I quite agree, unfortunately. after a certain amount of time, the circumstances are largely irrelevant, it's just a sacking.

 

Is the Scottish managers job still available?

 

Can we start a go fund me for @Ricc and a huge stock of tissues?

 

Mark Ellis reckons we should get Stuart in has head of football and put a structure in place. Lay down foundations and build a proper youth set up.

Pretty sure Stu would prefer to be in a managerial role for now though.

 

Is this the same Mark Ellis who set up some USA thing with us, and we got a crock of shit sent over? Not sure he's entitled to an opinion on the set up of the club Despite being a well liked character and former wing wizard (maybe he should replace Kiwomya on the wireless).
Mind you, what was the name of the American kid we had over on trial, and then released? I am sure he actually went on to become pretty decent. Must have been about 8/10 years ago when we were doing that US thing...

 

Jonathan Lewis. Got home sick so he left us. Signed for New York City and been capped by USA already at the age of 21. https://www.nycfc.com/players/55/jonathan-lewis

 

Get him signed up then! Always liked him. Him and Macca as Head of Football and Transfers. Sounds good!

 

Not sure SM would take a job as head of football. He didn’t want to work under one so I’m guessing he isn’t a fan of the set up

 

Good info. Shame we cancelled his contract, and didn't send him back home for a season or two to get his head together while playing football. I suspect he'd jump at the chance of playing abroad now.

 

He was the one that recommended Wells....

 

I wonder if Stuart might be interested in the Kilmarnock gig now than Clarke has been appointed Scotlands manager.
reckon he'd be in with a shot if he fancies it.

 

He has probably inherited some good players. He may well take them to the playoffs, but anyone can do that with good players.

Only if he can do it when random German non league players start to populate his squad, or when a squad is heavily depleted and the owners decide not to support him willl I believe in him.

 

It all seems to have gone a bit belly up since this thread.

I was looking forward to seeing Stuart return to VP in the next couple of weeks but I'm not sure it's actually going to happen any more.

I kid you not though, he's apparently started Rory McArdle in centre midfield.

 

Wholly shit - he really is losing the plot.
He never had a plan B - love the guy to bits but not sure he’s a top manager.

 

30 matches since christmas 2017 - 17 losses, 6 draws and 7 wins.

 

I was at the Scunthorpe game this afternoon, they were terrible, on a par with some of our displays earlier in the season, the supporters I spoke to/heard were split as to whether he has inherited an unbalanced squad and deserves a chance to sort it in January, or isn't up to the job and should be at risk of the sack.

I don't know enough about Scunthorpe's squad to judge, but watching him on the bench brought back memories of how he was utterly incapable of turning things around when his teams got into a rut at City, though it's potentially good news for us if he can't.
