Steve Watt new margate manager

[pieman1982]

Watty will have his work cut out at the Gate!
Maybe all of our players that don't quite make the grade will go there now instead of Hastings!!
Good luck

[garstone]

Good luck to him as I'm sure he will be a fine manager one day. Just think keeping them up this season maybe too tough a task. A poison chalice this job.

Didn't see that one coming. Good luck Steve, you're gonna need it.

He is good mates with the chairman. How long before Frannie etc sign on 😉

Hope they do sign Frannie . Our last goal scorer with any meaningful strike rate over an extended period. Easily up to conf south level still,

Yes, and Frannie's been going well for Hastings this season after a long barren spell

I can see Jay forging a relationship with Gate via Watty that could lead to a few loan players going in that direction. Even if we go down, Margate almost certainly will too, so we should be in a division above them either way meaning no worries in lending them players. You can be sure the moment SW needs a player, given Margate's financial problems, he'll be phoning Jay up to see who he can lend!

Well he didnt show it for us in the Conference South. Looked a shell of the player who played at that level for Tonbridge

Did Jay May not have a meaningful strike rate over an extended period whilst he top scored playing alongside Frannie?

He's only got the job until the end of the season.  Strange choice for him, given the ownership situation and the (seemingly) pointlessly impossible task he faces in that time.

Good luck to him regardless.

Yes that's true. After leaving us it took him quite a while to rediscover his scoring touch but he's got 21 for Hastings this season, albeit in Ryman South which is a long way down in standard of course. It wouldn't be a major surprise if he tries to persuade Frannie to go and play for him.

I like Rogers. I think it's a shame that he is going.

Shouldn't this be in the Non Maidstone United section ?

Nobody reads that section - it's about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

It's a section worthy of a graveyard!

Threads die there.
