So it’s the end of an era. Gary Lowe and his assistant Martyn Booty have moved on. In their place we have John Flanagan who was manager at Mossley for a short while, and an as yet unnamed assistant. Mossley folk (as they like to call themselves) hold Flanagan in high regard and he did have success while he was in charge.
Lowe and Booty (sounds like the name of a bad ‘70’s cop show) were vociferous in their frustration with players when Curzon were on the pitch. It sometimes appeared to us spectators that they had worked out prior to kick off who was going to be that day’s target and the poor player would not be able to do a thing right throughout the game. Neither of them were known for their expressions of praise, either for players or spectators. Having said that, Curzon have made it to the playoffs for the last few years, so they must have been doing something right.
So now we have John Flanagan. What we don’t know as yet is who will be playing for him. Shifting managers tend to have a magnetic touch. Hopefully, Flanagan can build a side which can take Curzon on to greater things,
Whatever happens, I’m hoping for a quieter season as I sit in the seats behind the dugout.
