Give Pearson and Davies the job

I’d give it to SP and BD and tell Artell to stay at home for rest of season.

I would have a clear out of everybody including stats guy.
Pearson and Davies are more of the same and an easy touch for our lazy players.
Get a full new back room team in kick some behind and get them playing.

It’s a good job nobody takes you seriously then you muppet. As if any sane person would conclude that the thing to do now would be to dismiss half a dozen people leaving no managerial or professional coaching staff and a recruitment challenge that was off the scale.
Yeah let’s go into the next run of crucial matches with nobody in charge, but then get six people in, including a manager, assistant, a couple of coaches, a goalkeeper coach and other ancillary or analyst/admin staff, just like that. You melt.

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

We need a proper experienced manager in sorry no expense spared at this point, its got to be fast and likely expensive to get a tune out of these misfits

Where do you think managers come from , there isn't a cupboard marked "MANAGERS" somewhere. They all start at the bottom ,some make it and some don't, but they have to be given the opportunity. Shaun and Ben made a good start and D.As best results came on the end of their tenure ,when i assume they would still have a significant input to the team and set-up. In the more recent games when you would imagine D.A. has implemented more of his own ideas we've nosedived. Throwing money at something doesn't guarantee success, neither does a "NAME "manager e.g. Hollowhead. It's always the same , right man, right place, right time. e.g. Sir Alan.    U.T.M.

We have a full managerial set up now and it’s useless can it get any worse.
We have the worst managerial team in the whole of England and Wales that is evident.

I’m sick to the back teeth of my club being taken advantage of by charlatan managers. All the effort that previous players, managers, staff and fans put in is all going to excrement. Thanks a lot Artell.

For me it’s the only option. Obviously in an ideal world you’d like to recruit someone and bring them in. However we have to look at where we are and the circumstances we find ourselves in.

I’ve been thinking the last few days, is the decent (relatively speaking) start Artell had more to do with Ben and Shaun than him?

When they took over they did a bloody good job in stopping the rot and I’d argue had a very successful spell when considering what had gone before.

They went 5 unbeaten taking 5 points from 9 in the league. When Artell came in he enjoyed a few decent away points and a home win early on. After that - nothing much else and things started to get worse.

The last 18 look like this (all comps):

9 games after Hurst - 3 wins, 5 draws, 1 defeat. Scored: 18 Conceded: 13 (Ben and Shaun - 5 games, 2 wins and 3 draws)

9 games after that - 1 win, 2 draws, 6 defeats. Scored: 13 Conceded: 25

The team is obviously going backwards and getting worse the longer this goes on. Seemingly the longer Artell has with them the worse we get. Is the drop off due to having ‘more Artell’?

As I said it isn’t ideal. However if you asked me who I trusted to get us out of this out of those options available. Shaun and Ben win hands down.

Two of them against a team of part timers.  They have both been part of the backroom staff for the whole of this time from when things started going wrong, they have to take some of the blame too.  Putting inexperienced people in as managers when we are in this position is one hell of a risk.  We need an experienced manager who knows League Two.

Do you have any opinions of your own or just happy contradicting and/or questioning other posters contributions? Come on tell us if you want Artell to stay or if not who should replace him?

Do you have any suggestions BAWB? That’s not a dig but we have an experienced manager who knows league 2. In the words of David Brentell himself he’s won manager of the year and been promoted from this division. That hasn’t worked too well.
Every appointment is a risk. Shaun and Ben seem less of a risk than keeping him.
As I mentioned on another thread the best town team I’ve seen were managed by Dave Booth who was promoted from within and had no experience.
I would also hope the owners didn’t put all their eggs in one basket with Artell and built dossiers and interviewed other potential managers when PH left.
