Glen Driver resigns from Braintree 11:32 - Nov 7 with 7102 viewsitfcjoe

Had started the season very well with a tiny budget, obviously more to it - a shame though as was interested to see how he got on as he always had Leiston playing some nice stuff and took them as far as anyone could

Shame. Wouldn't like to see his career stall.

It was a bit out of the blue, perhaps he will go back and try and salvage Leiston's disastrous season.

Back to Leiston? They are currently bottom of the league.

It's true, they were working on peanuts from all I've heard - if the fanbase was expecting to be challenging then they need the truth to be told to them.

Stowmarket Town are paying more than them

Over expectant fans as you say on a tiny budget. No real prospect of every achieving a consistent level of success.

Done a cracking job in difficult circumstances.

As a fan who’s been to every Braintree home game this season (and Enfield away in the FA Cup loss), I’m actually quite pleased to see him leave. The chairman rarely gives managers the sack (1 in the last 10 years), but Glen needed to go. Recent form has been awful, lost 3 nil at home to team who were bottom. Tactical changes and subs in game have been strange. Should be in play off spots and pushing for the title after the relegation. He recruited well with a squad from scratch but seems like a bit of a dijk to be honest. Even after winning a game 1 nil at home he took the team talk on the pitch having a go at players in one game.

Just out of interest, what makes you think you should be in the play off's?

He's marmite, that's for sure.

I had a fall out with him some time ago but we're ok now. He's alright.

400 quid a game for some of Stow players, and close to 10k signing on fees being paid for certain players. Madness.

I go to home games when not attending Ipswich and is a good afternoon catching up with lots of old faces and a short stumble home after a few bevvies.

A wealthy farmer ploughing a shed ton of money in and the manager is not short of a bob either.

Heard that they had to pay close to 20k to another club to buy a player out of his contract.

They are decent to watch tbf and should walk the division but should do as quite a few players dropped down several divisions to sign.

Wealthy millionaire backer - a race horse owner from the local area.

Talk of £10k player signing on fees are wide of the mark, but they did pay £12k in a transfer fee to Leiston for Seb Dunbar. I'm told Bullard, Jefford and Blake are all on £350 p/w.

The club could easily hold its own a couple of leagues above when you consider the size of the town and the way that much-smaller Needham Market have achieved it.

The Town Council needs to believe in what's going on at Greens Meadow and give the club some slack to make the necessary improvements that could help them become Suffolk's 'second team'.

10K! You can pay that for a England international prospect.

Money has gone crazy at all levels now.

Almost every play in National North/South has an agent and stupid fees and wages being paid in the steps below.

In academy football, Town U15 played Norwich a few weeks back and Norwich had three 14 year olds that they'd paid £500k each for. None stood out.

Definitely think there is an element up the road of thinking they have cracked it and believeing the hype a little bit too much.

Signed a load of players for U23s as well in last couple of years, all well and good but looks like they'll be back in the Champ next year and the failure to spend proper money in the PL (Sheff U levels, not Villa levels) will come back to bite them and bouncing back not easy
