Did a great job here and walked giving plenty of time for DK to find a replacement, even though DK wasted the chance.
Honourable man, I would have no problem with him coming back in some capacity. Not going to happen though.
Wasn't this one of the better passages of DK'S book? Knight wanted Coppell who had gone to Thailand without mobile for 3 weeks *aye* When he got back, he was interviewed straight away where Coppell had severe jet lag. During the interview Coppell fell asleep like an East stand upper season ticket holder.
Hishelwood got the job and turned down Sidwell and Kolo Toure on loan to play Wilkenson and Marney.
One day, someone will write something similar about Hyppia.
Interesting times certainly.
The version I heard was that some German manager, who had managed in the World Cup, was supposed to become manager but upped his wage demands dramatically just before he was going to be announced? Hinshelwood was cajoled into taking the job with a guarantee he'd still have a job if it all went pear shaped?

That was how I heard it press conference etc arranged but he didnt leave Gatwick so rather thanj cancel DK gave it to Hinsh.
Indeed. That was the highlight of my football career: a teamtalk from Peter Taylor! (Think he'd been manager for more than a day though?)Seemed like a nice guy. I remember him coming into the dressing room for the first REMF match which I think was his first day in the job.
[An absolutely ridiculous thread to start 2015...this " could do a job " thing does my head in.

Honourable man, ha ha.
Always "honoured" his contractual obligations as long as the chairman was prepared to spend spend spend.
As soon as the gold ran out, he was offskis.

I don't remember it that well either! He didn't say much except 'Go out and enjoy yourselves'. Then I think he said "And we're expecting great things from you Brovion as you're easily the best player here." (Actually I think I might have imagined that). All I DO remember is standing there thinking "Wow, it's Peter Taylor!"I can't actually remember him saying anything other than "oh, it's you" to Insider.
