What's his record with developing players, and progressing youth players into the first team?
Feel like that's something we haven't quite perfected yet.

Managers will always be touted via agents. That’s just football. Apparently he was at Northampton. Wow. Surprised he still wanted the job

Not my preferred option but he comes across really well, and should be someone the players enjoy working for. The fact he knows most of the backroom staff should make for a smooth settling in period. Good luck Neil, let’s start making more memories, starting Saturday.

Happy this has been concluded so quickly but it does make me wonder if there was a succession plan in place a while ago? PB stating that others had been interviewed too is probably quite correct, but this has moved… quickly.
Anyhow, welcome Neil! I was a bit gutted when we seemingly never made an offer for him as a player when he was banging goal in for City and I’ve kept an eye out on what he’s been up to since, so it is great he finally gets the chance to do something with Cambridge’s premier side! (Sorry, 60’s dig/joke).

Yeah, I know it's "in the region/in the area" but Southend to Cambridge is a pretty dreadful commute.

Should have some good contacts for the January window. Have Gillingham got any decent players we can nab?
