The Hotel is brilliant. It must be up with the best golf resorts in England. It's superb isn't it? I really enjoy playing Rockliffe. It's going to be even better when it grows out a bit over the next decade. What handicap do you play off as a matter of interest? Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I feel there needs to be a reset. I have worked in companies when a senior manager is known to be leaving and witnessed staff drop the ball and start making alliances with potential successes. Loosing a leader results with the objectives being under valued and instigates power grabbing. This was a fundamental objection I had with NW continuing his role at the club. There is little incentive for staff to achieve there objectives or want for a better word KPI. Let’s face it more energy is spent on distancing yourself from the departing manager and more spent impressing your next leader and improving your position, but there lies another issue in that many don’t see there future with the club as long term.

Does this mean we might get to see some decent passing from Siliki?😉 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogInSheff 66 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The Gazette putting out a lot of negative stories at the minute, usually that means the manager is on his last legs. Gibbo probably given them the nod. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the exact same, they are publishing questioning and concern raising articles which is understandable normally except with the Gazette we know they dare not break from the party line. When they do it's usually because they have been cleared 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I feel it’s more about enjoying the day out and appreciating the time spent staring into lakes and hacking through long grass and woodland looking for numerous balls I manage divert from landing on flat short grass they call fairways.

Bosco's Tuft 941 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If Warnock goes we probably need a short-term appointment until the long term manager is in. That used to be Harold Shepherdson's job, who would do it now? Terry Venables? Link to post Share on other sites

Rat catcher 293 Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 The ideal situation would be to keep NW until January. That would give us chance to find a suitable replacement and get the new man bedded in, the problem is if we wait that long we could be in a relegation fight if thigs do not improve significantly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If he was available then he should already be here. Or maybe we have no idea who the next manager is yet. Link to post Share on other sites
