    Pay him off, get rid of the deadwood - Akpan, Anderson, Robinson, Devine, Gibson, Patrick, send Palmer and Oteh back and start a fresh with a new manager. Use the money from the above, if you can sell any for player funds but make it clear that from now until May this is the squad to work with, if you can crack on if not then this isn't a job for you. Reevaluate in the summer.

    Keep on saying what is the point in Rupp when he's worth 150m but we think like Rhodes meaning we can't pay a manger of or pay compo to another club to get their manager.

    Do Mansfield have more ambition and direction than us?

    Pay of Bowyer and do it now. Stop wating everyone's time Rhodes

    Hang on, let me get this straight. Rather than keep Bowyer and see how it pans out, you'd prefer to sack him, sack a few players (assuming the aren't sold), send a couple of loanees back, hire a new manager, bring some players in to replace those you've sacked...all within the next 11 days, during which time we'll play a further 3 matches?

    I'd be surprised if any players leave in this window yet won't be surprised if none came in, oh yes Bowyer WILL be hear certainly until the end of the season.

    Pretty much.

    You would have hoped that a plan would be in place should it get to a point, possibly this point, to terminate his contract and have a list of potential candidates ready to contact. Clubs now a days replace managers within 24/48 hours.

    OK forget about getting rid/replacing the players mentioned
    even though they haven't featured much at all in the last 18 month.

    I fear where we will be after the 3 matches you mention if the performances continue like Saturday.

    Seems a better idea than Bowyer spunking away our promotion prospects week after week. Any other manager would have this side sat in the top 3 with his eyes closed. Seems Rhodes has exceeded himself once again on the employment front. He's got over 30 goals in the front 2 and can't manage to get any service to them. Other managers would kill for our front 2 but Bowyer just shrugs his shoulders and hoofs the ball aimlessly at them week in week out. 5 at the back with 3 centre midfielders who don't break the lines aren't the way to promotion. You don't even need to be professional to see this. The possession stats from the weekend were a disgrace. We have been found out and will be in free fall by the end of the month.

    What's the point though if we already know he isn't the man for the club and we won't go up under him?

    Rhodes would be an utter fool to keep Bowyer and lose season ticket sales. We will get nowhere near 20k season ticket sales keeping Bowyer until the end of the season.

    Rhodes sticks with him then pressure will grow for him to leave also.

    I'd go for Sooty if available
    Team talk " "Izzy wizzy, let's get busy!", a sprinkling of oofle dust, couple of taps of the wand, job done, up by Easter.
    However, even Sooty and a ton of oofle dust wouldn't make Mellor a player

    Just how much do you think it would cost to get rid of that lot. Use the money from the above you say? It would cost the club a fortune to get rid of all those.

    I get that Dave. It pains me to say it and I hate being negative but I'm struggling to see GB change his style and a positive outcome now after recent poor performances, selections and tactics.

    Look at all the W's around us. Can't see where our next win is coming from. We've been so lucky this season they always say it evens itself out over the 46 games and it looks like we've been found out. Can't see nothing but dropping down the league under GB with his tactics. Goals win games and we don't score any.

    Wasn't that the whole debate about bringing Doyle back, most said he would not continue scoring in anywhere near the same ratio he did at Swindon, having said that (and this is not a criticism but an observation) Doyle should have scored at Crawley and possibly don't better with that late chance against Scunthorpe.

    Yes, even Simon Parker is saying we don the look like going up.

    Do you think we look like going up?

    I respect your opinion and I know you go to games. So what's your thoughts currently because no point showing the league table when it's lying and soon from now we won't be in the play offs.

    Why wait to get rid? Why?

    Sounds pretty much like our current pre match pep talk now
