After not being paid for four months, so it was reported.

Correct
Who wouldn't
The Woking fella looks ideal by the way or somebody with a similar history.

Ainsworth has reportedly turned down Lincoln's initial offer to become their manager but talks are ongoing.

A Daily Mail thread on the Lincoln City site. Whoops! I see the question has already been answered.

If Ainsworth does accept, MF will immediately be installed as favourite to replace him. So it goes.....

I don't think Flynn is going anywhere unless the BOD have seen the amount Huddersfield have paid to Lincoln for the Cowley Brothers and want to take a significant amount of that cash off their hands. For me there is no logic in Flynn going to Lincoln - he's currently the boss of a club that is improving year on year despite a small budget to operate on and minuscule match day revenue streams. IMHO on his current record he can do better than Lincoln. And I suspect he realises that.

I also think he wants a promotion on his CV before moving on from his hometown club. He's a young man as a Manager and has many years ahead of him to manage at higher levels. There is no need to rush to potential suitors - there will be other offers...

The essence of our club's success is that our manager has instilled a belief in the players that has enabled them to play in a manner that is better than the sum of their individual abilities.

Ok, I know what I mean even if I've expressed it poorly.

He's instilled belief. The players have bought into it, they've exceeded expectations.

This is down in no small part to Michael Flynn's man management.

And then there's Sol Campbell's man management. That's why he will be a failure at a club like Newport. IMO.

On paper Sol Campbell looks a decent "punt". Certainly what was achieved at Macclesfield last season was impressive and if County were in a similar position then he'd be towards the top of the list of potential managers. However County are not where Macclesfield were, they were there two seasons ago and County are two seasons "progressed" from that point. So IMHO Sol Campbell would put County back two seasons...

Ex-Argus rugby reporter Robin Davey says he's heard Flynn is a done deal.




Still think Flynn's nailed on for the Cardiff job when Warnock leaves in the summer. No need to go to Lincoln. He'll be in the Championship in July.

It is believed that Flynny has been interviewed it says.Another round of interviews took place Sunday,so is that another interview with or without him.

Mr Figo wrote:Steve Cotterill will no doubt be in the mix.

Although Nathan Jones would be my first choice. Has he gone yet?

Cotterill along with Westley and Sheridan is disliked by other managers,do we want another arrogant so and so.Would he drop down to L2 after a career at L1 and above.Finally,he got interviewed in 96 and didn't get the job,does he still hold a grudge,probably.

Best paper for sport by a mile.
That's why its sales are huge compared to the alternative crap about.
Keep politics in your own back yard.

Serious question,when did this interview take place.Was it today or last week.If last week,then I for one will be annoyed,especially as he said that there was no contact from Lincoln.
