The great escape he deserves huge credit but he could only ever play that trick once.

Flynn soured things for me when he was applying and failing to get every job under the sun throughout his time with us.

Mrs F wouldnt go to Lincoln. No way would she go to Hartlepool.

I hope for his sake he has got a decent pay off as he could be a long time unemployed as a Football Manager..
.Back to being an Estate Agent for MF , me thinks as he was doing before joining us from Undy...

In fairness to Flynn like any employee, I don't have a problem with him seeking a better job elsewhere. Newport County along with every League club will sack a manager at the drop of a hat, as indeed Mr Flynn has twice discovered. What I did have a problem with was that the then board of directors allowed Flynn to become bigger than the club.

He was offered and accepted the Lincoln job. He held us over a barrel and decided to stay because his wife didn't fancy moving to Lincoln. The motorway commute to Walsall is doable, Lincoln not so much. Once we knew of that, he should have been shown the door.
