Artell Out  (triple merged)

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

I'm not convinced that yesterday was anything to do with Artell's style of play because the players didn't even to attemp to play in that style. I'm more inclined to to wonder just how many he's told are not in his plans for next season and that this has affected morale.

I just can't fathom how we managed to play MK Dons off the park with tiki-taka style football (within days of him taking over) and then play like late era Slade yesterday.

I also wonder how many of the lads who’s deals are up have already told their agents to look for a move instead of waiting on the “possibility” they might get a new deal  with Town and have already called time in their heads on their GTFC careers.

Maybe the players are also p1ssed off with Artell as the departures now mean they have to re-think their car shares 😂

Quoted from GollyGTFC

He got promoted on PPG having played just 37 matches but having played all of the bottom 8 twice and only 2 of other 9 teams in the top 10 twice. i.e. they were facing a b*stard of a run in and based on their results against the top teams they would likely have dropped down the table.

But we’ll never know.

But what I will say is, a promotion based on PPG after the season stopped suddenly and without warning is a much less significant achievement than a promotion over a full 46 matches having played everyone home and away.

The fact that nobody poached him from Crewe after the promotion or when they finished 12th in L1 in the empty stadium season probably tells us something though.

Exactly what i've just said, it's just pure ignorance to suggest that and you just again contradicted yourself as finishing 12th in L1 with Crewe is quite a remarkable achievement. You don't know that there wasn't attempts? A promotion is a promotion, I wouldn't care how we went up. You are speaking in conjecture and I am talking in facts, what he did at Crewe was remarkable. You can speak on what he's doing here without downplaying his previous achievements.

At one point yesterday Artell pulled all the players in and he did his imaginary accepting the ball, then playing in forward thing which I’ve noticed he does most games. Nigel Atkins stood and watched with a big smile on his face. It’s odd, coaching like that makes me wonder what they do a cheapside as surely that’s the place for such things……it’s all very odd and I’m getting quite worried about it all.

So you think saying he should go is right then?

No I don't  stop putting words in my mouth , I would have preferred shaun and Ben for the rest of the season though .

Remarkable? Really? He did well but what John Coleman mk2 did at Accrington and Derek Adams at Morecambe at that level were far more impressive than DA’s achievement at Crewe.

And of course there weren’t attempts to poach him. If A Barnsley or an Oxford or a Peterborough offered to double or treble his wages or a Championship club offered to multiple his salary by x he’d have been gone in a shot.

DA is like a nice house you’ve seen when looking to move house.. You think it’s a great house at a great price, but you wonder why it’s been on the market for a year and no one else has bought it. There must be a flaw that everyone else has seen that you haven’t.


And achievements in the 2019/20 season in L1 & L2 simply cannot be held in the same regards as a full season of 46 matches. The integrity of playing everybody twice, once at home & once away hasn’t been fulfilled.

I'm hearing mutterings he's lost the dressing room already hence players are going because they all take the urine out ofvhim behind his back.Just shows how sh1t modern football is the players have all the power and its always the fans that suffer

Heard a murmur of that this week myself but it isn’t the first time so I always take it with a massive amount of salt and just put down to the gossip nature of football supporters.. Usually it’s likely one player that’s not in the team or been told they can leave that’s started playing silly buggers.

If I was remotely Artell out, which I’ve already said I’m not, then this would make me go the other way.

If true, again that’s an if, then they’re a disgrace. They’re professional footballers and should act as such. Some of their performances this year are an embarrassment and they really aren’t in a position to think they ‘know better’. They should be embarrassed that they have no professional pride.

It was time to let Paul go, but it has always annoyed me that these players basically lost a good man and club legend his job - don’t like playing professional league football? There’s plenty that do - so intercourse off.

Probably because like modern day footballers, they need their tears wiping away when they're told a few home truths about how excrement they are!..

It's depressing they have this sort of power. I know its singling someone out but Eisa yesterday in terms of his actual effort did he really do his best in terms of workrate? On that showing he'd never play for me ever again he showed zero interest. The rest where crap but looked to be trying 🤔
