appointment of Challinor but also paid tribute to the work that has been done
by Sweeney and McGuckin.“We're delighted that Dave has agreed to join us,” he toldPools TV.
“We've agreed the terms and his contract, and there are a
couple of small things he's trying to resolve with Fylde so, to give the
appropriate time for that, our plan is for him to start work properly on Monday.“In the meantime, Tony Sweeney and Ian McGuckin willcontinue to take the team, while Dave will be around with a watching brief.
“We're in a luxurious position with the job that the two of
them have done to be able to give Dave that time and it's not preventing him
being around the place.“In any circumstances, for this weekend he would probably have been watching what was going on rather than diving in and making drastic changes.”
