Much as it hurts to say Martini, even though I couldn't stomach his attitude he didn't do a bad job on the playing side in reality.
How enjoyable it was to see Neil Baker and Jon Underwood on worldwide TV last week. Those guys earned and were well worth the publicity they were getting. Those same guys that led Gees to the pinacle of the club's achievements. It gave me a sense of pride just as it did at the time.
This is what the Winchester City DoF said on their Forum on Saturday:
"I'm really proud that the Manager we appointed and the squad we have assembled are showing their true value to the Club. We have a low/mid table budget and beyond any doubt we are punching above our weight."
Yes that same Manager (Craig Davis), the Manager that the then Godalming Town Chairman misguidedly denied the Committee the chance of appointing. A Manager, who I can assure you had set his heart on coming to Godalming Town and leading them back up the table to where they belonged.
What followed in the years after that I'd rather not comment on.
I had an interesting conversation last week with another football person who knew that I have enjoyed football for virtually all my life and part of their conversation said:
"The Gees don’t appear to be getting any better if you look on the results and the table. And the communication to its followers is non-existent!! The Manager may well be-building with a young squad, but if that’s the case he should communicate that weekly so that the fans can see the long term vision and stick with the club. But from an outsider looking in it just appears that the club is going backwards into obscurity." (Intermediate and Guildford & Woking alliance)!
Sad to say that is the appearance that is being given out, not only to Gees followers but outsiders as well. I reckon they hit the nail right on the head.
When did we last get any information out of the club. We get an occasional snippet which I am grateful for from TG and onefinfarncombe and that's yer lot; but absolutely nothing comes from officialdom. Surely that's not the way.
We don't even get atombowl on any more. Has he given up? And not a word from the manager since August.
Edit: Come back Cranewife we're missing you.
