Give Pearson and Davies the job

Quoted from 123614

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.

Graham Flynn at Newport was promoted from coach to caretaker manager at Newport, with them 11 points adrift at the bottom of league 2, and he kept them up, and eventually getting them to the play offs and a great cup run.

Adkins went from Physio to caretaker at Scunny, and guided them to promotions.

Just two examples of untried and inexperienced managers that came from inside the club. It can and does work, but I'm also sure there are many that didn't work.

Point is that you never know what will happen. We have already tried a new manager with experience of League 2 replacing PH this season and he has made us worse.

I’d prefer someone who knows our players and knows the issues we have, where the problems lay etc.

Ben and Shaun arrested a run of 9 games with 4 point and got 5 points out of 3 league games straight away… We’d take that sort of return now, all day long.

Coaches in backroom staffs do as they’re told. They instantly changed our style and instantly got results. We’re getting battered every week at the minute. If Artell says “this is how we’re playing and how we’re setting up” then that’s what they have to do..

I don’t mind who at this point and I’m not against Shaun and Ben, but isn’t the problem that we’re just shite other than Danny Rose? Shouldn’t take long to work out.

Give it to Shaun and Ben, it's almost spring so I'm Dave will be able to keep himself busy with a spot of gardening. Get a couple of free agents in to lift standards and get back to basics.

If we lose again next week, what happens? At least if we do lose next week, he can stop trying to gaslight us with this myth that our away form is good. But what happens? Maybe the thinking is if they sack him next week, he hasn't got far to travel back home. That is part of why they sacked Hurst at full time after Doncaster away.

Good point. Artell won League 2 in 2019-20 which was 4 seasons ago. 6 teams exit League 2 every year. There have been 4 seasons completed since he last competed in League 2, which means 24 teams have left it, the same number of teams in it! As it happens quite a few teams have been up and down (like Crewe) or down and up (like us). But very few teams are comparable to the one he faced when he last managed at this level. Not to mention rule changes (e.g. 5 subs).

If Artell had any honour he would resign now. But as this is probably his last shot at an EFL management role I'm guessing he'll hang on to the bitter end if only for his compo. He says he's good at developing youth players so I'd tell him he's assisting Woods with the youth team until the end of this season or doing some scouting while SP and BD look after the first team. If that hurts his pride and causes him any embarrassment then tough as it just reflects what he's inflicted on us fans over the last few weeks. The constant laughter and jeering from the away end is soul-destroying. The guy has annoyed me from off and I can't watch my club under his management any longer. It's me or him and I think Jason has just told us today that it's me being negative. I suppose I'm the cheaper option as they have already banked my season ticket money. So thanks for the memories.

His Meh comment about the club is just laughable now . What a co.ck

Thing is that he wasn't wrong - however, there was no remit to make us 'meh-rer'.
