@brommmm I mean attendance was a minor question mark, as alluded to

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

What an astonishing tenure Andy Woodman has had at Hayes Lane!

Two promotions, including a Football League title, and the FA Trophy in a five-year stint.

His side were unbelievably good out-of-possession in League Two last season, and weakened the opposition performance with impeccable consistency due to their collective resolve and organisation, and were a nightmare to face from set pieces.

In some ways, a victim of his own success.

Had Bromley still been in League Two making incremental progress year-on-year, he's probably still in a job.

So, some would argue he's almost been punished for taking them so quickly to a level that the club probably doesn't quite have what it takes to compete at just yet.

Having said that, I'm also open-minded to the possibility that there might be more than performances and results contributing to this parting of ways.

Woodman's record is extraordinary, whichever way he's gone about it, but it's possible that minor question marks in areas like attendance contributed to this mutual parting of ways.

There may have been one or two logistical imperfections last season that might have flown under the radar when everything was going so well that, I just wonder, might have become more problematic when results aren't everything.

Nonetheless, he's done an extraordinary job.

A fantastic motivator and man manager, who will go down as one of the most influential figures in the club's history.

Club Statement 📝

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

@brommmm Spent a bit of time in America in-season last year I gather. Fantastic man manager and motivator in terms of the games themselves but I suspect his attendance record is lower than other managers.

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

@moveincircles It’s forbiden to say

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

@LaurenceCombyne Yes, that’s fair. After everything you’ve been through, you’re probably not going to give up stakes outside the immediate Wimbledon family willy nilly

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

Fantastic prospective news at Wimbledon.

Ivor Heller, Erik Samuelson, Mick Buckley and… no, I’m not going to name the whole fanbase, lots of people, have worked unprecedented miracles to create the PLC in 2002 and get the club to where it is today.

Dons have probably hit their ceiling of what’s possible under fan ownership, so a group that buys into the ethos of the club, whilst having the funds to take it further, is as close as you can get to the ideal scenario.

The fact they’re willing to accept a minority stake for a reported £87M commitment over five years is an enormous green flag.

So excited for the fans.

AFC Wimbledon will present an option to members that will aim to secure the long-term financial future of the club:
- Club remains majoritively Trust-owned (50.01%)
- Investor Omar Mir will invest £87m over five years
- Trust keeps control of stadium freehold

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

@LaurenceCombyne I think financially it’ll be very difficult for the club to have a sustainable future above League One with 100% fan ownership - how do you see it?

@Jimbokav1971 I don’t know about that, but I did feel they brought in too many players rather than keep the cohesion and synergy of the pre-existing group. What do you think @bromleywithlove?

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

@erbromleyfc Wouldn’t disagree. I just think they may be additional factors at play as if it was just about performances and results then, as you allude to, it would be extremely harsh.

Who next for Crawley? 🤔

@adamshillcock1 @pragmatistefc I think it's a fair interpretation

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

Correct decision.

Managerial inexperience is secondary to me, here - it’s more that I don’t believe Colin to be a particularly proactive coach at senior level.

Could be wrong here but, from what I can gather, I suspect he might be guilty of trying to cut-and-paste coaching sessions from the top level, rather than borrow some ideas and tailor them in a way that suits the group he’s working with.

For now, I’d have to say I don’t know if he’s quite got the right initiative for senior management.

He’s clearly a reflective, thoughtful guy though, with some interesting ideas on broader topics, so I’m sure he can influence people in a different setting.

All three depart with the best wishes of everyone at Crawley Town, and we wish them every success in their future endeavours.

@NicholasRodney I have empathy and compassion for the human side of this, and I don't want anyone to lose their job. At the same time, my north star is accuracy and that means being honest about what I think.

[Gabriel Sutton @GabSutton]

I heard from somebody in the game that Colin was watching Vincent Kompany's training sessions at Bayern Munich on his iPhone, either just before or during his own, as a step-by-step guide for how to coach League Two footballers. Not 100% certain I've remembered that correctly but pretty sure that was the gist of it.
