Thoughts on This and That

That was the song wasn’t it?

While feeling a little hungover after birthday celebrations in a Warsaw park a year ago I wrote in my little notebook three goals for the year ahead, they were…

1 - Make a proper effort to learn Spanish properly

2 - Likewise, but with the guitar

3 - Get a decent job, or at least one with decent prospects.

Needless to say, I have failed miserably.

I’ll do the same again this year, but I’ll restrict it to 2 targets…

1 - As 1 above

2 - Not to be in the country on my birthday next year.

Hopefully I’ll have more success this time!

Not just me, with my blog yesterday, but Bradford (Park Avenue) chief executive Bob Blackburn, and the Telegraph and Argus for publishing the Nicky Law to Avenue story.

As I said previously, I felt Law was out of his depth when managing Bradford City, it seems contract’s are a subject he struggles with too, he won’t now be joining Avenue - he had assured them he didn’t have a contract at Alfreton Town, but it turns out he did - he wasn’t aware that a “piece of paper” he signed was actually a 3 year contract.

Oh dear!

Bradford (Park Avenue) have announced ex Bradford City manager Nicky Law is to take the reigns at the Horsfall Stadium, after they recently parted company with ex boss Benny Phillips.

Although I never rated Law in his time at VP, I wish him well at Avenue, he took over at City when we were in meltdown after the Premiership experience and, to me, he always seemed to be way out of his depth - him being a cheap appointment by Geoffrey Richmond because he had done well with financially troubled Chesterfield in the 4th division.

Avenue have lofty ambitions these days, being bankrolled by a sugar-daddy the Unibond League 1 club (average attendance about 300) recently announced plans to buid a 20,000 capacity stadium - maybe one day it will play host to a Bradford derby in the Football League - but I won’t hold my breath!
