News reaches us that our favourite former son has been setting out the timescale of his latest promotion project to the good folk of Boston. Rather than build on last season when they fell at the final hurdle Cox has re-set the promotion clock and will be looking to consolidate for the next 2-3 years and strive to keep Boston at this level ahead of pushing on at some point past the middle of the current decade.
Having been stuck in "Conference North" for a generation following their Steve Evans, ahem, inspired spell in the Football League the Pilgrims faithful have greeted Cox's announcement with less enthusiasm than Paul would have hoped for.
Ernie Balderdash took time off from frisking his livestock to comment that, "I bet he didn't say this to the Board when he got the bloody job! And that Jordan Crawford looks funny...."
Long-time Boston fan, and part-time otter wrangler Gibberish McFlintlock added, "Madness! We can't wait three years to be roundly thrashed by the likes of Borehamwood and Bromley. And that Jordan Crawford runs like he's shat himself...."
Concerned fan Slimer Pasteface contributed, "Not only is the new ground further out of Boston than either me or any previous generation of my family have strayed from our mud hut, but I want guaranteed wins and promotion NOW, if not sooner. "And that Jordan Crawford, what the f*ck is that with his socks.....?"
But Cox's plan, backed up with performances expertly calibrated to ensure Boston don't accidentally achieve promotion ahead of schedule also has its backers. I*n C*lverhouse from Kings Lynn announced he was delighted with the job Paul was doing with the Pilgrims, telling us, "He's going great guns, and I won't stray too far from my telephone this Bank Holiday weekend. I've never really been bothered about Kettering Town FC, but, on this occasion, Come on you Poppies!"
