If only it happened a week sooner. Might still have our too scorer here. Still, better Late than never

 

Nolan for me long term.

McCall or Warnock short term Doubt McCall would come back and Rhodes couldn't handle Warnock so Nolan from that list.

The players need someone to look up too and with a network. I said Nolan or Kewell last season and I stick by that.

 

This is why I would be looking at a Nolan or Kewell. The club needs a young manager and a manager with a blueprint for the future.

Then we need to build the boardroom. Rhodes position? Sporting director etc.

We need to create an identity now!

 

This will change as the dust settles, but Michael Jolley?, as he just been recently sacked at Grimsby?

 

Mate, it was clear from the off he wasn't what we needed.

 

Warnock odds crashing to 5/1 now maybe a chance

 

Nail on the head.

 

I think it's a bet like the Wellens situation.

It's kind of not about the CV, it's about the players being able to look up to someone and say they've been their done it. They can relate.

They'll have an identity to how they want to play then it also allows Rhodes etc to sort the boardroom out.

I would take McCall short term but doubt he would come back under Rupp.

 

Ian Evatt would be an interesting shout, doing a brilliant job at Barrow. But would we approach another club and negotiate compensation, highly unlikely I would have thought?

 

Happy days. Had to happen. We need someone who can get in quickly, organise and motivate. Theres enough in this squad to get results. Hope to god we manage to get Warnock but cant see it sadly

 

No credit from me. The next manager will be baba in Fordy's eyes just like all the others. There's no skill in that because as we all know every manager goes in the end. I'll give Fordy credit when he names someone that's realistically a candidate for the job. He won't do that of course because if he does and he gets the job he won't be able to slag him everyday. Let's face it that's the only thing that interests him.

 

I've wet myself next record on Farewell is a lonely sound by Jimmy Ruffin could someone download it for Fordy please got to get this job finished for Mrs Rocket

 

Fail to see what Kewell or Nolan would bring to the table, Nathan Jones a very good shout, Tisdale a possibility, Warnock a good stop gap until the end of the season if we can't get these 2.

 

Did Swindon see what Wellens would bring or Luton with Jones.

Sometimes it's not about what you think they would bring, it's what is best for the players and i feel our players need someone they can look up too and relate too.

 

I like Warnock but would it seem right only having him here 'til end of season...?

Then having to start process over again......

 

They are finding out how quickly he can pour a beer and if he can flip a burger at the same time. Give him a trial day this Saturday and the jobs his.

 

Is there a need to be so spiteful?

Whislt I'm comfortable with him going, it now depends totally on who comes in. This happened two seasons ago, exactly the same time after the same away defeat and look how that season faded away

Are you now suddenly trusting the board to employ, who you see is the right person?

On balance I think it's a good decision - surely any reaction from the players can only be positive

 

Maybe just leaving that decision to the new manager?

 

I do think circumstances are fundamentally different this time though, yes the board need to make the correct appointment but there isn't (I don't believe) the same poisonous or underlying issues which will hinder the performance going forward.

Make no mistake, we are where we are because of Bowyer's tactics - yes the league positions and results are pretty much identical but there just isn't the feeling that our squad has been out performing it's abilities like there was under McCall. Time will tell but I personally believe that there is a hell of a lot more to come from this bunch of players.
