He is doing a good job so far to compare himself to John askeys way of life at Shrewsbury town this season, we took another punt with a unproven manager with John askey taking Macclesfield up so he arrived here and didn’t end on a good note.. so we took another punt with Ricketts who was doing really well at Wrexham fair enough.but we made the same mistake twice in the same season with unproven credibility in leagues 1 or 2 , the club said it had over 60 applications when askey left maybe they could of shared them out and done voting poll like they have with power league bar name maybe we couldn’t of got the right man in ! .. for me these bad managerial appointments are going to take us back to league 2 !... I’d be more encouraged if we made some proven signings this January but so far just gamble signings they worked under hurst so maybe the club still has theory who knows.... oh well least we are still in the fa cup which we are taking seriously.

Funny thing is people will be slating me for bringing this up but will probably be saying the same thing if we do get relegated personally I thought we wasn’t in The position to take a punt on an manager just starting out as league manager I’d prefer experience and knowledge of bringing In player who are up for it week In week out.

not sure he is any better than askey in that dept, cannot say he has greatly improved us as a team especially results wise,does worry me that we are right in the relegation mix and need a striker, he turns to an unproven youngster on the basis that he runs around a lot? ??my basis would be because he scores a lot,heres hoping he really is sam the man

Give the guy a chance. He will not be as good as JA would have ended up but that ship has sailed. Our fans seemed too inexperienced to understand how a decent side is put together. It takes time. Nothing is a given. Absolutely nothing. Edwards, who has been an excellent player, may not even work out. What I did know whas that JA was NOT inexperienced. Clowns on here who have not followed much football in life don't understand that. It's a pity.
Don't believe the hype that we have spent massively; we haven't. The major issue is regarding wages. I agree with our policy of bringing in unproven players and managers. We will not be able to compete with the alternative. Proven players and managers at this level come with a very expensive tag and guarantee nothing. I'm glad we are prudent. I'm glad we are not mortgaging our future.
Give him a chance. He will be grossly inferior to the man he replaced despite his soundbites and 'inspirational' media interviews.

In this league it's generally about the manager and the vibe he gives. Look at Wycombe. Lost all their loan players because they couldn't afford to keep them, then win two on the bounce. There are plenty of teams in this league who have spent less than us. After last year's freak year we got good money in and we end up with total muck in the most important position. This then has a knock on effect to the rest of the team. We're in trouble. Make no bones about it......

SR has taken on a squad of players and is doing his best with what he has been given. What more can we expect him to do.

whatever reservations i had about rickets he is the manager, are we doing any better under him than askey is not helpful, can he keep us up ? can he get this team to play consistently and stop sliding down the table only time will tell.he inherited the team we have, it seems not surprisingly that there is limited funds in this transfer window and let us be honest what players will wont to come to a league 1 team who look to be in a relegation battle if they can go somewhere else? does anyone seriously think we will sack two managers in a season ? so let us hope whatever we may think of him that Rickets can turn things around.

In his post match he was close to saying you have to respect the point, but he didn't, so give the guy a chance. All important transfer window which hopefully will be bouyed by our Reading and Wolves contacts. Hope a few likely loanees come along next week to suss us out as a destination.

Does the last 12 months show how ordinary the likes of Ricketts and Askey are or how good Hurst was?

Was Ricketts first choice to lead us after Askey? If the rumours that I’ve been hearing have any credence to them, and given their sources there’s no reason why not, Ricketts was at best 5th choice with two very experienced managers turning the club down, one not so doing the same and one not returning despite several within the club preferring the move but with threats of departure from others putting pay to that. He may have been first choice for one person but then so was Askey.
Give Ricketts a chance but the remaining time within the January transfer window is pivotal

To answer the opening question, to any sensible person, it's far too early to tell. To a football fan demanding instant success then no he isn't.

I have it on reasonably good authority that PH wasn't our 1st choice either the 1st time we appointed him.

Got to give the guy a chance, as it's been mentioned several times before, last season was a one off and anything less than that it would seem we are judging this season on,just look at the way Rotherham are struggling, if we had of gone up, does anybody really think we wouldn't be in the same situation or even worse,was always going to be a gamble who ever we appointed, I guess we will have a much clearer view come February,but I think survival this season is our aim, this is a totally new team with a new man in charge, it's not going to be pretty to watch but I think we will do just enough to stay up.

People questioned the appointment and abilities of JA before a ball was kicked, and continued until he left.
Therefore, it seems reasonable that the OP has raised the same question about SR. Not that I agree with it, as it seems self-defeating.
As for the question. F00k knows, I'm not an expert, but if we go down, I expect an immediate return. We've done it before.

Hard to judge him given how poor, but really big squad he has inherited. He's managed to get quite a few players out that weren't being used, so hopefully he can bring in some better options because we really need them

It's a pity. . Spot on. Don't buy this whole 'inexperienced' thing at all for either Askey or Ricketts. Especially Ricketts, played at all levels from Conference to Premiership, involved in international football, experience of coaching at the highest level. If he had played in the Premiership for a team people had heard of like Man United or Chelsea, everyone would be saying what a fantastic coup it was to get him here.

So far we haven’t really improved under him, and very disappointed with our business in the transfer window so far, signing Dave Edwards brought some ‘feel good’ factor but when will he ever be fit?
