In my opinion what Town have been going through is an update of the current managerial concept. In that process the purpose of the last season was to raise expectations and this season its to forse us to look for new management ideas as we will probably FIGHT FOR STAYING UP. TOUGH START TO THE SEASON, frustration As i think last season was about raising expectations, the squad got huge support in the form of late winners that got us many wins by one goal without playing well. This season its about analyzing, creating new ideas. We need to question footballs long held assumptions as imo current managerial concept has outlived its usefulness and to speed up the process we are being denied to progress, to win games. We'll stay in relegation zone and keep getting injuries and soft penalties untill we bring the right man |

MM's record before sacking W2 D4 L5 10 points from 11 games
JA so far W1 D4 L4 7 points from 9 games
I predict 13 - 15 points by Xtmas with or without JA

I think our situation is similar to that of Bradford when they brought David Hopkin, our favorite to replace PH before the name of Askey emerged.
I'm not sure the new manager will be better.
In my opinion the algorithm of the manager selection process is clearly outdated and without some improvements in that area we won't be able to stop the slump. For me that's the main reason why we've had so many historic Premier League sides in lower divisions.

80 applications? I cant believe there are so many qualified experienced managers. If that's true we must be the most coveted football club in Europe, well ahead of Real Madrid and Man United.
Needless to say that if you want to do well you should learn from mistakes, yours and others. In that sense Bradford example would be very helpful, what if the new manager will not be able to deliver results, will it take weeks to find a replacement, or we'll just give up. Taking time is no guarantee that the right person will be brought. JA was also the right man, up and coming, ambitious, hungry.
I think we need to start preparing an alternative, a quick solution , just in case to save time and obviously the season

Someone said we needed luck in managers interview, i would say if you hope for the luck you usually wont get it.
The fact that he did well in Wrexham doesnt mean he will do the same here. Town is not an easy club to manage and i think it will be very hard for SR to succeed here.
It may not take too many games to realize that we havent brought the right man.
I would expect a long long bad run and a new man in charge, lets say, in February

I dont think bringing new players in January makes sense cause like many have said we have a good squad that needs only the right manager to take the best out of them.
Moreover the manager that could bring them might be gone in a couple of months

W1 D3 L2 thats a point per game
A disappointing draw against a side that has one of worst away record
Teams below us are pushing hard
Transfer window will be waste of time and money
Relegation beckons

I think we have a better performance in cups and a possible good result against Stoke would only mislead us.
It seems unlikely that a good run in cups will have a positive effect in league which should be our priority

Looks like everything goes by the plan and SR will be sacked next month. But i dont think anybody from the 79 applications list would help us to stay up. We are just being punished for not learning from mistakes |

Oh come on don't make yourself even more of a plonker than what you are. Get real. Teams don't "PLAN" to fail.

Teams fail because they take poor decisions, sign wrong managers, players, friends etc. Exactly. But they do not plan to fail like you quoted. |

Someone said recently: "We cant afford to keep paying off managers so need to stick with Ricketts but someting got to change soon we cant keep changing the team and blaming poor recruitment".
We've been doing the same things over and over again expecting different results and we cant do that. If we stick with Ricketts we'll get relegated cause it wasnt going to work and now we need to learn the lesson both JA and SR have taught us and try to do it differently.
We cant afford a third "successful manager" in one season

I think JA was sacked by fans, not by club |

I'm sure Hurst is not the answer.
Actually i think we shouldnt look for easy solutions, its not going to work

It seems unlikely that a good run in cups will have a positive effect in league which should be our priority I see it as " lose the battle but win the war " game. A win will put off SR sacking and we will definitely get relegated. A draw and two losses after the win at Stoke should have taught us something. Many have said we struggle because SR has no L1 experience. Totally disagree, i think he is just not the right manager for Town |

What a vote of confidence in the new man, NOT. Still NOT? But the fact remains, you had already written him off on the 8th December. Ricketts had barely had time to get his feet under the table and you were already predicting that he would be gone by February. |

I assure you it will lead to an outcome with less bloodshed. |

Do you prefer giving wrong managers as much time as they ask, would be the best way to ruin the club in my opinion. We could be top 6 at least had we chosen the right man |

We could be top 6 at least had we chosen the right man So ok then, who is the right man for the job? I think its not who, but What. We need to have a certain philosophy, style of play, transfer policy regardless of the managers. The idea that club could develop should be more important than managers who we know come and go too often these days. Adam Henshall said: " When you change your manager , you change your system, shape, recruitment - everything changes from top to bottom. " Ian Atkins said before Wolves away game: " Sometimes managers come in and rip the thing to pieces. " Its like building a stadium, you cant have 3 - 4 different builders, only one. As to the managers/coaches there are many of them. If its possible to predict a wrong one, then we can find the right man |
