Re: forest green

I went to her 1st game tonight, I know a few of the FGR coaching setup and a few Melksham Players

Loads of press to cover it, even beIN ( from France ) saw some guy called Moose ( from talksport by all accounts )

decent game, ended 1 - 1 ( howler from the FGR Keeper and then a cracking freekick from FGR to equalise )

Re: forest green

I guess he agreed to a trial period on a salary of x and then wanted significantly more for it to become permanent?

You guess wrong. He was 6 months into a 5 year deal. After his shambolic record I don’t think Ferguson was in any position to demand more money.

Playing budget said to have been slashed and they’ve agreed to part ways. Vince is a savvy guy I can’t imagine he would be lumbered with having to pay up 4.5 years wages. A deal must have been struck that suited all concerned because Vince says they part as friends.

I still wouldn’t have fancied telling Big Dunc he was no longer required. Would have to have been a phone call rather than a face to face. :hehe:

A total shithouse move.
Hard to look at it as anything but a cheap publicity stunt.

That's Dale Vince for you. Actually embarrassing in this case and it feels like a mockery was made of it all

Re: forest green

To be fair, she was only ever named as a caretaker boss and, as such, it was always likely she wouldn’t be doing the job for long - it sounds like she’ll be staying at the club, which quite often isn’t the case with caretaker bosses.

I think a lot of the good will he’s gained over his Green policies and FGR, he’s losing fast with his sponsorship of Just Stop Oil. I understand that it fits with his principles but it’s the wrong type of publicity for his business.

Hannah didn't need to be in the role for the time period where she was manager. Totally unfair for her to be made an unwittingly a PR stunt.

Hopefully FGR end up back in non league where they belong

After watching them last season I wouldn't be surprised if they went down again. They were really poor.

Why unwittingly? It was made very clear at the time that it was a caretaker role whilst they were recruiting, there was no suggestion from FGR that it was a permanent role.

TBF im sure they could have hung on for 12 days.

Re: forest green

She was only named as caretaker during pre season. I'm not sure why it got quite so much attention. Some articles seemed to think she was permanent but that wasn't what FGR put out.

Publicity stunt it may have been, she would have though known she was unlikely to be offered it beyond that.
