Anyone remember this

[Muteswan]

“Manager” ?
Evening Post 20th September 1997


Better question is “ Can anyone forget this ” ?

Cullis with his assistant Paul Molesworth, formerly Liverpool's Midlands Scout

 

[Professor]

Was all so bizarre and surreal. Only positive is we got big Jan Molby in and some entertaining, if slightly chaotic, football. Big Jan stood on the centre spot spraying passes. Shorts made from sails!

 

[Cooperman]

Close to the top of the list of most bizarre appointments ever made.

It's someone you prefer to forget about.
Had to check his Wiki:-
Status former association football manager. (2 games)
Jailed for 9 months for fraud.
Wonder if anyone was hired as a league manager and managed just 1 game.
Or would he be the record holder.
Officially 1 and a half games.

Lasted a game and a half when Christian Edwards gave the half time team talk and everyone ignored the former Cradley Town youth manager in his second game. Jailed for fraud a few years later.

Contrast with the “Arsene who?” headlines in the nationals a couple of years later that looked stupid very quickly.

Always though it was David Penney-who did go on to management. I may be wrong.

Leroy Rosenior lasted 10 minutes at Torquay before new owners took over!

Dave Bassett had the shortest spell before that in English football (4 days at Crystal Palace in the mid 80s).

Barrow have sacked their manager Paul Gallagher after 40 days and 5 games which they lost .
After the announcement on social media
6 mins later his successor was announced.
That is a bit harsh

You're correct. It was David Penney.

It was Thompson and Cullis who first made contact with Molby. Molesworth who was assistant to Cullis was a scout with Liverpool and knew Molby and was talking of him coming down.
Very strange days but can look back fondly in a strange way.
