    He's appointed every other type of manager and got it wrong so why not just go for the full house?

    No, they just thought ok then.

    You would be happy with anything the club does.,’Can’t think for yourself. That’s the difference

    I completely agree - this is the route we need to be going down.

    It is hard to know how many applications we will get from such types, but a modern coach, who can get the best out of our young players, would be ideal, especially for a club whose mantra is sustainability - being able to potentially develop players to sell on for profit etc would be a bonus.

    I personally think that this type of manager would suit us down the line, once we’ve been promoted a few times. What we need right now, is a no nonsense manager, who gets us out of this division and possibly the next. Ugly football, hairy arsed defenders, armpit and elbows Center forward. Do what is necessary, but do NOT over complicate things. One objective - promotion. All the rest can come later. This applies for the board room also.

    I think Dean Holden will be on the shortlist for sure. He's already publicly declared his interest and wants a new role nearer to his Manchester roots

    Which scenario
    Playing attractive entertaining open football and losing or playing boring dross football and winning.

    Ideally in a perfect world it would be a combination of both, attractive football and winning, but at the moment it is the other,,boring dross and losing.
    For me , it is winning at all costs

    Hughes was well backed by the club so he can't use that as an excuse.

    I get it might not go down well with some but if the names being put forward are correct I'd seriously consider it, that of course if he'd come but he rarely has a bad word about us unless it's when we play them, never thought I make this post but we're getting pretty desperate now.

    Out of interest who did you want appointed when we gave the job to both Adams and Hughes Fordy? I’m just intrigued!

    Yes TV today it's those steep steps in the Sunwin I'm worried about, I'm fine mate discomfort rather than pain, thanks to all fellow members who told me it would be a doddle even my anesthetist was a City fan, telling me once I was ready to enter the operating thearter I'd be fast asleep the next I know would be waking up in recovery in all it was easier than a tooth extraction I'm hopeful of getting down for the Wrexham game.
