Salford City vs Southend United www.salfordcityfc.co.uk 6 7 Frankly Speaking...

So much for forward planning! Sunday evening of last week I was quite pleased with myself. 10 days to go before tonight’s fixture against Southend and I already had the subject matter for this programme article – or at least I thought I had.

The EFL had just released its statement regarding is still in the pipeline. It should also go on record ‘Project Big Picture’ and thoughts surrounding it that Graham and Chris were decent people, always were beginning to form in my head. Early Monday approachable with a friendly word and who were morning reactions from other bodies were being willing to spend time after matches with supporters made public and I started to think I’m going to run having a drink and conversation about the game out of space to get all of it into 600 words. in the bar.

This time club committee I was privy to a lot of appointments unconnected and emanating from Salford City. In a and dismissals of team managers. And, believe brief communiqué the club announced it had parted you me, it isn’t always an easy or straight forward ways with manager and his decision. On one occasion I sat in on a selection assistant Chris Lucketti. Paul Scholes was to fulfil committee for a new manager and I was convinced the manager’s position on a temporary basis to be that the successful candidate whose interview (and assisted as soon as possible by Warren Joyce. playing credentials) had been outstanding was the person to take the club to new heights never before So, the ‘Project Big Picture’ article – seemingly reached by the Ammies.

His wife came Nowadays if seems if you feel strongly enough into the room and asked what he was doing. He you can get your opinion published on some social informed her of the obvious, he was getting ready media platform or other. In fact, it seems you don’t to head off to the ground. She asked him why and, We’ve been voted ‘Uswitch even have to be a supporter of the Ammies and can getting a bit irritated he replied he was the team Most Popular Broadband live in any location north, south, east or west of the manager and he had to be there. “No, you’re not,” Provider of the Year’ for Peninsula Stadium to offer up your penny’s worth! she answered, “you’ve been sacked. I’ve just heard the second year running. But, as supporters of the club we have to move it announced on the radio!” on and whether happy or not give our support to whoever next takes up the ‘hot seat’. So, we hope we carry on making progress.

But we don’t forget and I think it only right to Saturday’s result at Port Vale wasn’t what we acknowledge Graham and Chris’ contribution to wanted but there’s always tonight! our ongoing success. As a club, with them, we were able to experience a fantastic trip to Wembley which ended in promotion to the Football League and, of course, they guided us to another Wembley Final in the Leasing.com Trophy which, hopefully,
