Would any manager worth his salt want to be a “panic” signing? If you are going down that road then hire a firefighter for just the 12 games and go on from there with a proper appointment.

But it has not come to that yet. If there is someone out there in two minds about the job, knowing the fans are in volatile appointment fever mode is not going to help. A week of relative calm and less hyper-activity might be just what we need in the long run to take the pressure off everyone concerning Saturday’s result. Tension breeds fear on the field as well.

I think the statement says that Bentley doesn't have a clue and the GET are stupid for reading it and then printing rubbish. We can't comment on individuals for obvious reasons but we thought it was worth letting you know it won't be today.
Perfectly reasonable given the wild speculation (fact from one poster)

Quoted from GrimRob


We're not going down this year. The chance is so slim I'd rather they took their time. We can't get any new players until the season ends. That's when the job starts.


Spot on Rob The new man needs to come in in May - there is no rush. All this relegation stuff is nonsense, it ain't gonna happen.(and who is to say a new man now appointed in haste would be able to turn it around given the current squad anyway)

I think the new man needs to come in a little sooner than that. Assess what we have (not a bloody lot) and then assess what we need and put plans in place to get those players.

Think the club are perfectly correct to make a holding statement.
The frenzy about Phil brown and Arthur askey is not helpful and sometimes it takes time to get to a position to get a new manager on board.
Most of us have no knowledge of the number, quality or cost of the applicants and people being sounded out.
Without that information we should sit tight and support the interim manager.

Not at all mate I have never for a moment thought we might be relegated and those running around wailing that we might are driving me mad

I say wait until May as there will be a number of top 8 managers from the Conference who, having performed very well but suffering the agony of just missing out on promotion, might well want to move up to the Football League - if Fenty is determined to go for an up and coming chap (there will be a lot of FL established managers available too but of course they will be the failed and sacked brigade but amongst them I have no doubt will be a couple of good 'uns whose experience could well bring something and through their contacts, a few decent players to BP)

There is a good chance Fenty will intercourse up again anyway but if he appoints someone in a blind panic its even more likely
