New CEO Neil Doncaster on 09:55 - Apr 9 with 3335 views | MrTown | No, let's do it our way, not by trying to replicate Norwich City, we tried that with their most successful manager. In Mick's words..... that went well. |  |

That couldn't be further from the truth..... on 09:59 - Apr 9 with 3288 views | Bloots | ....unless you actually mean David McNally, who took over from Doncaster. Doncaster has been a disaster everywhere he's worked. |  |

think he helped with one promotion in the huckerby days, but resigned when we went to league 1. Unfortunately Bloots is right for a change - mcnally was the guy who really kick started the 2nd bout of prem years. Edit: not the "glory" prem years as everyone knows that was in the 90s.

Bowden was kind enough to let me interview him in person for my dissertation. Lovely bloke. Essex Cricket also achieved great things under his tenure. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Not sure it was that well run under McNally either, they then had a spell where CEOs and managers both seemed to depart with regularity but they remained in the yo-yo every season or so which persists.

Delia, then, it's Delia we need. And we all know she's really a Town supporter. |  |

It was probably Paul Lambert who put them on track more than anyone else! |  | |  |

It's pretty much Webber isn't it who's turned the Nodge around? |  |

Yes, I was about to say Stewart Webber but that’s never going to happen. Jonathan Jackson is my choice as he worked with Cook at Wigan. I really don’t want Mark Ashton but fear it will be him. |  |

I bow to your greater knowledge (and unimpaired memory!), although the McNally / Lambert thing worked well for a few years at least. What happenned to McNally? Is he still in the game? |  |

Fair dos - I remember the crowds started to get big before we finally got promoted with the Huckerby team. Edit: I think! [Post edited 9 Apr 2021 10:30]

Yep me to, I can see why the board will want Ashton, but from fans point of view, i'd prefer Jackson, |  |

Here's the thing. And this is only something I've felt since Wednesday @ 11am. I 100% trust our owners and Chairman to get this right. It's a weird feeling after all this time. |  |

wasnt Simon heavily involved in the supporters group before he left? be good to get him back for that. We need an experienced CEO not someone to learn how to be one |  |
