I agree rancido. It felt like he was testing players adaptability, and what their comfort zones were. People obviously didn't like It,  but I do think there was some logic behind it, if he was intending to play attacking football next year.

He's said he wouldn't have changed so much if he didn't think he had time at the club. Think he's been let down myself.

I agree. I think he was a genuine guy.

Having had some time to think it over more, and reading the story in the Telegraph this morning.. it's just left me feeling more confused. His thoughts about the situation seem in line with my own.. he thought he had more time to get the time right, thought he was playing for a 'safe' finish this season despite being forced to part with the star striker - which has been accomplished.

Unless the management have managed to line up a stellar replacement, I just think this was a terrible mistake to make and I can't understand the thought process, at this point in the season to be honest.

A couple of points occur to me. At the recent forum, someone asked JF how well do you think Marcus is doing? A question he dodged by saying you had better ask Marcus. Then we got a waffly embarrassed answer from mMarcus.
Secondly, if there has been a revolt by senior players who might they be? If the group includes Disley, Maceown, Macallister, Gowling, Berrett, Davis, all of whom might be a bit pee'd off,  then they can all go as far as I am concerned. Good servants some of them, but only Macca likely to get a league club, we can do better looking to the future.

He completely should have been made aware of expectations by the board. But it's also massively naive of him to expect to be able to start pre season in January. If the rumours are true about the training sessions then the club have done the right thing.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56
Players not in the first team will always have gripes with the Manager that is normal within most clubs but it is the Managers job to handle this and players will normally, if reluctantly, accept their lot if given legitimate professional reasons behind team selections.

To be honest, like many posters and town fans in general, I was happy with MB's appointment, was happy to learn of his plans to develop the club as a whole in order to improve the first team, was prepared to be patient and wait a couple of seasons to see his plans hopefully bear fruit. I also said in a post last week that I was starting to get a feeling in my stomach all was not well. I believe I have seen all but one of MB's home games and the odd away match and looking back the best performance IMO was in that very first match v Barnet where he made positive substitutions which indicated he would not mind losing trying to win. That optimism has gradually faded away and whilst there have been some decent performances Carlisle & Mansfield in particular there has been far too many games when we appeared to have no shape or game plan whatsover.

Also his continual tinkering, whilst failing to once play McAllister, has been a matter for concern which has clearly impacted upon the players hence the "rebellion". I think we all wanted him to succeed, I do not buy into this cheap option from the conference theme (which would exclude the Cowleys from consideration, not thay they would be interested) but deep down from early March when there were no signs of a plan emerging I think I knew this would end badly.

Never met the guy or worked for him so comments from myself are based on gut instinct but I do feel he is someone who will be a success at some stage in the future and maybe this sacking, whilst possibly premature, may actually make him address his own weaknesses and he will ultimately be better for it. I hope so and now prepare for what appears to be the return of Slade. Would not be my choice but if he comes back I hope he succeeds and I also hope he also puts in place some of those infrastructure improvements that MB has mentioned are much needed.


excellent summation

Out of interest did he ever move to the area?

That was a load of balderdash too then! Thought he had "fallen in love with this town"?.
