serves ya right for bending over without looking behind you.

Speaking of Alex Watson, in my 51 years of supporting United (and being for most of the time a regular at Plainmoor), he (Watson) was the slowest player ever, occasionally resembling a snail running through treacle.

Welcome Robbie. Took me totally by surprise............

Anyone know what Alex Watson is up to? His big brother being an England coach would bring the much vaunted 'contacts'...

Or Martin Rice?

Ah.

I like Robbie, but Not the appointment I was hoping for. Still, you get what you pay for, I suppose.

Flowers would be great appointment from a GK perspective for the development of Lavercombe and Speiss.

No, Flowers turned Kidderminster down in the end. Kiddie have now appointed former FGR and Leeds Utc Manager David Hockaday as their new head coach.

I think Flowers has taken over at Kidiminster unless he does a Cox!

As predicted by Southampton Gull, Kenny is leaving.

Tim Flowers as assistant/goalkeeping coach?

Not all managers need an assistant and after the last three we've had all you need is someone to coach and assist with the training. If Kevin has got someone he trusts and can talk football with them then he'll be ok.
The captain can then become a key person to confide in and when he's ready he can appoint the person he wants.

well if he was scouting for Southport he didn't do a very good job

Added in 2 hours 42 minutes 14 seconds:
I would not have an assistant manager at the moment ,I would have Ian Holloway as a consultant .

apparently, Aggy is no longer assistant manager at Southport, & no-one is listed in that position on the club website. The plot thickens......(Nothing to say, of course, that he doesn't still help them out from time to time , of course, in a scouting role )

Until we can afford a decent salary for an assistant I would guess we'll have to wait for the ideal appointment. I've heard Kenny is about to retire anyway so that might add a few quid to be able to tempt someone.
