Be no humble pie, I would welcome any changes back so long it doesn’t mean that Daws and Turnbull stays, but still not fussed if Hilton carries on as per interview either whatever HE thinks He can afford.

Apart from that one statement – which he may have very well been forced to deliver, Turny has done nowt wrong!
He’s done well at the Trust and an excellent HoR for the club.
His hands have been tied in his role as COO.
Daws is Mr Academy. Without him, it would have sunk without a trace many, many years ago.
Not even a float to purchase tea, coffee and milk with which to make visitors, guests and players & parents a drink… let alone offer them a biscuit!
Man City will buy parents a nice new house to relocate to in Manchester – and provide mum & dad with jobs.
At Scunny, we struggle to offer them a brew and a two fingered Kit Kat!

Rob Watson has worked with Daws for many years, is trusted, valued and highly rated. He works his socks off and is intelligent and inventive.

Smith & Butler are pretty new, one has loads of playing experience and a well respected coach. The other is another super Scunny player with loads of experience to draw upon.

Phil is Phil. A long serving unbelievably knowledgeable physio who has some great stories and is great for morale.

Ian, so much more than an administrator and HoE. He’s been in football his entire life, an ex teacher with tons of experience to draw upon. Top bloke.

If these guys were only in it for the money – the Academy would have died years ago!
