Ricey Posted 11 May 2005 Author Posted 11 May 2005 FULL TIME Gutted, can't believe it. We battled so well and it's really hard to lose due to a sloppy stoppage time goal, another Final defeat is very hard to take. We may of done well with 10 men but we should of even been down to 10 men in the first place if Junior hadn't of been so stupod. All is left is lots of ifs, buts and maybes. Another season in League One beckons.
CasinoGee Posted 11 May 2005 Posted 11 May 2005 Junior is shite, as is McKenzie. Sign Ian Armstrong for some creative flair behind the front two, and chris Birchall for some good play down the right wing.

McKenzie has been poor but was superb when he came on in the final.
Muz Posted 11 May 2005 Posted 11 May 2005 Unluky Mate Next season im sure you will get promotion HOPEFULLY! Sign Lionel Morgan he is a legend!! And Castillo a young defender from Colimbuia hes worth a look and hes only costs 4k
Ricey Posted 11 May 2005 Author Posted 11 May 2005 28th May 2006 - I resign from my position as manager of Luton Town. I feel I have done the best job I could of done and I now want a fresh challenge, also all the players reacted very angrily too my desicion to fine Junior one weeks wages.
Anish Posted 11 May 2005 Posted 11 May 2005 Haha! Nice one...Now take over at Port Vale! 107085[/snapback] Are you sure you want him to be in charge of your beloved Port Vale!?

Ric Flair Posted 12 May 2005 Posted 12 May 2005 Whatever happens Ricey get Deuchar when you take over another club, I still think you'll struggle to get a better club than Luton. Agonising, but pure entertainment.
Stuliasz Posted 12 May 2005 Posted 12 May 2005 What's your reputation Ricey? Expecting any decent job offers?
Ricey Posted 12 May 2005 Author Posted 12 May 2005 What's your reputation Ricey? Expecting any decent job offers? 107245[/snapback] I have local reputation and a description of 'Talented manager'.
Stuliasz Posted 12 May 2005 Posted 12 May 2005 I have the same as that with Ashton Utd on my career and I get job offers from the lower reaches of League one and league two, so I'm sure you will be able to get a decent job having managed Luton.
