Most liked posts in thread: Stuart GONE!

Sorry it hasn't worked out for Stuart but as some have said,
his health is more important than the obvious stress he was
under. His comment of "if he is still here" probably had more
substance than just an off the cuff remark.

Sarcasm came into his pitch side remarks to the players during
yesterdays game. Shouting at BRE to get a head on crosses and
then pulling him off when their 2nd goal went in. BRE needs to go.

Shouting "does anyone want to score a goal !" I think he knew
the players were not responding.

No good anyone going down to Apperley Bridge Monday to ask
the players if they are behind him. I don't think they were but
don't know why.

So, will the club go down the easy predictable route? Have they
someone lined up? If the former is the case maybe Parky is on
the way. However, expecting previous success to be replicated
is unlikely, it doesn't work that way. Would Parky consider it or
prefer a family Xmas instead? Whatever happens we HAVE to get
this right. Sparks will be judged on this.

 

It's standard policy to ask for applications also gives the impression we are looking for the best candidate
Has yours gone in yet

 

Chris Wilder could be out of work soon, losing again at Southampton, second season in the Premier seems to have found them out as it has with many in the past.

 

Edited for accuracy

 

All the new manager has to do is prevent us from dropping down a league and he will be seen as a great success!!
That's how desperate we have become.

 

I think Sparks is just making the point that, unlike last time, no-one's going to walk into the job.

 

But not Rhodes.Just in case

 

The part of the past that was Worth looking back on was that era. He is a proven manager at this level he would be the perfect temporary fit

 

I hope that with the dire position we are in, it won't be a question of money, but more about getting the best we can for the job . This Club need the right fix and Rupp needs to splash the dosh to protect his investment and the Club's immediate future.

Sad to se it unravel for Stuart in the way it has, but his passion became higher in profile than his attributes as a manager.Wish him and Kenny all the best for the future.

 

He’d be great at centre half

 

I agree. It bleedin obvious where we have fallen down since PP left. I am sure Ryan will get that side sorted.

Now is the time to set a solid foundation for the future.

 

How do you know that was Ryans decision. It has Rhodes all over it for me and if little extra money was involved , small increase spread over a longer period , then i can understand it being done as a jolt to the squad to buck up there ideas, as the manager is going to be here long term. That did not work, They now know that the new man will be, he wont be mates with any of them and they are now playing for there future in profesional football. I can not see many of this squad being offered work elsewhere . Akpan - Anderson are prime examples , both sat at home unemployed . More footballers will finish up like this because of the salary cap. You dont have to be the worlds best footballer to play in the lower leagues but you do have to apply yourself properly. This current squad , irrespective of injuries , size or ability , should be doing better and that is down to them .
Poor team selection or formation, does not make you miss headers or open goals or leave your opposing man completely unmarked. This squad of players also have a lot to answer for.

 

If he had the same effect as Mr cherry I would be over the moon

 

I'm not saying you're wrong but that makes zero sense.

I can't see McCall being paid enough where reducing his monthly wage by 2/3, or something in that region, would make a blind bit of difference to the number or quality of players we could get in.

If it did then he was definitely being substantially overpaid!!

 

I blame Jamie Raynor, Stuart just couldn't handle his probing post match questioning.

Seriously though, top journalist that Raynor fella

 

I agree with almost everything you say. Apart from the final paragraph. I think there are extenuating circumstances that means that they can't afford to gamble with this appointment. Regardless of who they might find new and exciting.

The club needs the football equivalent of a Red Adair, a very safe and experienced appointment who'll ensure (as much as anyone can) that they remain a league club come next May. Someone who knows the league and knows what it takes to be competitive in it. Giving the job to a hungry rookie now would be a massive gamble. I don't think they should roll the dice at this point. Give someone the job until next year if needs be, then spend that time looking at where they want to take the club come next year.
