibble with Danny now is he seems to have become too conservative and thus too concerned with avoiding defeat.

For instance Rai Simons always looks keen to shoot so he should be getting onto the pitch if the team can't score .....

We've gone for experience and a man who cares about the club in Danny. I don't want to see him kicked in the teeth, but I'd try and keep hold of Ritchie with a three year contract. Could we maybe loan him for a season to manage Halifax or somebody? To run a club and learn on the ground ...... if you can loan players, he is still contracted as a player........

I'm just being stupid aren't I?

He could manage a non-league team say in the Northern Premier League and still work at the club as a coach.
