Hi All

Its only Willy here, the Halifax Town Supporter down on the Costa Del Sol.  
I read with interest that Big Jim states in the local Halifax Paper he is Signing a Fantastic Midfielder (Hopefully this week)who he has had playing for him over a year ago elsewhere.  
Sorry to say it must be one of your current or ex boys, Any of you any idea who it could be and is he as good as Jim thinks?

Alex Brown?  
Mark Peers?  
Ben Thornley?  
Rob Lloyd?  
Dave Macpherson?

Some players he maufactured the release of and is now buying back  
More yes men to settle the dressing room rift!

My money would be on Alex Brown, he was always likely to end up at Halifax. If not him then Dave MacPherson would be the best of the bunch.

Rob Lloyd was at one stage listed as being in the Halifax squad; [http://www.halifaxafc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail](http://www.halifaxafc.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail)

Maybe he is signing Rob again and forgot he had already done this!

anyway,good luck to you and hope you lads stay up bcos your a good club,and if i remember rightly from my last visit a nice set up too.

Unfortunately FCHxT, Mr Vince is very plausible, he is a good talker and his ego means he thinks the sun shines out of his \*\*\*\*! When everything is going his way he is fine!

There is no reason for any of our fans to have anything against HT and only against your current manager. I dearly hope for your sake that he gets found out before doing any damage to your rebuilding process. He has signed a couple of players for you that he didn’t consider were good enough for Witton so he has a habit of changing his mind when it suits.

Sadly we are involved a dog fight at the bottom of the table due to his actions in the summer, but hopefully our manager and players have the spirit and character to get us out of the situation. Despite our league position we ironically feel we are better off without him!

It has been pretty obvious from an outsiders perspective that Jemson was a ready made replacement for Vince, I remember thinking at the time that it was a very strange to decision by Jim to put his replacement in place as number 2. It strikes me that because he has already been a first team manager that Jemson is unlikely to want to be in the shadows for too long, plus with him playing at the moment he is possibly closer to the players.

It’s a funny old game football and what goes around comes around. Hopefully you will relieve yourself of the snake and stand a better chance of getting promoted! I hope for your sake this is the case.

Never mind Willy, at least you are warm.
