Happy with that, would be happier if an experienced manager was appointed mind.

Good appointment for the Academy but I suspect that Tommy's role may will be duelled and/or upgraded after Hurricane Landon's tidal wave has washed away the deadwood and those desperately clinging to the dugout.

Sacked by Spennymoor and South Shields I wouldn’t say an ideal replacement for Featherstone.

Agree Jamie…ok for a coaching role, but not in my opinion, managerial material.
Opinions may vary.

Agreed, I was thinking of Miller potentially replacing Dickman not Feathers. Perhaps an ex-Poolie is being lined up to replace Feathers in order that we have a Poolie partnership at the helm? I could envisage Sir Jeff suggesting something along those lines - although it's all pure speculation of course pending developments at Vic Ground Zero.

Exactly, and forget about Jeff Sterling being some sort of footballing expert or even expert in running Pools, he's got no more experience or expertise in those roles as most of us in here, he's a fan and pundits same as us.

That's as may be but seeing as LS has gone out of his way to contact Jeff Stelling for his advice and insight on Pools, he has already had more access to Landon's ear than us keyboard monkey hangers will ever have.

Now he's been appointed manager of Spennymoor Town (again) with Matty Dolan.

WTF?

No, he's a fan AND a pundit - we're just fans.To qualify as a pundit you need a large audience for your opinions. Shooting the breeze on here doesn't qualify :lol:

Great news for Tommy.

He must be loving life.
Spennymoor about 10 points behind play offs about a month ago.
Now clawed that back n could be a north east play off final.

Good luck to them.

Are we running a football club or a twilight home for former favourites, it’s becoming a feature.
