Frost and Mahoney kept everything in house and club business was communicated only on official channels, that's the way to do it. We have a long history of club officials and the internet and it's often not very pretty. I certainly dont always agree with Neils views but 100% respect his knowledge and the fact he is prepared to explain many situations on the forum. I think he does very well to remain civil in the face of what can be a barrage of negativity. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Max 216 Posted December 16, 2017 4 hours ago, Crump99 said: The shocking news would have been if Panthers were not running. If you read what he's been brought in for then it makes perfect sense tbh. Rathbone still calls the shots and I'm sure that Neil will do a good job away from Supremo Horton. Given that Rathbone will be treading on eggshells with our lords and masters during 2018 I'd say that bringing in someone who seems to understand the rules and other issues as much as Neil is a smart move? Rathbone will no doubt listen to Neil and take his advice on board. I don't get the impression that that was one of Horton's strengths. Apologies for a positive post, I'll go and lie down for a bit! I love an optimist!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can quote the rules, but we can all do that if we could be bothered to look them up. Be a lot happier to have a co promoter who was putting some money into the club, but then again, Swales never did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 262 Posted December 16, 2017 Would Scott Nicholls and Tom Bacon fit? As I’m sure the BSPA will relent on the ridiculous rule that’s preventing Scott at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 262 Posted December 16, 2017 Well I think Tom Bacon will be looking for a new Championship team, very sad having had such a good first season, at least he will remain a Peterborough asset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
