Quoted from golfer
The next manager who comes in needs to be strong and show his authority. When he introduces himself his speech should be something like this-"You useless load of shite-and shut your mouth Macca,haven't won a match since the beginning of time.From now on every goal we concede there will be a £50 deduction from your wages  If we don't score another £50-and shut your mouth Macca. You will start work at 8-0clock and finish at 5. If it's raining you will be provided with oilskins. Everybody will have standard haircuts-none of this fancy Robbie Williams shite.And what colour are your boots-red,yellow,pink,green. You might play like women but you are not going to look like them. I hope we all get on-now back to work. 1 hour will be added on for this meeting so there will be no school run-and put those fking fags out.


It worked for John Sitton.

Quoted from sam gy
At this stage - why not? It’s not as if there’s a whole load of proven, successful managers queuing up to move here. It’s either gonna be someone who is past it, or someone unproven.

It’s not as if Stockdale is a club legend coming back with his reputation with us hanging in the balance....he played a handful of games before getting injured and was then youth team manager for a year or two.

He’s a well respected coach, a good age at 40....been in the prem and lower leagues and involved in a highly respected academy at Sunderland. And he wants it.

Just give him it, see what happens. If it’s crap we’ll get rid like we have done for the last few seasons.


And he has never managed an EFL club!  Or any other club for that matter.

Quoted from A.l.f.
It will be him as he's out of work isn't he?
I'm not convinced and not keen on Manager's being ex defenders as its not usually very exciting football.
I'm still baffled about how we created so many chances early season and looked so good.  Since Salford away Hanson has 2 men on him when the ball is pumped in the air and we haven't adapted, as if 2 are marking him, there must be space elsewhere to exploit teams.
We have been sucked of confidence and some fans have i'm sorry to say have contributed to this.  We had players confident on the ball early season and now the ball is like a hot potato.  We need someone experienced with a positive manner to lift the players and remind them how good we were in August.


The fans have contributed to it???????!!

Surely there must be some mistake.

This sort of argument always make me smile. What would you like the faithful to do on matchdays - pretend there has been a goal or cheer like mad when we get beyond the halfway line?

I notice Macca didn't like the tiny bit of flak he took from the odd person in the Pontoon the other day, yet these are the very people that pay his wages.

Human nature being what it is, fans will big up there team when it is doing well, and be very miffed when they are not.

As a whole we have been incredibly patient year after year of being served up absolute dross, with no end in sight.

This club has a mountain of problems, but the fans that go are certainly not one of them.

Neither had Mike Flynn at Newport or Nigel Adkins at Scunny. Adkins was the physio; didn't seem to hamper him.

He may be great, he may be another in the long line of failures. History suggests the latter as i think being a manger of this club is stymied by the way it's run. Thing is, you never know and there are no guarantees, unless you can afford the likes of Guardiola.

Seems as good a choice as any.

Everyone thought that was a fantastic idea not so long ago...

Can't get past this to be honest. Almost seems pointless.

Blaming the teams lack of confidence on the fans is like blaming the customers for the demise of Woolworths.
The customers stopped going because the products were poor and overpriced, and those who did go complained bitterly to the staff who lost confidence.
Like most failures it's down to poor leadership, poor strategy and poor execution

.


I think Macca believes he is totally bulletproof from any criticism and his place is guaranteed. Shame we haven't got a young up and coming keeper to push him

Well I stopped going to Woolworths when they started employing store detectives and I actually had to pay for my pick and mix 😉😉😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
