May well be worth pursuing if Villa and more importantly Seb Revan fancy dropping down to League 1 and helping us out.
yes please !. I have watched a certain video that features him loads and loads of times.22/04/24
Paul Davis (Advertiser) Twitter - Steve Evans is exploring the possibility of bringing Alex Revell back to the NYS in a coaching capacity.
My comment - Possibly as the Academy coach ? ... and tell him to get his boots on! He would still be better than who we have up front now.
Stevenage are hoping to keep him on as manager I understand.22/04/24

the good news keeps on coming.
That’s the easy bit.
Craig, it's not good news but simply the activation of a contract provision. It might be good news if the two players agree to new contracts. Taylor or Richardson or my granny could have activated these extensions and it reflects nothing on either SE or TS.
It’s to stop them walking away for free if any other clubs are interested in signing them.
Good point. I remember PW's misplaced optimism on Smith and Icky. We lost them and Chieo for nothing. We failed to get the JL deal over the line and lost out on (rumoured) £450K due to wrangles over staging of payments.
IMO SE deserves to have the final say - he’s the one that get’s the backlash if the players don’t play well/aren’t good enough or don’t fit into the team!
Sixpence, it's all down to opinion. An increasing number of clubs are moving away from the old style manager to a structure of Head Coach and DOF. I have repeatedly stated why I support this for RUFC (while sharing your view on RS). It is because if you want a long term strategy for developing talent and a disciplined approach to transfers you find this is often incompatible with the wishes of a manager whose primary concern is to do well in a particular season. It leads to short-termism, a refusal to risk youngsters and a preference for (expensive) established talent. It means every time a manager moves on we are faced with the need to rebuild. RUFC have been down this road. We don't give promising youngsters a chance, we hold onto our better players and let them go for nothing and we sign old often injury prone players all because the manager is more concerned with results than the long-term health of a club when he probably won't be here long-term.
