While we are on the subject of Stevenage, I would like to tell you a bit about their manager - our old manager, Mark Stimson. Yes, fair play to the guy- he got us promoted to the Conference, finishing 3rd in our first season and we won the F.A. Trophy two years on a trot. But this guy is a bit of tosser. We had just won the FA trophy, again! Reached the play-offs - only being narrowly defeated in the semis by Halifax. Then Mark Stimson announces he is gonna resign- which was a bit of a kick in the teeth. But we all wished him the best and understood that he would like to manage a league team. There were rumours that he was gonna take over at Millwall, in-fact he seemed a popular choice amongst the Millwall faithful. Instead of going to a league team he joined conference rivals Stevenage. In a BBC interview, just after he left us he said;
"I would like to manage a team in the Football League. I'd like to either be there or with a club who can get there. Grays can be a League side but that will take time, I think this year we had a great chance because of the start we made. "
Now, to me that sounds as though he didn't think we can make the league yet but he thinks Stevenage, a team that finished below us last season, can make it! (no wonder why we didn't keep our good spell last season, he didn't have faith in us!)The only other explanation was that no one else wanted him so he had to go to Stevenage- either way, he is a tosser.
So well done Stimson, you have surpassed yourself- You are now with a team in The FA Trophy final and are chasing a play off place - same shit, different team. What a tosser!
