New Manager

Quoted from GollyGTFC

OK. Limbrick has had 5 matches in charge and we've scored zero goals. We need to stop wasting time and appoint a new manager. Limbrick has proved he's part of the problem and not the solution.

You can't argue with this we just need the board to do something, the dallying is costing us.

For as much as there has been an improvement in our play it's not enough. Time to give someone else the reigns now, but I can't see the board acting on any of the applications, whilst we're not getting hammered and it looks like things are moving forward(even though in reality they aren't) those upstairs will give limbrick longer, plus, let's be honest, he's the cheap option!!

inertia means the same as progress for the board.

A point against a poor team is not enough.

I'm sure Calisle will be the most disappointed in not EVEN being able to beat US

I'd give the job to Robbie Stockdale tomorrow if he's genuinely interested - unless of course there's a better option on the table. I'd be surprised if there is though as I'm very doubtful that Tisdale will come due to location and I doubt we can tempt Holloway, Adkins or Higginbottom due to our financial restraints.

That only leaves Limbrick - or an up and coming manager. The jury must surely have reached an unanimous verdict on AL as despite an improvement, half a dozen games has yielded no goals, let alone a win.

I'd also rule out the latter option as for every Danny Cowley out there in NL  there's a  potential Marcus Bignot which is a gamble we cannot afford to take.

So unless there are other candidates that we're unaware of, I think we should crack on and offer the job to Robbie.

Some will undoubtedly point out that Stockdale has less managerial experience than the managers of Halifax or Barrow...but what he has over non league managers is extensive league contacts at Sunderland etc... which could transform our fortunes following the January transfer window.

That all said...I think I'm wasting my breath as we're not going to appoint a new manager with the Scunny coming up as the board will no doubt want a gentler introduction for the new gaffer.

If you'd give him the job would you get  Super Clive in to coach the strikers? Dean Crombie to sort the defense? Dis to "be around the club" Tony Rees to coach the back heels with Buckley in a Director of Football? We could even get Lawsey to do the catering.  

We're f******d at the moment, I'm not saying that Robbie is not an option but only if he's the best candidate and not just because he's played for the club.  

Then again looking at the mess any new manager would walk into maybe he is the only candidate.      

So bored of town right now.

Like what the actual flip is going on? Are we appointing fresh blood with fresh ideas or are we sticking with the no goals in 5 games part of the current problem right now?

Come on John for god sake.

Ian Culverhouse is doing an incredible job with Kings Lynn. I doubt many fans would be happy with an appointment from the National League North but that's the same level Shorty and Shouty joined from.

As for Limbrick, well, I was prepared to accept him as our permanent manager if he could get a win, stop the rot or get us creating more chances.

You could argue that he's done the latter, but quite honestly I think he's missed his chance now. Only a win over Scunny next week will restore his chances. It's important for the board that the fans are onside with the next appointment as home crowds are dwindling.

Can you imagine the response if we gave him the job after scoring zero goals in five games? I get that three or four of them have been against good sides for this level but, even so, five games is too long for him to argue that we're just being unlucky.

I think a team can be unlucky for two or three games but when it's five games it's a consistent theme.

All's not well at the club. It's AL's job to play it down but Hanson was by far and away the division's best player in August and he hasn't scored since then. It's a bit weird that a player's form drops off a cliff in that way. We looked a good team, and a good squad, to come away from Exeter with that win.

Again, form and results have dropped off a cliff since then. This lack of goals thing is as bad as I've known in my time of supporting the club (and scoring goals since returning to the league has been a constant source of pain).

I thought Culverhouse looked like a good bet but someone on here reminded me of the stuff he got caught up in at Villa,  

Today was a good performance and point taken in isolation, however I'd say anything but a win against Scunny now and he's toast. Gotta be. Fentys six game rule.
