BBC Sport gossip saying Port Vale want to re-appoint him as Director of Football
Which, by the way, is saying something because we signed them all as a fourth tier club. Plus adding in Michel Kuipers who was Championship class all day long, once he'd emerged.
Except Carpenter who joined the team for Division 2 winning season in 01/02. What a team he put together. All Peter Taylor had to do was add Junior Lewis and we were away!
.
I'm sure we had Carpenter in Division 3. We added very few players to the starting 11 for the next season- it was only really Simon Morgan and the aforementioned Lewis (Steve Melton also went from being a squad player to having a tad more prominence under Taylor)
I think you're missing a season. David Cameron was here for the first season at Withdean in 1999 when we were mid-table. Carpenter signed in 2000 for the season we won the league.
Yep, you're absolutely right, apologies to [MENTION=1349]turienzo's lovechild[/MENTION].
Matt Wicks was magnificent on Football Manager, but so slow and ponderous in reality. A really, really poor man's version of Matt Upson!
Geoff Pitcher was a massive disappointment the following season, he'd been so good in the Conference the season before and signing him was a real coup.
We are trying to arrange a Q&A evening which would reunite Micky Adams with Bob Booker. Probably in mid to late November at a venue to be confirmed. is this something that you would welcome and want to support and ideally attend?
