Troy Deeney sacked

I wonder what the scotch eggs are like .

Dale Vince on Talksport just now, talking about Deeney. Transpires that he signed in the summer as player coach with the agreement that he would be the next manager at the club. Vince had assumed this would be “2 or 3 years down the line”.

Stupendously moronic and naive on his part. He inferred he was left with no choice to part company after a combination of his public slagging off of his players and his 4 match ban for abusing the officials in their recent game against Swindon, but anyone with any knowledge of Deeney would have been able to see that coming.

They deserve to go down with that kind of thinking running the club.

The problem is that Vince is perfectly capable of splashing the cash to keep them up. It is after all a one man vanity project which must have cost him millions over recent years so why wouldn't he spend big to avoid the drop into the NL. I don't think we can rely on them staying in the bottom two. Salford and Colchester could well ensure survival too.

If we are to survive we need to sort out our back 4 and start winning games to reach the safety of mid table.

Imagine being the manager and trying to motivate the team, whilst one of your players has it stipulated in his contract that he is guaranteed to replace you as manager.

I suspect that Dale Vince made this decision to insert the clause on his own, because multiple people can't make a decision that incompetent surely?

How far is FGR from Bristol? There is a well known unemployed ex manager living there I believe....

I don't think there's any guarantee's as to who will stay in the bottom two or get dragged into it.  But I'm pretty sure we don't need to worry about us getting caught.

I can only ask again, what have you seen in the last two months that makes you think we're in danger?

You know, I quite like Vince and I think he talks a lot of sense.  I've never quite got the ill-feeling towards him but there you go.  But that's one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time.

Since taking over at FGR in 2010 and up to the point of Deeney signing he had seen 8 managers leave the club, not even counting Hannah Dingley's interim role for a matter of days.   That's a rough turnover of a new manager ever year and a half.  Since Mark Cooper left in April '21 he went through an additional four managers, just over half a year each.  Fair enough Rob Edwards and Ian Burchnall were both poached after a year, but that's another indication that managers don't last.  If they're not successful they get sacked, if they are successful they get poached.

David Horseman was appointed last summer with no managerial experience other than Southampton's B Team, did he really think he would last 2 years?

Veggie fans seem to be keen on Michael Flynn, available and based in the general area. I’m not sure he’d particularly need that on his CV right now either, so I think they might well have a tough time finding someone credible.

Flynn's an interesting shout, especially in this situation.  He's a bit Lee Johnson like for me, streaky.  Equally as capable of going on good runs as he is of bad runs.  Sorta like Michael Jolley with his 10 points from 12/3 points from 27 runs, just on a larger scale.  If you get the right rub of the run with him, FGR are laughing towards safety.

Swindon is a bit of a basketcase but with some of the players at his disposal you could argue he should have done better.  Didn't do great at Walsall and his run at the end was abysmal.  Walked away at Newport, failed at Walsall and Swindon.  Probably in last chance saloon at this level, might not need it on his CV but can't see many others kicking the door down.
