    Comfortable in my comments because the majority (club owners, CEO's) see it the same as me which is why ex players with no management experience 'usually' start off as coaches or at the very bottom of the football pyramid.

    If you are looking for a Roy Keane or Paul Ince in a relegation dogfight then you are mistaken.

    We have 2 choices, First is to appoint a manager till the end of the season, This would limit those available to those desperate to find employment and cast off by other clubs or a gamble on someone new to management,
    Second would be to look for a long term appointment and in my view it ideally would be a youngish manager who has previously demonstrated some success and may already be employed so will cost money, It seems strange in football where the most important appointment in the club and one that will determine the success or otherwise of the club and reflect on its finances are often done on the cheap or free, Clubs often wonder why they are never successful yet continue to try get a manager on the cheap while the successful ones spend lots of money getting the right person when needed.

    Thanks all.

    Did a piece a few months ago, never done anything like it before. Thought I'd put something together yesterday after discussions on here. Didn't expect it to be published but Jason very kindly did.

    One of the best things I have read on there and very well balanced.

    The Barnsley game was the killer. It suck the life out of the players.

    Excellent mate. Well done.

    If this ends with Parky coming back Julian Rhodes can shove his new season ticket up his backside. I am NOT watching dark age football that sucks the life right out of you again.

    and let me tell you, this time, he won't get the luck at key times, and itll all end in tears and I'll be forced to gloat about how I was right all along, all over again.

    Strange viewpoint. I don’t think you get lucky over 4 or 5 seasons

    I read your post on Twitter last night. I understand your view and respect and you could also be right BUT dark age football would suit me right out now if it meant year on year progression and a touch of normality.

    Well the odds are stacked against us on this one, so wouldn’t worry too much. After what we have been through this year I would welcome him back tbh, but if I had a choice I would bring McCall back with this squad.
