 I told you Cambridge United George Rolls was no good and now another manager has fallen out with him and departed the Shabbey hot Seat after just nine days! The double dealing chairman has seen highly the accomplished Martin Ling call to question Sunday's revelation that he in fact offered the manager's job to no less than THREE short listed candidates and arranged for all of them to be in accomodation adjacent to the ground ten days ago only to text two of them that they hadn't in fact got the job. Ebbsfleet's Liam Daish, former Assistant Manager and journeyman non league manager Alan Lewer both received the message: "it's not you" just as they were about to arrive at the club's press conference to announce the new appointment and Lewer has in fact spilled the beans to the Non League Paper and has instructed his solicitor to sue whilst Daish is considering his actions. Ling meanwhile informed the double dealing Chairman this morning that his own personal standards and ethics were much higher than the snake's belly level of the chairman who also (according to Lewer) told the Assistant Weymouth boss of the time that former boss Gary Brabin was "48 hours from the chop " immediately before Chritmas and promptly quit!

Strange set-up. Heaven knows what goes-on behind the scenes at that club.
I thought that they were exceptionally fortunate to bring-in a Manager such as Ling in the first place, although what would he have had left to work with?
I wonder whether Jim Harvey's absence from FGR had anything to do with the Cambridge job.......

Well, perhaps Mr Rolls will get what he deserves: chaos; a dreadful reputation; supporter unrest. Not sure about bargepoles along the Cam but surely now self-respecting managers won't touch him with a punt pole? But there'll be somebody of course....
The NLP reported the alleged texts to Alan Lewer and Liam Daish as "SORRY NOT U" (which I think is even blunter than Merse's version). And Mr Trade Recruitment's verdict on Alan Lewer? "With all due respect, Cambridge United would have been scraping the bottom of the barrel if we had employed him".
Respect? I see.
And a cracking quote from the day he became chairman in January:
"The key thing, for me, is continuity and stability and we haven't had that."

Mr Rolls sounds like one of those chairman who put themselves in the limelight when they really should be working behind the scenes to making sound decisions over the future direction of the club. Another 6 months down the line and they'll be a scoop in the local Cambridge rag about him not having the money he's supposed to have and then the Cambridge Fire Brigade will get called out in the early hours of the morning to extinguish a fire in the Habbin Stand.
So far he's got rid of Jimmy Quinn, Gary Brabin and now Martin Ling. I wonder if Leroy will apply now? I mean employing a bloke for a whole 9 days is almost long termism.

Listen to the guy rambling on the BBC non league website and ask yourself "would I want this geezer in MY club's chair?" He delusionally refers to himself as "leading the club at Wembley", surely another pathetic example of a so called chairman failing to smell the coffee and recognising that it is managers who lead clubs ~ no wonder he couldn't keep them!

Now Martin Ling has signed a new three year contract................you couldn't make it up could you except that ousted former Chairman George Rolls is now telling everyone that Liam Daish was offered the job first. He just can't go away quietly or with any dignity can he? Anyone know a good hit man?
