Good luck to Ade, and I can understand Jamie wanting to coach in the first division. However, the appointments would only be until the end of the season and, as Wingnut stresses, Jamie would be down the pecking order. Who knows, perhaps MG could offer Daisy a contract for the rest of this year and for next season too? Also, I wonder whether Jamie could combine coaching at the Gills as well as managing at the Wings?

I would be offering Daisy some of the money that Ade is getting, re-naming a stand after him, giving him a 3 year contract, control of an academy if/when it is in the running, the freedom of Welling and virtually anything he wants.

What Daisy has done at this club in his 2 spells here is remarkable, and we simply cannot afford for him to leave.

But if he does go it's a huge risk, Daisy can re-build his reputation at Welling after Ebbsfleet and Braintree. If it doesn't work out at Gillingham, then where does he go?

Daisy has said in the press over the last few weeks that he has been a number two and wants to be a manager, so hopefully that will mean he will stay at Welling.

Hope so .........

JD & the coaching team have have certainly worked wonders, the performance  and especially that 5th goal on Sunday will always be remembered. Unfortunately true loyalty in football is rare so if a better offer comes along it's going to be hard to resist be it JD or Coombes, but in JD's case I'd hope he'd take a longer term view of his career and realise that staying at PVR, as manager, and getting the wings back into the National league, would make a far better entry on his c.v. than any success as a number 2 or 3 elsewhere.

No prizes for guessing which player (s) could go to the Gills. Shafted, again.

1) Thanks for getting us 12 points and some money from the Trophy. Both could be crucial.

2) I doubt any of us if we were in football for a career would make a different decision than Day has done.

3) I know our stock was low when he rejoined but so was his. I was hoping our business acumen had improved, so I don't know if Goldberg was waiting to see if he still had the magic before getting him on contract and we have been caught with our trousers down. I would have thought we would have at least have tried to get him on contract when his role changed otherwise.

4) On the performance side he'd be welcomed back. Given that it is now evident he is part of Pennock's team and thus this doubles the risk of him moving from just being a manager, if he ever did come back, you'd have to factor that risk into any contract and make it plain those were the terms. If he couldn't agree to it, you are better off knowing early and there is always Erith and Belvedere if he is that attached to PVR.

5) All this is now in the past. I am hoping Day was not the only one Goldberg was looking at before Christmas and that any other options he had looked at might still be available. I take it as a positive he has not put himself back in charge.

6) This is sadly all rather indicative of where we are in the food chain, not helped by our comparative historical off field weakness. Hopefully the improvements off field will reduce our susceptibility to such events but when you see Klopp being touted for Barcelona, few clubs are safe from a bit of poaching and several of the ones that are have a revolving door anyway. Unless anyone knows the english equivalent of Guy Roux we might recruit.....

As I said previously I can't begrudge Daisy the chance to coach at League One level. From a selfish point of view I hope it doesn't work out and then he might come back although I suppose my first wish is that MG makes a good solid appointment this time around and we don't need to worry about a managerial change for some time.

He has left us in a far better position than when he came in with essentially the same playing staff. Clearly a bit better organised, clearly a bit fitter and clearly more tactically aware too. it is now up to the players to carry on doing the same things in training and on matchdays and for them (and us) not to use this change as an excuse for taking our foot off the pedal and/or sub standard performances. There is no reason why this group of players can not continue to take us higher up the league. With the Trophy game coming up MG has a little bit of breathing space over the next week or two to consider who takes over next. We have a caretaker team in place but please please please can we have a proper manager in place and not a "management team" ever again....

Now it is our job to support the team so if you can get to Hemel and/or Bromley in the next couple of weeks then get along and support the team. Most of us were here long before Jamie Day came along and we will all be here long after he has gone (hopefully!)

Up the Wings!

I too am scratching my head why JD wasn't offered a season long contract.

Maybe he was but refused.

maybe the plan was to simply change Wellings fortunes and place both him and Ade in the shop window

Full welling backroom team!
