    Oh why not go for the best manager you think will be suitable even if you have to pay compo?

    Those out of work need to do a good interview and have real desire to move this club forward in every way. Robinson, Crawley’s, Jones etc need to be here for the long term.

    I’ve you said if the results carry on it’s a no brainer.

    So, if the results carry on which are wins. We hire him then how do you or any one know how he copes with defeats? We lose 3 on a row then what? See, the problem with fans like you is you don’t see the bigger picture. Easy to fool!

    That’s why you don’t understand the club and accept failure. Open your brain.

    Now, I am not saying I wouldn’t back KM but I wouldn’t base his appointment on our current results. The next appointment has to work and be long term.

    If you actually read the post I said keep Mac on for the moment whilst the club asses other managers. However if results keep coming then it is a no brainer. There doesn’t seem any that stand out at the moment So let him carry on to see what happens

    So, you trust Sparks to access the squad and make signings in Jan then?

    You do understand the transfer window opens in 2 months or so.

    Think about managers in a job if no decent manager out of work then.

    You do realise who ever is appointed can also lose matches, it's not unique to McDonald.
    This time it looks like the club are in no rush to appoint the new man which I believe you've backed with regards our search for the right man in the past.

    Good point. If we look at the last few Januaries, it is essential this one is different.

    If we beat Wrexham the pressure for Kev Mc to get the role full time will be huge.

    Pressure on who?.

    Kev McDonald to quit playing and go for the job permanently

    Or Pressure on Rupp and Sparks to ignore other interviewees and offer him the role

    Time for Gent to earn his crust-identify players of different styles for where we need strengthening-not much wriggle room in the squad though. Maybe cancel some of the loans

    I thought it was all MH's fault and we had a really good squad?
    Gent help put that squad together?

    People on here saying give McDonald the job. Hasn’t he already on a few occasions said he wants to keep playing?

    I hear that he is doing well (three wins from three) but if he doesn’t want it, he doesn’t want it.
