Artell In.

After some of the threads on here recently I thought it would be good to have a more positive one about our manager.

The tranmere game was horrendous and I do think it is fair to question the lack of changes but overall I think we have looked much better under Artell.

I can see why he may rub people up the wrong way but I admire the honesty and belief that he puts across in interviews.

It may not work out but I think the next few years could be very interesting, in a good way. I liked Hurst but I feel that we have more chance of progressing under Artell than we did previously.

Jason and Andrew clearly believe him to be the best man for the job so let's get behind him and the team.

I'm waiting to see how he does and how the new signings get on.

Most of the DA critics seem to be fans who either didn't want him or seem frightened of having a progressive modern manager. They might not like his style or approach. I still remember when AB MK1 became manager and there was so much criticism from the fans. He was a non-league manager who signed non-league players ( Keith Alexander, Andy Tilson , John Cockrill) and was preparing the club for non- league football. How wrong they were!!! I think DA is in a similar position in as much as he has a vision of how we should play his style of football and will get in the players who can do that. We also have owners who believe in that and want a club to be self- sufficient and not dependent on a rich benefactor to constantly prop them club up. As DA said when he joined them club " It's an evolution, not a revolution".

Forgot to add that there are positives from playing out from the back but sometimes it is so obvious that it isn't the right time to do it, but we still try, which can be very fustrating. Hopefully the players are allowed to, and capable of, working it out.

Are you new around here?

Well I could take an early view on him taking us to equal 3rd from bottom if you want

I just have a feeling that if he can keep us up this season he will move us on to heights we haven't seen for a very long time, he sounds like the type of manager that respects and keeps his players believing in him, same as Hurst to be fair.

We'd never seen heights of an fa cup quarter final and a top half league 2 finish for many years.

Hurst was a safe pair of hands. Never won automatic promotion anywhere. Solid and safe, unlikely to get relegated with him. Artell could go either way, but I don't expect a succession of midtable finishes. Next game is a free hit.

Eh? We were relegated with him in charge and he had half a season to prevent it, and a complete overhaul of the playing squad which his MO.

He never had any intention that season to improve on what we had, with one or two better additions to bolster the squad but every time he just replaces one set of players for another.

He will always be remembered fondly but really he is quite a limited manager.
