Agree with this. We should have no problem with him moving on in time if he leaves us in a much better place than when he arrived. As long as it's done in a decent respectful way - unlike the disgraceful cr@p Holloway came out with. To be fair RL did show genuine loyalty to Bury - and even upsetting a few here by his continued links and talking about them. So I don't think he is a fly-by-night.davie nine":2rylap29 said:He has a long career ahead of him in football management. He has committed himself to PAFC for 3 years and, depending on his success in that time, he will probably move on.
If he, at least, establishes us in League 1 with the potential of reaching the Championship, he will be ‘hot property’ and may be wanted by better clubs than Sheffield Wednesday.
I hope that he stays for the length of his contract because he has been a breath of fresh air but I feel confident that, if he goes, Simon Hallett will ‘pull another rabbit out of the hat’.
Let’s face it, our owner and chairman is also developing an excellent reputation in the English football community for his honesty and integrity.
I'd be disappointed if he doesn't at least see out his present contract whatever happens. Let's not uderestimate ourselves though. This is a cracking opportunity for an upwardly mobile manager - there are precious few clubs around like us with a very supportive board who will not interfere, financially stable, a good fan base & facilities and most importantly room for improvement. In a couple of years if he has us competing at the top end of L1 or even (dare I say) in the Championship he will have seriously big clubs beating the door down for him. Why risk a move before then that could very quickly go t1ts-up? That's why I'd be suprised if he' not here at least until that contract expires - it would suit him and us - then we part on good terms.
