Mmmmmm. Some interesting points.
Positives: he has contacts with a lot of clubs fairly local to us (especially BCFC and Notts F); he sounds like a good guy (I prefer that to some characters we've endured); he's played for Bristol Rovers; he's keen; he's from the West Country.
Negatives: he's played for Bristol City. Still, no one's perfect.
Welcome Mr Dryden.

Well after all the hype we Get Richard "Who". Obviously got him in on the cheap and is probably a disaster waiting to happen, time will tell but I dont think he is what W.C.F.C need right now, HAS NOT GOT ENOUGH MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE IN MY VIEW.

:)Come on Stan, give the man a chance. How come you can make such a decision on the man without giving him a chance. ::)We probably won't see an improvement before Christmas. He has got to work out what he can do if he can.  |

Have you been eating webbtony's happy pills Stan? perhaps Stan was one of the unlucky 39 others or has RD upset him by bringing in a loan GK as cover for Danny |

We would have no managers if we all had you view on life, someone has to take the risk and give an assistant manager a chance. It is the same in all jobs, I admire the boards courage in their choice and I hope he proves that you have to eat your words. The team havent kicked a ball yet under his management and you have him condemned already. Give the lad a chance. It is going to take time to assess the team, find new players. He needs practically a whole new squad. That wont happen overnight. Do you ever say anything positive or nice??? |

Totally agree GC, we could take a man with 20 years experience and he can still fail. Its a total lottery anyway, and George didn't do too badly. Nobby had no experience at this level.

I've felt really positive and upbeat since the announcement of the new management team; can't believe any true supporters could be questioning his credentials before he's even had a chance!

I am entitled to my views and I'll say what I like, right now time will tell whether or not he has the credentials to take the club forward and by that I mean the conference not a top half finish for the next 2/3 seasons thats the problem here fans have become accustomed to mediocrity at Worcester from the board down, it just smells to me of getting someone in on the cheap who kind of fits the bill. I hope he does do well and in that respect I wish him well but the long succession of failures tells me different. Success is measured by winning things and lets face it we have won absolutely naff all over the last ten years! When will some of you stop living in the past and join the rest of us in 2007!!

The last ten years! We ain't won anything worth winning since 1979, which is 28 years.
However "Stan" that's all we agree on; I'm prepared to give the Board my vote for making what I think is a courageous decision. How you can say "..on the cheap" when you don't know what the man's being paid, and how that compares with other managers in this league, is the sort of ill-informed statement that makes me cringe.

Look I am not against the guy, and I am prepared to wait and see, but when we were told via various mediums that the applications were of a very high caliber and yes that would have included applicants with a lot more experience than Mr Dryden then you cant help but be somewhat cynical regarding this appointment. The bottom line is he will need to have a vast wealth of contacts to bring any quality players here, I can see a long procession of loan signings and journeymen arriving in a steady procession. My view is whilst the board may have Worcester City running through there veins it does not extend to there pockets. At this level or any other it needs hard cash to attract quality and unless the board are prepared to stump up proper money doubtless to say it will be another 28 years before any success on the field. As for the board making a courageous decision they appointed someone who fitted into the budget available in my view, If they cant find the funds within there own resources then get someone in that can, however thats unlikely with the sale of the Lane just round the corner, How much of that money will Mr Dryden see or for that matter any future incumbent, not a lot I would hasten to add. Nice words from Dave Boddy is fine but wont beat a nice cash injection. The club has under performed for the best part of 3 decades, has anyone ever had the temerity to really ask why. It seems when you question anything you suddenly become disloyal, I pay my money like everyone else but are we getting value for money I think not.

Stan
I actually agree with most of what you say. I have 1st hand experience of the board at Worcester City and about half of them are just waiting for the sale of the ground. That said there are a number of shareholders (major ones) that used to be very involved in the club but due to the incompetences of various chairmen and other figures, have decided that they will not support the club anymore whilst that mentality is in place.
These are serious people with lots of money but they will not hand it over for others to squander and use to their own advantage. This is the same reason that lots of other (potential) benefactors have shyed away in the past.
I offered some services to the club a while back (FOC naturally....) but was viewed upon with suspicion and distrust as if I were attempting to share some of their spoils.
There is no doubt DB works very hard behind the scenes but the others are happy enough to sit by and turn up and show their face a lot but contribute actually very little.

The appointment was made in my view purely on the fact the he fitted into an ever decreasing budget. King Carl was purely vrought in to soften the blow somewhat. There were far more experienced candidates Interviewd but most shyed away when they saw what was on offer, and I have that from an exceptional source!........so be quiet!!! |

:-[And what happy pills would they be? As stated once before, I did not see the city from the end of August until October, and what I saw did not inspire me. But as someone has said give me the happy pills. I need them.
