If we're appointing a DoF first then who we appoint might drastically change who we're linked with as manager as whoever it is will have their own history of people they've worked with in the past.

Oh of course, I wasn't saying it was something that you might say... more just using you as a yardstick for pessimism... a unit of measure if you will :)

HG levels of pessimism there :fl: I mean, I know foreign owners in the lower leagues (or just people from outside the world of football generally) don't have a great track record but it does seem that Wrexham has changed that. Love or hate the amount of attention they get (and I see the BBC's...

Is the speculation linking him with us though just because 1) He's managed Barrow and we have a history of exchanging players and coaches with them 2) He's recently out of work 3) League Two is generally considered his level Cos when you look at these there is good reason why the bookies are...

I don't see how there's anything in this beyond some journalist's blind speculation. Tom Piatak has said that we've had applications but also that the plan is to appoint a DoF first and then start approaching managers. Pretty sure then we haven't approached Bell and equally sure that Bell...

Clearly you needed a smaller dressing room

New owners at Dongs and performing well below expectations so far, I'm surprised he's lasted as long as he has.

Without getting carried away I do have higher expectations than I've ever had before for a managerial appointment... for the first time since I've been supporting United we aren't just going to go with the cheapest option.

They aren't making the decision alone though, Clibbens was CEO of Huddersfield during their rise to the Premiership and was the man responsible for bringing David Wagner to England so I'm sure he knows a thing or two about appointing a manager. Maybe he was also responsible for Keith Millen, but...

Was more entertaining than anything going on on the pitch... the police were just watching him... having presumably decided they didn't have the necessary health and safety to go up there after him as he took his clothes off and just sunbathed...

Feel like you can say that of almost any manager... I can't remember the last time a Carlisle manager was sacked when one of the main criticisms wasn't 'no plan B'... Managers will have thier preferred ways of playing and will be at a disadvantage if they have to adjust how they set up when the...

I'd bite your hand off for that record

Apparently it was a Tranmere fan who had been denied entry (drunk I presume) who climbed onto the roof of the Waterworks End. Deja-vu for the likes of AdamStag and Conker

I'll avoid making bold comments because if Pete Wild does become our next manager I'll have to get behind him... wouldn't be my choice though. On paper we have the squad to play positive attacking football so I'd like to see someone with a track record of doing well by doing that. Also I did...

I'll believe it when you say we aren't

I expected he would get 10... but then I don't think anyone (including obviously the owners) expected us to start the season quite as badly as we have. We were talking about if we're not in touch with the playoffs after ten games then Simpson might have to go... nobody was thinking but what if...

He got a lot of leeway last year though... not just because of his previous achievements but also I think the meagre budget that Pepe Guardiola would probably have struggled to keep us up with. At the start of last season we had one of the lowest budgets in the football league and almost...

Not clear yet whether he's been sacked or decided to leave... as I did suspect he was the sort of person to walk away and not want the ignomy of being sacked by his hometown club. It's really sad... or at least it is for those of us who remember his first spell... I think for some of the fans...

yeah, I feel when we signed him in January we already knew he wouldn't hit the ground running after barely playing for Harrogate... Not entirely sure what happened there, whether it was just Harrogate being brutally pragmatic and not wanting to play someone who was after a move, or whether the...

hasn't been in the starting lineup so far this season and missed the last two games due to the birth of his child but played well and scored against Stockport in our final friendly. Looked decent in his all-round hold-up play last season. He only scored three goals which most would point to as...
