might end up a situation where the club outgrows DC but even then he will not be short of offers from smaller clubs in an area he will not have miles to travel everyday.

Thank god he wasn’t an airline pilot. He’d be flying from Manchester no further north than Carnforth International, no further east than the Pennines, no further south than Crewe Intercontinental and flying west ain’t gonna happen into the Irish Sea. :laugh:

Yeah if the Ipswich town job pops up or a club like that I'm sure he will turn it down, because of the travelling, yeah cause he will. Hiding behind this travelling lark when everyone knows it's the money.

well its the money why we all change jobs from time to time. know everyone is different but even a 40 mile round trip to commute got me down after 6 months and i was only in my early 39,s at the time. if your partner will not move then the only choices are to leave em or move closer to where they want to live if you want some sort of family life anyway.

Im sure the wages some managers get now they will soon get over the fact they have to move, if you get into football you know for a fact your very unlikely to ever be able to live in your home area. Challinor will be hoping he gets Stockport promoted and then no doubt will bin them off for a much bigger club.

Footballers and managers have to accept moving as part of the job. Anyone in the business and their families must be well aware of this and if your priorities are decided by your postcode your future in the game will a bit parochial and limited.

a lot depends though where you live. bit different for pools, carlise and torquay players than ones who can play a long career at different clubs if they live in the london, west midlands or north west when house moves are for their sake and not because of club moves.

I know what happened to DC, he was offered more money aroun saves him the task of continuously fighting traffic on the journey over the Pennines.
DC has gone, Raj has put his faith in another rookie. The formula worked with DC, time will tell if Raj has got it right again.
I suggest we leave it at that and move on, at least until the picture is clearer at the end of January.

the first point is the reason i do not go to all the games and not the money. its hard to believe how anyone could actually do it day in day out. secondly DC was hardly a rookie at being a manager. promotions with his two clubs prior to his one with us must have made him hot property in the national league as well as div.2 at least. we were lucky to get him for the time we had. if it had not been stockport it could have been someone else shortly after he did. pools are only a stepping ground for a good manager or a rest home for as long as they can for the bad.

He is just as much a rookie in the football league as anybody else who only has limited experience and his only success as far as promotion to the football league was with us and that chance was given to him by Raj, which is the point I was making.
If he gets Stockport promoted, which isn't a given, there is absolutely no doubt he'll be expected to do it again next season and then we'll see how good he is in the EFL. You also have to take into account that Fylde have a bit of cash and Stockport appear to have a lot of it. I would expect the Stockport hierarchy to have aspirations of at least league one or even championship football and probably have the financial clout to achieve it. Time will tell if DC is up to it and time will tell if GL is up to his task.

DC was no rookie when Pools took him on. All credit to Raj Singh for going out and getting him because he was an established and respected National League manager. A rookie would be someone who is not an established and respected manager at that particular level, such as those we just appointed. I really want our management team to thrive but its just not looking good.

Read it again, I referred to the football league where he has only a handful of games.
