Next manager

And where I say cheap, I just don't mean his own price tag,also doing a job on a shoestring budget.

 

I can’t muster any enthusiasm for the appointment we’re about to make, based on the list of candidates and apparent choice of Holden. Not to be crass, but its like we’ve finally realised we have a terminal illness and the doctor in charge is trying to offer us a choice of Paracetamol or Asprin.

 

By the same token that I don't think Holden will be a disaster, I'm puzzled why you think the Cowleys are definitely the answer.

 

Is there any evidence to show he’s not taking money out? And any propping up he did during covid would have been to protect the complete loss of his asset. He’s invested nothing, neither in terms of finance or real effort. He’s entrusted a business in a sport he knows nothing about, in a foreign country, to a novice and fast tracked CEO who has nothing on his CV (then or now) to suggest he’s capable of taking the club forward.

The last 20 packs of Paracetamol didn't do the trick but maybe the next one will

 

If its him, good luck because he'll need it to get this team promoted.

 

Twas only because it told me it hadn't posted - certainly not deliberate. Clearly I am about as inept as most of the current 1st team

 

You said we shouldn't protest as he would stop funding us.
But he's not funding us is he?

 

To be blunt. There's not a single appointment that gives me any enthusiasm.

That's because clearly, given the expectations and like numerous other clubs 'too big' for their division (Ipswich, Wednesday, United, Leeds, Forest) it's a very hard gig.

I'd seriously doubt Pep could do the job - certainly not this season.

 

Do we know for sure Cowley and Holden have been interviewed for the vacancy.
I'm not so sure it would appear the speculation is nothing more than that.

 

Parky had got a promotion under his belt with Colchester though.

 

Correct. He did a brilliant job there.

 

Its a hard gig for people who aren't up to the task, and because we're not set up for success from the top down. Fundamentally, because we have a disinterested owner.

 

Not definitely but with a much greater probability than anyone else I've seen mentioned.

 

We were in the Top 3 in 2009, under McCall at a similar time of the season. We didn't go up.

Numerous clubs have blown it in their last 12 matches.

If we're going to have a nuanced view of Wellens and the Cowleys and quite right we do. Let's also have one about Holden.

 

Not suggesting we couldn't have done better. Just suggesting he's not as bad as some make out.

 

If it's Holden -

Do you think the club have told him we need promotion this season? Good luck with season tickets next season if he been given a free pass this season.

 

Most will accept there are worse owner's out there.
What we're struggling to accept is that we aren't progressing and we don't have a plan.

 

Rumours on twitter today that we have the 4th biggest budget in the league. Over £5m.
It'll be all out for 7th spot.
