New Manager

No interviews lined up and the interim manager hasn't won a game in the 3 he has been in charge of.

He says its s clear improvement in the last 3 games also but in reality the only real shall we say improvement was tuesday night and yet i still feel some were too overly pleased on tuesday.

I just dont think limbrick is the answer but if fenty is giving him time then i suppose only time will tell.

Quoted from Ipswin

John Fenty sounded quite supportive and almost enthusiastic about Limbrick during his speech at todays AGM I thought

Think the one statement he made that got my attention was when he mentioned about the cloud being lifted since Jolley had done and that the "in-house" mood had improved immensely..slightly para phrasing there .
Makes you wonder what had really gone on behind the scenes and if we are only privy to the smallest of details..

It generally seems the rumours had substance. That's why although I wished for the Jolley to succeed, I think it beneficial all around that there was a parting of the ways when there was.

We clearly new we had a decent team in there hence the good start but Jolley messed it up with his constant tinkering and it appears that Limbrick is getting back to how we were so worth giving a little longer I feel.

My persona opinion reading between the lines...

Fenty won’t give the job to AL. But he’s happy to leave him there for another month or so. Why? He’s hoping Shutes finally gets his act together and then he can make the decision on the new manager himself. I imagine if Shutes hasn’t made progress within 2 weeks Fenty will reluctantly consider making an appointment around the time of the sCunthorpe game.

I wonder if Jolley will apply for the Arsenal job !!!

Depends if they are as easy to bullshit as we were

That's how I see it too, Golly.

Fenty isn't going to appoint a new manager when he's sort of in the middle of selling the club.  Any new buyer, be it Shutes or someone else, would no doubt be stipulating at this point to hold fire on a new appointment so they can bring in their new guy themselves.

Limbrick has got an extended interview as far as I can see.  It's his to lose.  

Of the names that have been banded about, I'm more inclined to just bury my head underneath the duvet and pretend this isn't happening.  Danny Wilson, really?!!?  Just need Gary Brabin and Martin Foyle to chuck their hats in the ring too.

There was a snippet on the radio earlier re JF saying that there has definately been an improvement under AL and he has earnt an extended run, interviews have not been scheduled as yet anyway and the supporters seem to be behind  AL so ...... seems like its his to lose.

i think in between the lines i read "cheapest and simplest option"  

very dangerous this ........performances improved initially under woods and look where that got us  

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Yes, whilst I agree with what you say, the one thing I would add is that those games were under Jolley who after a great start completely lost the plot and managed to knack it up...
Given that in 3 games under limbrick there's been a complete change in the way we've played, the chances created and the desire to fight to the end, plus a definite game plan and a formation you can actually see I personally think he's shown he's a worth giving a chance at getting us firing again.
It does seem to be the cheap option but could also turn out to be a master stroke....who knows??..

Regardless of that, his record is 1 point from a possible 9, not good enough for me.
