The? wouId Pbably lie better off with Lloyd in the middle But who knows? Carey may yet come back to the family where he will be made really welcome, as welcome as he was during a playing career of 17 years with Manchester United, a career almost unparalleled in the history of that club and in which he won just about every honour there was going. Three years ago, and for no apparent reason, I asked him at Nottingham if he had ever thought of returning to Old Trafford. "No comment at he grinned.

"In any case it's manners to wait until you're asked." A hunch I have no more evidence for believing that Carey will ever take up some sort of administrative post with United than have the thousands of his admirers who were discussing his fate and his future in the taverns of England last night. Call it a hunch. With Sir Matt Busby on European Cup business in Switzer By DAVID GRAY regard registered players as amateurs.

We are well and trulv for Drize monev." said Major Mills. The professionals, who grumbled last time because Wimbledon asked them to stake their reputations for compara- twely small rewards, may pot entirely agree with him, particu- larly as tte clu1 expect an increase in revenue next year of 25,000 because they have put up the price of seats by 2s 6d and standing room by Is 6d. Major Mills says that the bulk of this money is required to meet the sharp increase in the cost of -staging the tournament and the All-England Club have probably been made additionally cautious by the fact that the first Open Wimbledon, affected by a rail strike and the worst weather for years, resulted in a severe drop in profits. Even so. the players may still feel themselves hard done by Wimbledon is the toughest of all tournaments to win and the game's greatest spectacle.

It ought also to offer, the highest prizes. Certainly, it is lucky that the Club have some financial elbow room. Their tournament is still by far the cheapest of the great tournaments the entrance "PERSONALLY I don't think IT there is a nicer fellow in football. He is one of -Nature's gentlemen. In my book he is one of the greatest administrators in the game." With this valediction, which probably was meant to be a reference as well, Mr A.

Wood, chairman of Nottingham Forest, announced that Mr J. J. Carey, the club's manager, had been asked to relinquish his position forthwith and this he had readily agreed to do. We think the time has come for a change. Things are not going right for the club at the moment, although there have been a chapter of circumstances.

We shall advertise for a new manager. In the meantime the assistant manager, Mr Bill Anderson, will take over," continued the statement. To which I imagine most people will say: "And the best of luck, Bill Anderson," It cannot be pleasant these days being even a caretaker knowing 'that 689 managers already have seen uprooted since the war. What a demand How far Carey is responsible for "things not going right" with Forest has not been specified. It is doubtful, however, whether he will be blamed for the fire which destroyed the main stand earlier 1 this season.

The failure of Jim Baxter to justify the 100,000 Forest paid Sunderland for his services, and the fact that Forest's only League win this season was atj West Bromwich on September 7 they have, in fact, collected only 11 points trom i matcnes proD-ably 'sounded Carey's death knell. Integrity, respect, and a wonderful personal reputation are nothing like enough for a manager to survive these days. Success or out. That is the ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL fee at Forest Hills on finals day was more than 3 at some future date they will be able to ask television for more money as the game spreads across the world and the demand for overseas pre- sentation increases and thev can also call on commerce for dis- creet aid. There will be one other major change next year.

The pro- gramme for the second week is being rearranged in order that the men's singles final which ought, in any case, to be the climax of the championships can be held on the Saturday instead of on the Friday as it has been since 1U32. Before that it seems to have been held on whichever of the two last days was the more convenient. The women's singles and the men's doubles finals will be moved to the Friday and the Saturday pro- gramme will also include tne women's doubles and the mixed finals.

What a demand And how many have a hope of meeting it? Carey's reaction was that of hundreds like him in this most insecure of all football posts "shocked and disappointed." But this is not the first time in his career that he has experienced these emotions. He was not too happy in his first managerial post at Ewood Park, although he still managed to take Blackburn Rovers into the First Division. He moved to Everton in October, 1958, and at the annual general meeting of that club in June, I960, the retiring chairman, Mr Fred Micklesfield, expressed his confidence in Everton's future coupled with the name of Mr Carey. Later that year Dave Hickson, an Everton player of some repute, wrote in a newspaper that Everton was a very happy family." Within three months, Hickson had parted company with this happy family, and in April, 1961, Carey was given his cards with two and a half years of his contract still to run. Questionable sentiment From Everton, Carey went to Leyton Orient and took them to the First Division in 1962.

Thev were relegated the following season and Carey moved on to Forest In 1965, Forest celebrated their centenary and a handbook was produced as part ciud is, ana always has Been, a familv club." and there has been, throughout the long existence of the club, a most happy family spirit." Carey read those words in the booklet, wondered where he had heard something like them before, and waited for the axe to fall. recommendations we want to make a detailed examination again of the position regarding profes sionals ana amateurs football.

The Chester report subsenuently commented: "We think that English football will have to move in the direction of. having more leagues gnu cuuipeuuuns open to both amateur and professional clubs to include amateurs and what may be termed 'semi- professionals." The Chester renort also sue- eested a cateeorv of nlaver which could be called either semi-professional or a "Form player.

Villa move for funds The board of Aston Villa intend to form anotiher company to provide the club, who are struggling at the bottom of the Second Diivisdon, with a new financial basis. A statement issued by the board last night said: "The intention is to form a new company with capital to be subscribed by the general public to acquire the existing share capital of the present company, and to provide the club with substantial fresh funds." There has been a number of reports of people interested in taking over the affairs of the club, including the Atlanta Baseball Com oration of the United States. Local business men have also indicated that they would like to take charge.

He visited South Africa in 1964-5 and the West Indies last winter. He also went to Pakistan with the under-25 party in 1967. The inclusion of Hobbs brings the parry for the short tour to. 15. He will be the only replacement for batsmen Een Barrington and Geoff Boycott; both of whom withdrew for medical reasons, but Colin Milburn, of Northamtonshire, who is now playing for Western Australia, has been asked if be would be available should a batting replacement be necessary during the tour.

In July this resulted, much to the chagrin of the professionals, in a saving of about half the money at stake.

But then, soon after the tea interval, Fredericks and Davis were both bowled in the same over and defeat was stiu a possibility, nut Butcher, after being dropped, then took charge and at the close the West Indies were 423 for nine in their second innings having been 271 behind on the first. The most crucial dropped catch came soon after the start when Fredericks, who was then six, tried to on-drive auisen. a ies sninner, who had a long spell hefnrp lunch, did not move his feet, and Lucas badly misjudged quite an easy cnance ai miu-un.

Third life Fredericks's third chance came at 107 when he reached forward to Morgan and was dropped behind the wicket. Meanwhile Surti had missed a half-chance at backward short leg when Lloyd (6) tried to turn Paulsen with the spin. Finally, in the over after Fredericks and Davis were out, Allan dropped a fairly simple catch at first slip when Butcher was 69. The West Indians were there-, fore lucky to get away with it, but even so they can get some cheer from the day's play, especially after the way they had performed on the first three. For an hour and a half this morn ing Lloyd played well enough to suggest that he really is on the way nacK xo rorm ana ue wm probably now play in the first Test match which starts here on Friday.

His fielding is a great asset to the side and although he is as fallible against lee spin as anyone the lack of alternatives leave the way almost clear for him. The onlalternaUve would uc yfsu Fredencks and to leave Nurse in the middle order, but although Fredericks is still improving fast Plan to make up for time lost in Tests The new Test and County Cricket Board, which meets at Lord's next1 Monday, is to consider a report from the cricket subcommittee, who have been discussing whether it is possible to compensate for time lost because of bad weather in Test matches. In last summer's Test series of five matches, against Australia, the equivalent of over a whole Test was lost because of rain. The subcommittee will probably have considered whether the 30 hours of a Test should be spread over six days instead of five. The board, which incorporates the old Advisory County Cricket Committee, has 11 subcommittees under its control and will be hearing reports from all of them at the meeting.

The cricket subcommittee will also put forward its views on who should be responsible for deciding whether the pitch and the light is fit for play. More responsibility may he given to tne umpires on this issue. By way of compensation, the umpires subcommittee is expected to propose an increase in umpires' salaries. The Gillette and other competitions subcommittee has been working on the structure of the new Players' Sunday League, and the board will be deciding upon such matters as hours of play and points. Among others to report are the pitches subcommittee and the registration subcommittee, who have been trying to clarify, the position regarding the overseas piayers who have come into county cricket, and where thev stand when their country is touring here.
