WHO SHOULD BE CITY MANAGER?

ALAN BALL IS OUR NEW MANAGER
After Horton beeing sacked Tuesday 16/5, the manager poll was changed to vote for who should replace him at Maine Road. To vote for the new manager, you could send an email to svenn@hanssen.priv.no, with the name of the persons you vote for. You had the possibility to vote for up to three different names, but you had to make a priority-list. No 1 got 3 points, no 2 got 2 points and no 3 got 1 point. So if you like Kidd, Lee and Royle, in that order this should be in the body of your email:

No 1: Brian Kidd
No 2: Francis Lee
No 3: Joe Royle

At 1/7 1995 Alan Ball agreed to become Citys new manager. Francis Lee had approached Ball already before he became chairman, and Ball manager of Southampton. This also ended the vote for new manager poll.
