How long is 'transition'?

i think transition should be no more than 10 games if things are not improving by then it’s panic time.

Yeovil and FGR managers have had at least 5 transfer windows to change their teams.
MJ finished his 1st squad 2 days ago....thats it until January now so we have what we have.
Is the jigsaw complete? it's highly unlikely.
Just get behind the boys as the 12th man. It worked wonders at the end of last season, or was that the Jolley effect? coincidence?

Take a look at Crystal Palace last season, supposedly in a transitional period under Frank, went 7 games without a point, dumped him, brought in old codger hodgson who went back to basics and the rest is history as they say....I'm not saying sack MJ after 7 games but, this is now his squad and if by xmas we haven't started to pick up some serious points and are playing a more consistent starting 11/level of football I feel for his future...be such a shame though because I honestly believe in this man and his brand of football....

Proof that there's nothing wrong with an Old Codger.

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

You can’t compare us to FGR as they are being run as a vanity project and have a level of funding and debt way beyond ours.

That is exactly how ours is being run - "vanity on a shoestring but having complete control" would be my take on it.

You'd better ask Mrs Codger!

I think if you look at Newport, who were on the verge of relegation 2 seasons ago, before appointing a young manager who saved them from the drop, the parallels are very similar. They had a season last year building on that,  finishing 11th with a negative goal difference, and have started this season very well. It's great for a club when a new manager comes in and hits the ground running like Cowley up the road, but it's usually a longer term project than that for most clubs.

I think that is true to a degree, but results play such an important part and most "projects" are cut off at the knees before they have had a chance to get going. Failure to win 6,8 10 games usually signals the end project or no project and of course Jolley will appreciate that.

Like you though, I saw enough against Lincoln and MK to be reasonably confident it won't come to that.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Sadly, when I think of Day & Marley, all I can think of is Stadler & Waldorf - hence my cynicism. I've never met a 'progressive' accountant or solicitor yet.

I liked the line where Stadler said to Waldorf " Are you the old fool there is no fool like ".
