Thanks but no thanks. Far too negative and players don't understand him.

It's inconceivable that the Wilkinson rumour is true. I can't think of one plausible reason why JF would give him the job now rather than just let him carry on and see how it goes.
Also have doubt about the Askey story as there isn't a single rumour on their forums, and it would have to be in the public domain if true. Think Bignot, everyone knew and it was the worst kept secret ever.
I think JF knows how deeply we're in trouble and he needs to pull something out of the hat fairly quickly. It cannot be Paul Wilkinson unless he wins his next three games but realistically that's no going to happen.

I assume it's a majoity board decision so if it turns out to be Wilko then at least 3 people would have to be immediately sectioned under the 1983 Mental Health Act

If Wilkie agrees to take the job it will only prove he is not fit to do it.

It may be wrong to bow to outside pressure but JF must surely understand that to offer the job to Paul is unfair given the attitude of so many supporters who tag him with Slade and would never give him a fair chance to be his own man. So the regime starts on a negative straightaway.

It has to be an outsider to look at the squad with fresh eyes, have no favourites and pick and play to win points regardless of entertainment value.

I don't think Wilko will be given the job but if he is, then that will be the end for me and John Fenty FC.

Think about it Slade was quick and with no known other applicants involved, surely we won't make that mistake again, unless it's Brown we all know his due diligence and should have some of big Sam's rubbed off survival instincts.
Dave M can educate him on players, if anyone knows them it will be Dave

Exactly this. He (Fenty) would be making the same mistake as when he appointed Slade again - why risk putting someone in charge who in some fans eyes is tainted?

This is a very difficult appointment - as Ron says we need an outsider who knows his stuff, yet will our first choice(s) put their reputation on the line in what is effectively a 12 game relegation battle? Troubling times, but once again the board have cocked up big time and are fighting fires yet again.
