Quoted from jonnyboy82
I just have this horrible feeling it will be Wilkinson and if it is then I'm pretty sure we will be playing conference football next season.

But on a brighter note I will be £18 a week up because I won't step a foot in Blundell park if this happens.

Call me what you want but I couldn't possibly take anymore of this excrement.

Hope it's askey now I've depressed myself into oblivion.


I have every sympathy for your opinion and choice, but surely one game in charge is a bit harsh to come to that conclusion?

I didn't want to be too critical of Wilkinson ahead of the Cambridge match and was happy with the idea of him seeing us through to the end of the season, but his decision to broadly keep the same team, playing the same way and losing the match sort makes me believe that this appointment has to be someone with fresh ideas and totally external to the club.

If it's Askey, I think it's the board's intentions to (obviously) stay up and then build steadily next season. If Fenty wants his loans back he needs to find more Omar Bogles to sell and Askey might be that man from his time in non-league.

If we're not bringing through our own youth players then finding other rough diamonds is the only way to make money if we're just going to tread water in League 2 while we stabilise the club and rebuild a bit of balance (which I'd be happy with for long term gains).

I'd prefer it if we could bring through the likes of Clifton and Wright to sell on, but unless the new manager sees and believes in their potential it needs to come as a directive from the board.

You're far to logical mate shame our board isn't , same mistakes being repeated I'm afraid which will end in the same end result

Fair enough, but he does seem to be getting tarred with a very large Slade shaped brush.

Controversial, but I’ve heard a whisper that it won’t be Askey...

Well, he says there wasn't a problem between him & Slade and he clearly advised on some signings so I don't think that's as unfair as you make it sound.

Because it goes against what social media and local media outlets are speculating.
