No they can’t. And I’m sure they don’t. Only question is - do they act decisively now (no real sign they are about to), or wait for another defeat with the clock ticking down and the risk of an even bigger supporter conflagration and desertion.

Totally agree, and in a way, I don’t think the Morecambe result is relevant because we’re only one more home capitulation away from a further meltdown.

The issue you will have is that if you want a new manager, it is a really awkward time to come in with what 15 games to go. People like Appleton need time, he has had a bad time since he left us, but did have us playing good football, but he was blessed with good loan players.
You need someone to come in, organise, have a playing style that is going to get you 5-6 wins - I would be looking at an experienced fire - fighting type of manager, that will put aside everything to keep you in the league.
I would at all costs avoid going with your previous two that took charge when Hurst left - Personally if they have anything about them they should be challenging Artell as part of their role, playing the critical friend - If they are not doing this they are part of the problem.
I would offer 100k to Duff until the end of the season - He does well, enjoys it, then he may well stay and he is a good manager.

Precisely.

Michael Duff - though not sure we'd be able to persuade him
Ironically the Swansea fans were on Duff's back from the start and he was sacked after just twenty-one matches. Given time I'm sure he'd have done a good job there. And if 21 is far too few to judge on!!!

As a long-suffering Town fan, I fully expect us to hold out for a battling draw against Morecambe to raise our hopes ahead of the FGR game...

When Artell goes who do we want next. Would anyone want to come here in our position. I think we need an experienced manager a Steve Evans, Mick McCarthy no nonsense manager who knock some sense into our shambles.
No one will come if they read this forum.

This in spades, we need a real experienced hand with a simple back to basics approach. No more poundshop-pep approach just grit and dig deep. I'd be super pleased if they threw money at someone to come on board for just 6 months.

Due to a crappy / corrupt HR, I am free. My coaching experience extends to primary Vietnamese students. If I can get them to pass and move, I feel I can do anything.
I might not be on to see replies as I need to work out my next moves. Will still be watching on Saturdays. In fact, as I have no work tomorrow, I could stay up for the Morecambe game.
