It's reported it's an ex player?

Is that only a few supporters saying it is an ex player, the Dover Web Site just states that the new manager is "highly-experienced", so until tomorrow it will be very much a guessing game full of rumours.

It would seem Neil Bell referred to it being a ex player, some assumed that meant an ex Dover player but he never said Dover, as most managers are ex players he was on pretty safe ground. Not long to wait now Harry and then the fun will start, we only have 5 players signed for next season so he will have to be busy.

Press conference and announcement delayed now until Friday, legal formalities to sort out apparently.

That is a pain having to wait a few more days but JP will do it by the book and I am sure he will get the right man for the job.
Only having a five players signed is a worry by I remember when Hess came in we were low in signed players and he got a good team sorted by the start of that season. I am sure this experienced manager who ever he is, will do the same.

I think I can use the term "He" as I do not know any experienced female football managers.

Ian Hendon. Well I have to say why all the Hype beforehand when we end up with someone with no real track record. I wish him well but he has a hard track record to follow after Hess and I just have my doubts.
hope i'm wrong.
But none the less will support the guy and wish him Good Luck

I was asked to go for the job, after reading this maybe I should have, but I also wish him well it is a very big act to follow, but Dover needs to go up this time to keep the support of the public and keep the gates up to over the 1000 mark,let us all hope Mr Hendon gets more funding to get better players and taller ones to.
But I am waiting on the end of the phone if I am needed at anytime.
You'll get the call in winter Vic, when they need plenty of hot air to defrost the pitch!
Sorry, but you did walk into that one; no offence meant.
