Disagree slightly with Burnham. I've seen Bodin work hard, I've seen him track back to be fair but what I haven't seen is tangible productivity. Neither have Crewe before us nor Northampton after (although he rarely got on the field of play. Reason?). IMO his addition would be a complete disaster. L...

Completely agree with Andy's sentiment. I do not want to come across as if, I'm insulting Thea Bristow's generosity, or integrity, however, I'm not going to insult the intelligence of Thea Bristow either. This suggestion that Thea, was some how this simple old lady that whilst chair of TUFC, did no...

Not that most of you particularly care for my opinion but the situation regarding Thea was one of the reasons for my 'defection'. She pumped in a fortune and built an entire stand, all because she cared and wanted the best for the club. She knew absolutely nothing about running a football club and e...

Billy Bodin?

Hi, Mansfield Town fan here Paul Cox will win you games simple as that, he'll turn you into a well oiled machine that are extremely organised and difficult to play against, you wont get any thashings, he will get players putting their bodies on the line, he starts off slow but the 2nd half of the s...

So pleased to hear that the situation down there is looking a lot more rosy. Best of luck for the next critical few months and of course for next season and remember, If you can come out the other side of this in one piece then that surely makes you all stronger and united. Torquay United. Best wish...

A good point RG. The truth is none of know what the financial arrangement with KT is. One of the best ways to ensure he worked on our longer term interests would be one where he is paid a portion of his fee now and the remainder in 12 months on the proviso that we still have a viable club ready to ...

Amended post. Thea is an amazingly generous woman and should ignore people's poison.

I'm hoping that CH grasps the nettle. What's the point in wanting to be proved right? I couldn't care less either way for me personally but for many of you good guys out there it would mean something to shout about and that can only be a good thing for you.

Okay, Andy - let's forget Hasselbaink. I had forgotten he had managed a Belgian club before coming to Burton and as you rightly say, Burton were on the up when he was appointed. But I think you've made my case for me ! I overlooked Paul Buckle (how could I ever forget Mr. Buckle ???). He was a rook...

He did pretty well for Bournemouth when they had the points deduction for administration. Agreed, he has had money since, but as a comparison with budgets of others within the League his Club has been playing in, he has overachieved. I suspect Hargreaves hasn't. Spot on Rjc70. A point I was trying ...

There's a lot of 'meat' in Andy's posting and Nickbrod's two-liner is spot on. New owners might well come in and decide changes of management are needed but we have to get it right off the pitch first. As on old git, I don't like change. We seem to be on a roller coaster of a manager-a-season who h...

Sorry to kill your negativity Andy, but it has been said on another forum that things are going very well, and that the deal could be wrapped up in the next fortnight. Brooker, that is excellent news. See it as negativity if you like but I see it as vital to the progression of TUFC. A TUFC with any...

Where ARE these new owners anyway? Ooops sorry, meant to say where are these 'new' existing board members anyway? :Oops:

CH has achieved a league position that would have been reasonably acceptable to any sensible fan at the start of the season, especially given the turmoil of the relegation season. This could be up for debate however given that half the league consisted of some very very poor teams. I don't know whet...
