I dont think on refletion that the club should gamble on a manager without experience at or above leagfue 2.
Why should we put the club at further risk, it is already in a dangerous position, ballanced on the edge of the Vanaramma cliff!
Go with experience and get some stability and good football to give the supporters some faith in our great club!
Unfortunately for Fenty that might not be the cheap option so we will have to see.

One good thing is that manager of the Tilted Barrel who once applied for the Town job, seems to have dissapeered.

Everyone is a gamble.

Go for experience? Like Russell Slade perhaps.

The thing is there is no magic wand

Any Managerial appointment is a gamble, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Whoever gets the job is going to have to attract a number of good quality players to the club, something that Slade struggled to do.

Buckley I, Hurst and Slade I were all successful coming from non-league. Bignott might well have been given more time, he didn't really fail as such. Personally I'd rather an up and coming manager than a failed has-been.

Whoever comes in needs to bring a broom have a clean sweep and then impose a proper footballing philosophy a blueprint for GTFC going forward and it must include recruitment and development of local players at the heart of it. Nearly all Town fans would buy into that even if it meant a few years of cutting cloth to enable the build. Now having said all that firstly we need to ensure League 2 football is being played here come August so this is not a straight forward appointment. I think we should try and get over the line with an interim boss short term then the minute the Season ends do a proper recruitment and get in the right body the best available candidate at whatever the cost.JF speaks about footballing fortune and that can come in many different ways how good would it be to sell a couple of homegrown Omar Bogle`s and have a cup run to boost the coffers.Do your homework John and get a football man like Buckley on board to help oversee and actually listen to his advice.UTM

Beware another Bignot.
Beware another Slade. The list could go on, we just have to hope the person who gets the job can do a job. UTM

Its a temptation because its a name, does not always work though look at Dave Jones at Hartlepool it can be a costly failure, I would not want to do the choosing as everyone thinks differently.
Common sense is we see what Wilki can do, and then panic
