    Gent has had nothing to do with rugby league. He was head of Middlesbrough successful academy and their scouting system.

    You are confusing Gent with davide longo, who until the Eldense fiasco, had done quite well on the commercial side of things

    I'm not disagreeing by any means first and foremost, but just for clarity if we get beat at home to Crewe next Saturday MH has to win/draw away at Mansfield the following week or he's sacked??

    Mike Williamson at Gateshead. Young manager with a reputation for good, attacking football.

    No more failed managers who've been sacked elsewhere.

    In that case I will stand corrected

    However that makes it even worse to me. If Gent is as experienced as you say, then it is even more worrying given the dross we have signed on allegedly big wages

    A lot of people writing our season off after 4 games. 4 points from 4 games (including 3 away from home) isn’t exactly crisis time. Not ideal but hardly sack the manager time.

    I said it last year that I’d give him until the end of this season and I stand by that. He’s had his time to shape the squad and tactics, so if he fails this season then it’s time to reassess.

    You don't even know Gent was not an RL man so you know nothing

    Some of us have been saying this for years now.

    The longer we go without a dof, the longer it will take us to get back on the right track long term.

    Sparks cannot be allowed to make another footballing decision at this club ever again, especially with regards to hiring managers. He hasn't got a single footballing decision right since he was made CEO.

    evidence suggests he knows nothing much about football, didn't he start out in rugby league, he was recruited by Julian Rhodes who was the master at bringing failure on the pitch.

    Face value assessment but misses so much that is wrong. Hughes has not just joined the club! In my eyes he just isn't up to managing a league 2 club and doesn't really have the hunger or the necessity to make it work.
    If you are seriously suggesting we endure a whole season of this shambolic planning and delivery then heaven help us

    I’m suggesting that the season will improve and the drama on here is over the top. We’re 4 games in to the season. Nothing is won or lost in a 46 game league season in August.

    4 games isn't enough at all, and one low ebb (today was a low ebb) doesn't sink a season.

    But that sucked, and results can't wait.

    Need to win a couple now.

    I think it's the nature of the performances, starting with a sending off in the first half of the first game something you could see coming, it's not good enough and the performances have been poor. It can only really improve we look terrible its the same every season, under achievement. This club is testing fans loyalty to the max serving up rubbish like today, Hughes should have turned the corner by now but its far from that and we are going backwards.
