Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

[RiftHouseLad]

Don't joke. Plenty would have him back a 4th time. Get Raj to give Martin Gray a ring. They seemed to get on well.

Forgot all about MG, Just the thought makes me shivver.

 

[Boz]

Keith Hill - now ex-scunny is available for the next team that sack their manager....

Not if they’ve got any sense…

 

[BarraMatt]

Oddly, we've extended Wild's contract already, which can only mean we've had people sniffing around.

You've got a good one there for sure

confirmed as a 5 year deal in his post match interview - it's a long deal for any manager - but gives the club some protection when the "bigger" clubs start sniffing around which they will do if we have a good season.

 

[Chief Rocka]

A new 5 year deal that will take him into his 90's.

To be fair the rest of us are that age anyway after the last two seasons.

to be fair i feel at least 10 years younger watching the team this season

 

[Stocky]

I like Wild and he's doing a great job at Barrow as he did at Halifax.

One thing at Halifax though was I always thought he had the air of a nearly man who fell short at the big moments. Be interesting to see if he can pull through that at Barrow. But considering Barrow were relegation candiates since they've come up from the NL, it would hardly be a huge gripe to have.

He certainly has made a great connection with the fans very quickly too.

Anyone other than that clown who recently left Rochdale available ?

 

[Chief Rocka]

He struck gold with DC, Raj's previous 5 or is it 6? appointments have been horrific.

To think we chased this bloke for a month and upped the compo in order to get him.

Plus the plonkers he employed at Darlo.

Hartley is the short term problem, but Raj continues to be the long term one, if we go down it's 100% on him.

He will appoint Sweeney temporarily then wait until end of Jan to find a permanent manager, so he can blame that wait for why there was no money spent in January

DC could well be available by then.

Do not count Flynn out either our fans are turning already expected better this season.

I expected Flynn to do really well but at the same time when I looked at your signings/squad I was underwhelmed.

Newport might well have a vacancy when he's available....

 

[Soup Ladle]

Word on social media is that Hartley is out and we're bringing in Graham Alexander

 

[Conker]

Logical decision if true

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Harris coming under increasing pressure too.
Hardly surprising when we have one win and two goals from our first nine games!
Our foootball is shite and his decision making even worse.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he walks.

God I hope it’s not bollocks.

Probably is. Proper managers don't come near us. Hartley walking is believable mind.

Betsy could be in trouble at Crawley.

6 points from 27 possible, out shot in every game weve played and reputedly one of the highest budgets.

Tactically he has changed track. Gone from trying to out posses the other team to sitting back and relying on breaks but then benches our fastest forward (and when he brought him on v Stockport played him on the edge of our own area).

Seems the players are still onside but that may be due to his coaching ability. The fans have gone from worried to wanting him gone (70-30 split I'd say).

My personal opinion is he is learning on the job, making mistakes and trying to rectify them In the next game. He needs to be more proactive on the side...or if he is giving orders the players are not listening which is worse.

Next up is the tenth game. 6 points from 30 I think he is in real trouble. 9 from 30, he aint out of the woods but survives until the 15th game. Away at Doncaster another struggling team but we haven't beaten Rochdale or Harrogate. I'm not confident.

This is biggest issue, any manager worth his salt wouldn’t touch us with the owner we have. Word spreads fast in football and that’s why we keep ending up with bargain bin recruitment

 

[Chief Rocka]

Hartley gone

 

[AdamStag]

Hartley gone

no surprise

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Thank fuck for that. Anything other than the cheapest possible option for once would be welcomed

 

[Chief Rocka]

Must have someone lined up, 'A further update on succession plans will follow in due course' there's no way we bob along for a month with a caretaker whilst they interview.
