Welcome back Bimmo, see ya later Reedy
The bald scousers club at United enrolled another member yesterday with the return of Stuart Bimson as first team coach.
I was never a big fan of Bimmo as a player. He wasn’t really good enough to start with, then when he returned to the team he benefited from what I like to call Andy Duncan syndrome, whereby the paucity of the players around you makes you appear to be better than you actually are.
Anyway, he always seemed like a decent enough fellow, and has all his coaching badges, so will hopefully be a good addition to the team. He certainly didn’t do Hoyte or Farrell, his two former Bedford protégés, any harm, and anything which allows Carden to spend more time focussed on playing is a good thing in my book.
Speaking of crap left back’s, I wasn’t displeased to see Alan Lewer make an entirely predictable swoop for his secret lovechild, Stephen Reed. While Reedy made a few good contributions last season, he is a limited and easily replaceable player, who by all accounts thinks he’s better than he is. I doubt he’ll be missed unduly.
Meanwhile, just like the Cristiano Ronaldo saga, only with less preening and crass slavery references, the proposed transfer of Chester striker Chris Holroyd continues to drag on and on and on. “It's not dead in the water and I think we've got a good relationship with Chester,” the Brabinator told yesterday’s CEN, despite the fact that the strikers agent is continuing to avoid him like Peaches Geldof dodges rehab.
So far Holroyd has flirted with Stockport County and Bournemouth, while showing no public desire to come to United. One suspects he is keeping us hanging on as a last resort, and if that is the case I think it’s time to look elsewhere, starting tonight with Bury trialist Domaine Rouse. I reckon that with a smile like that the 19-year old could go a long way.
