Quoted from HerveJosse


It’s not as simple as that though is it they coukd sack him pay the compo and still get relegated . With this set of clubs layers that remains a strong possibility .
They could keep him scrape half a dozen more points and rely on the bottom two failing to get enough points to overhaul us .
The spreadsheets will be working overtime


The other factor leaning towards sacking him even if he somehow managed to keep us up is the irreparable damage that's likely occurred on season ticket sales nomatter what division we are in. Its a tarnished brand.

It's lose lose in monetary terms, however rolling the dice has a greater potential for upside.

JS loves spouting his views now we actually need to hear from him it's deafening silence. Ffs grow a pair admit you made a mistake and rectify it today. The fans will vote with there feet BP will have plenty of empty seats till Season end unless the board act.What on earth are they waiting for?

You'd hope so but don't forget we approached him so you would expect favourable terms. Given the previous manager was sacked it would seem unlikely to have any clauses so early. Maybe there is a release clause for relegation. Too little too late though.


My fears too - to get rid would be costly and they can only dodge that cost if we get relegated, but that would cost vastly more in itself. Between a rock and a hard place. Personally I think we just have to bite the bullet, admit he's been a disaster, use the conteh money to pay off Artell and probably go back to Shaun and Ben in the short term. If they do ok we stick, if not then more money for somebody like Adams or Flynn. And pray we don't go down and then reassess in the summer.

Sickening but least worst option.

That's getting close to something from the Fenty playbook. We won't be told by social media what to do.

Bold choice. I think it could be delaying the inevitable for a week or two. I'd have had the girl private gone.

Since almost day 1 he's been like a better spoken version of Fenty. He literally complained about a fan in his interview after the first game we played under them. The good will got him away with it, but that's well and truly gone now.

Even Fenty had the stones to sack a very expensive mistake in Bignot before it was too late. The money tap has been turned off, there's no other explanation.

I've had enough of Stockwood and his BS you're right he's just a more intelligent version of Fenty but without the brass neck to face up to the fans Get your wallet out and get us in a proper Manager you've dropped a huge bollock now admit it.
