I have been working on this list and feel it meets the FL criteria. I have based the list off List of Aston Villa F.C. managers and List of Ipswich Town F.C. managers, one of which is a FL and the other is a FLC, which is in a good state. Thanks, Mattythewhite 16:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Support what a great template you used i must say ;) Everlast¹⁹¹⁰ 17:42, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Support good work. The Rambling Man 10:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Support Oppose for now. The Lead needs a bit of work.

• First off, it needs checked for spelling errors. "appoitned" sticks out at me.

 Done Checked through for errors. Mattythewhite 21:25, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• It needs some context in places. Relapse of what? What semi-final?: "their semi-final appearance the following season". Does this refer to the playoffs? If so, that sentence needs rewording slightly.

 Done Can't find the information for what the relaspe was of, so I've removed it. I've explained what the semi-final appearance was for. Mattythewhite 21:25, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• The last sentence is awfully clunky. Could it not be rewritten to something like this: The 2004–05 season was York's first in the Conference National and they had three different managers during the season. The third manager, Billy McEwan is the current incumbent.

 Done Rewritten. Mattythewhite 21:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• More optional. In Honours, could you not list those managers who were promoted, be that through playoffs or league runners up. I understand this could get messy though if one manager were to "see-saw" a bit, promoted, relegated, promoted etc which is why it is entirely optional.

I've decided to only include honours which were won, to keep consistency with List of Aston Villa F.C. managers and List of Ipswich Town F.C. managers, which are featured lists. Mattythewhite 21:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Always said it was optional, so no biggy. Just trying to populate that rather bare cloumn you got there. By the way it does not have to precisely mimic the Villa one. (I know it was featured because i jointly nommed it.) There was a suggestion at the time about putting in relegated as well. I have to say i am currently ambivalent about it though. It would be good from a neutral point of view, on the other hand it would clog up the table if you had to list every promotion. For Villa it would be easy - they have only been relegated 5 times.(and then the manager got sacked and the next one got them promoted). For lower League clubs i accept that it could get messy. Good work overall though. Woodym555 21:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Looks good - only comment is I would have a wikilink back to the main York City article in the lead rather than leave it to the navbox at the end of the list. Keith D 22:40, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a wikilink in the first paragraph. Mattythewhite 22:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Support Is the Honours column with just one entry really necessary, though? It can be footnoted.--Crzycheetah 04:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It could be, but I'd like to keep consistency with the other FL's. Because, if this becomes footnoted, then what is the limit? Another list may have three, but there might be a big despute as to whether that should be in the honours list or footnoted, so I feel they may as well all be in the same place..
