Glad he's found a home, but he was never a league manager. His recruitment was horrific. Kieran Kennedy, Callum Evans, Ryan Lloyd, Adam Crooks, Rhys Browne, Johnny Maddison, Jordan Archer, Richie Bennett, Zak Mills, Danny whitehead, David Fitzpatrick, Guthrie, the theo Robinson vs Jamile matt farce.

I think Amoo and Hurst are the only signings of his left.

What a horrendous list of players that is. I had to have a look at who is where and it looks like only Bennett and Mills are still in the football league. 
Johnny Maddison hasn’t had a club since leaving here but Guthrie has banged in 13 goals in 18 games for Roundhouse Punjab!!

His recruitment here was terrible and I’m glad Carol acted when she did because I’ve no doubt had she stuck by him (which I thought she was going to do) then we would have been relegated.

I can't help think about all the sweeping changes, investment, appointment of a director of football and scouting improvements since he left.

Think it might be harsh to say he's never a league manager. Maybe he's never had football league quality support network at the club. Thinking about Macc, when he first arrived at Vale and job he has done with York he clearly is good at making an impact. I personally hope to see him in the league again (maybe with York).

That list of signings ia shocking mind.

It’s a difficult one to be honest. It’s true to say the structure now is totally different but would Askey have worked in it or in fact would he have wanted to? The truth is even so the players had stopped listening to him clearly in part due to some of the squad who were just stealing a living at that point but also him not being ruthless enough with them. Think back to last summer would he have done what DC did and got rid of them all? I suspect probably not.

He’s a good man though and clearly at Conference and below he is proven. I think in a year or two he could get York back up where they belong.

We will never really know, but keeping the club in the league in the Smurfwaite era was incredible. You can moan about his awful recruitment but I think the problem was expectations were much lower thanks to Smurfwaite. We may not have had the immediate budget because one thing for sure we have a squad that is obviously more expensive than his era. 
 

I enjoyed the close to playoff Askey season before it all went off. 
 

Frankly if common yob Barton can succeed as a league manager then anyone can.
