Thanks and good luck to Simon Larkins

[SEA Grecian]

I know this has already been mentioned on the social media thread but I think it deserves a thread of its own. Simon, along with his partner-in-crime Scott Palfrey, has done a magnificent job over the last few years and I've particularly enjoyed his interviews with Matt Taylor; it can't be easy interviewing the same person so often but he always managed to get something interesting out of the manager.

I was wondering about this pre Covid. Simon had done a good job at ECFC and it seemed to me that it might only be a matter of time before he moved on to a (much) bigger club. Rather like our footballears, ECFC can be a good place to grow and improve, enabling a subsequent step up.

and conversely Covid caused me to worry about staff cuts. Fortunately we are very well placed with the very competent and hugely popular Scott Palfrey in post. And so the cycle will begin again, right down to the University students who volunteer to assist with some media work, a great starting point for a career that is so difficult to break into.

We've also already had the excellent Craig Bratt helping out with the media side of things and I believe he'll be doing more on matchdays next season.

And as for any covid-related staff cuts I personally think the first use of any Watkins windfall should be re-employ as many of these people as possible.

Disappointed with Simon, always thought he was a true City fan,.Crawled off to Norwich, hope he doesn't suffer the same fate as Matt Gill.

The Matt Gill who was later U23 coach at Norwich and is now 1st team coach at Ipswich?

That Matt Gill?
