Is Matt Sadler off limits? for me the timing is bad for matt sadler, start of the season would have been good, but now seems to have so much in common with Taylor they might as well be twins ;-) ;-) Ah Yes, But M Sadler is a Pisces who are compatible with other water signs like Cancer, (RW) Though MMoore is Libra, as is Paul Hurst which is not incompatible I think. Duff is Capricorn so may not be a good match for Moore. Hard work this analysis stuff...

Paul hurst was born in the year of the snake actually having checked it was the year of the tiger, that could have been awkward ;-)

Best of luck to Matt Taylor. We all wanted things to work out, but this was not the place where it was meant to be for him. Just could not see how he was going to turn the ship around, whether or not he got new signings to work with.
Let's hope he continues to be involved in the football world, however, as he does have something to offer.

Thank **** Bignott has gone, just get Moore ****ed off and this horrendous experiment is over. ‘We will now begin the search for a new head coach.’ Suggests Moore will stay and the current set up will continue. So it should. Moore may not be the right person but that doesn’t mean the strategy is wrong. A club making such a big strategic decision has to be prepared to tough it out and not quit after 6 months.

Taylor gave it a go, seemed a decent bloke but I think we’ve all found out management isn’t his thing. We have enough good players from last year not to have been so poor, even with Moore’s downgrades in quality in other areas of the park. Give the people what they want. Hurst looks nice in loggerhead clothes. I’m a person and that’s not what I want.

If we are throwing random names about someone who has impressed me with their football knowledge is Ian Sharps. He co-commentated on one of our games and spoke a lot of sense. Class player aswell!

Hey, we seem to love the Irish at the moment, why not Stephen Bradley at Shamrock Rovers! Has coached a lot of ex EFL players there!

Isn't Taylor the second manager we've sacked after losing away at Peterborough? Wasn't Jake King the first after a 4-1 drubbing? Ricketts. Think that one was 5-1. Jake King went after Peterborough

I wish Matt Taylor well, it’s a pity it hasn’t worked out for him here. I valued his integrity.
And it wasn’t all bad, either.

A regular visitor to the Meadow recently has been Lee Carsley, England Under 21 manager. Now in the frame for the Ireland Managers job. Too good for town but what a great appointment that would be.

I've said this before I'll probably say it again. At our level experience matters very little. Anybody with experience has failed somewhere and been sacked. Three of our best managers started as player managers. Arthur of course. Alan Durban and Graham Turner. You may say that was a long time ago but they all did wonders for our club, and I suspect that the boardroom then was even less helpful than the present incumbents. I'm not advocating a player manager, just that somebody should be appointed who is full of ideas.

As mentioned by many on here Taylor came across as a nice guy, but the tactics, what were they? In 40 years of following Town I’ve never been so confused as to our style of play.
Whoever takes over I’m just looking forward to seeing a plan of some kind unfold. If it’s long hoof ball up to Fortune-West, with Derek Asamoah running off him then sobeit, but at least I’d understand what we were attempting to achieve.

It's a big job and one that takes a lot of time, knowledge and planning. League one football is miles away to third division 30 years or longer ago

The noticeable thing for me has been the reaction from other fans. When you sack someone so early on and/or when a club are going through a bad run then you'll get comments suggesting it's harsh, unrealistic demands from fans/board, etc. I've not seen a single comment that suggests it was harsh, in fact it's the opposite, most have said he was lucky to get the job in the first place and commented on how poor we were when we played them. A Peterborough fan said we didn't look bad but our attack looked like something out of non league.

I've often found him quite condescending, he was as bad as Cotterill in interviews, just coy and polished about it like a lying politician.
I won't miss the endless questions he asked himself and then answered them, they were driving me mental. "Can we do better? Yes" 🙄
He's a really nice guy on the face of it, but if he wants a successful career he needs to focus on his football coaching!

He was well polished, but I often wondered when he continued to talk about the amount of time they spent in the classroom, and the all the work they did when out of possession, whether they'd be better off spending the time on the training pitch working on their strengths and working on when they're in possession. 🤔

Glad it's not just me who found his interview technique mildly irritating Seems like a nice bloke, but has as much charisma as a courgette

The lower league lampard. Excellent playing career, dog awful coach, even worse tactician and nauseating in press conferences.
Also fell upwards though not any longer.

Don’t forget our new manager will also be judged on appearance and sartorial elegance. I remember that when Taylor was appointed! He ‘looked’ the part. I think it was Moore who said that.

And whether he waves properly. To be honest I’m sick of managers parading round the pitch after games now, lapping up fan applause and doing the three fist pumps. Would never have seen the likes of Fergie or the great Graham Turner do that. A quick clap and down the tunnel for me.

Go on grab some cash from under the matteress I’m assuming there are betting rules against a Mr Woald Rychereky sticking a £100,000 on and appointing Cotterill thus wiping out the clubs debts? A Mr Toney might be able to advise?
