    Happy along with most fans when Adams was appointed but it hasn’t worked out and it’s probably the best outcome for both parties that he’s gone.
    As for the next manager going to aim high (wishful thinking) but would go for Chris Houghton, Grant McCann or short term Neil Warnock. Would love Chris Houghton to come but unlikely to drop two divisions. Think he has been an unsung hero wherever he’s managed and as he’s not managing at the moment ……, Neil Warnock again probably out of our reach so Grant McCann it is then!

    Im not silly, it’s called common sense. He’s had a go and failed. He was sacked. He played his team the same style as Adams before Adams arrived. That’s why Adams agreed to keep him on as deputy because he knew he wouldn’t change style. Think before you suggest someone is being silly?

    I think while we are in league 2 and run at costs we shouldn’t get too caught up on attractive football, sure have a go but style isn’t all that important.

    It’s like your partner giving you £50 and telling you to go do the weekly shop, you aren’t shopping at Waitrose.

    Our fans want Waitrose football at Lidl prices, winning and getting out of this league no matter how has to be the objective.

    Unless we can get an owner with a vision, willing to invest off and on the field to make it happen.

    I am afraid that you are silly for not ready through what I said properly. Young coaches styles evolve in the modern game. Give Trueman some credit. He has seen that system not working and knows that we the fans don't like that system. It isn't as if he his a 50+ coach who is set in his ways. Give the guy a chance until we get someone in.

    You have ZERO evidence he has changed his playing style. So no, I’m not giving him anything. He failed we move on. We mustn’t go backwards so it’s a no from me.

    I'd have no beef with Warnock, my only concern is he's now 73 and may have lost a bit of the fire in his belly

    Our fans want what is being done at Forest Green or Exeter. You can be successful with a style and not break the bank

    I agree but both them teams have had an infrastructure in place for years and kept a lot of the same players and played a similar style throughout. It doesn’t happen over night, Exeter we’re relegated 10 year ago from this level and Taylor took over 4 years ago.

    I remember very clearly Forest Greens first visit To play City on 24th Aug 2019. What a dreadful game, time wasting, cynical fouls, awful style of football, no fans, etc. It was one of the worst games I have seen at Valley Parade.
    ‘Style’ and Forest Green Rovers do not go hand in hand.

    But a GD of 37 and top scorers in the league might suggest otherwise

    Get too close to the bonfires that these farmer types keep lighting and he's also in danger of losing some of his belly in the fire.

    Steve Evans is into 7/4 favourite with William Hill. (5/2 with BetVictor).

    New manager odds fluctuate quite a lot so these odds should be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's intriguing nonetheless.

    Makes sense from the bookies point of view.

    He'd almost certainly take the job, for one, which puts him above most of their 'candidates'.

    But I've still full faith in the club regarding this issue.

    Zero chance.

    If Evans gets the job, then it would be a very poor decision in my opinion. He has an awful lot of baggage (and some of it smells fairly rancid). We want someone who is more capable of uniting supporters, rather than divide them.
