Does he not get the credit for changing the style then?


Well actually - no, he doesn't. I think it's fairly common knowledge that the change of style wasn't his idea!

Quoted from GYinScuntland

It is indeed 1000/1 and I tried to lump a fiver on but it said a trader had to review the bet.
In the end £1 was accepted and £4 declined so I don't know what to make of that.

I tried to put £5 on and got a message that the bet limit was 25p. So instead of £5,005 if Town went down it would be £125.25

I went to BetFred and they had Town at 1000 - 1 as well. I was able to place a bet of £1.25. So if Town went down I will get £1,251.25

Obviously, I want to lose this bet.

Deserved to be red crossed for this so fire away.

All put £1.25 on, then if the worst thing happens we can give whoever a war chest of £45,000,000 to buy Bogle and Bennett.

So where is your proof that the change was forced on him by the players? The meeting was a collective between DA , players, coaching staff and quite possibly the owners. These " barnstorming " meetings bring out all sorts of issues and a realisation that if something is wrong then what can we , as a group, do to correct it. You, apparently, don't want DA as our manager and you are taking a biased view on what was said in a meeting that you did not attend or have a transcript on what was said.

You could say the same about most comments on this site.

I was told by a member of staff.

Yes I don't want Artell as manager.

Because the team have performed well in a handful of games makes the season worse in one way.  They can reach these standards, but for x reasons have not done so in the vast majority of games.

Why can we not play well in two games on the trot.?

Well the players have one more chance to put things right and save our season from disaster to just disappointing .

The home fans deserve a big win after two seasons of dross.

The rest of us can go into the summer months with a little smile on our faces after finishing with a win at Crawley.

Next season needs to be better much better so another handful of players needed ( 5 ) at least..

Keeper . Full back. Midfield. Winger. Striker.

Good luck in finding them Dave.

My understanding is that the change of style was forced upon him by the players, it wasn't his choice to change style and who are all these better players, we are still as excrement as before he became manager, in fact I would say we are worse.

He has to go whether we stay up or go down.

Of course it was down to the players that we changed the style, the players pick the team and the tactics don’t they. Or is that just a comment made to suit the agenda you have towards Artell because he’s not your cup of tea.

Summer recruitment is the reason for the mess we find ourselves in. Although DA didn’t help himself at the start, he deserves credit for changing our fortunes (to an extent). We are nearly over the line let’s get over the line, from there we can have a mass exodus in the summer. The permanent transfers we made in January have been good, which gives me hope that the recruitment in the summer will be better than it was last summer under Hurst.

FFS, as I said, I was told by a member of staff.

Do you have excrement for brains or just can't read?

Great, another member if staff telling all and sundry what goes on behind closed doors!!..I'm sure the tea lady knows all the inner workings of GTFC!..
No need to be quite so vociferous was there?..every time your questioned you get on your high horse like you know best...well guess flipping what, you don't!..

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC

So what you mean is you've took the fact they had a meeting after Doncaster and came up with a balderdash rumour? And the better players are the two standouts in the side... Thompson and Tharme. The problems consistently are the players Hurst brought to the football club not being good enough to string two decent performances together. You're quick enough to slag him off after a poor performance but yet we've been on a good run but don't want to give him any credit for it? Laughable

The fact that DA + Others had a meeting and changed direction, from the direction that DA set them on from the PH direction, meant it wasn't working.
I have said from the outset that DA was the wrong Manager at the wrong time, not that I have anything against him on a personal level, its just that he hadn't enough mileage in saving clubs, and he had been out of football for 18 months, and we needed someone who still had mud on his boots from the last job. He made mistakes while getting acclimatised back into football, which we are suffering from.
However the January newbies are a bit better, but as this forum cannot make its mind up who actually has the final say in recruiting, that's either down to DA or some background figure. So basically I don't know. Nobody knows.
What I do know is that DA and his helpers cannot seem to instill the basics of football. If a team is poor in passing, corner kicks, freekicks, heading  and throwing, there's not much left is there? If DA stays, and his little helpers, what makes anyone think its going to be better next season, always assuming Crawley or MKDons do us a favour, or we get something out of Swindon or Crawley and we stay in the League?    Up The Bleeding Mariners
