great cup run , stayed up, signed a few decent players in January, and got some decent cash in from transfers awful season please go and support Bolton Wanderers and come back when reality kicks in If you think "staying up" is an achievement after finishing 3rd and pocketing the best part of £4m, maybe it's you who needs a dose of reality in terms of expectation. As I've said plenty of times, never expected us to win the league or anything silly but 7th-12th should've been do-able. It's embarrassing how Ricketts has your undisputed support since you had an invite to his little chat. Members of the board literally can't say anything remotely negative without you jumping down their throat. why not check if I supported rickets before I met him instead of making s**t up

This group of players have underperformed regardless of who the manager was. Ricketts did bring in some quality in his only transfer window so far, so it will be interesting to see who he brings in. I agree that he would benefit from an experienced assistant but he will be our manager at the start of next season.

On a more serious note, although far from convinced I think we have to give Ricketts a go at next season now.
We're staying up, he's pulled a few decent results out of the bag on the road, and we can only hope he rapidly grows into the role.
Seem to be in the minority but I'm against the 'experienced assistant' idea.
Will do nothing but undermine Ricketts. Imagine taking on a new managerial job and then the company sending a senior member of staff from head office to hold your hand!
If we wanted a more experienced manager (and we could barely have got anyone less experienced) we should have appointed one.

Surely ricketts doesn't have to be a rocket scientist, to know that we want a decent goalie, centre half, and decent striker for next season---the rest will fall into place---I hope!!!

I'm not 100% sure but I think if he goes we are going to star a new season with upheaval again. If he stays hopefully he will work on improving the team and get them working hard in both halfs. So by that I've talked myself in to voting stay.

I’ve always said if he keeps us up he deserves a chance to build a team. We need to write this season off and just regroup and rebuild that’s the fans and management

If we wanted a more experienced manager (and we could barely have got anyone less experienced) we should have appointed one. I thought it would have helped when he first came in but I'm with you now, I think. Easy to say he's young and might benefit from an experienced hand alongside him but I'm not sure we'd need Coyne and Ramsay as well if we did that. Unless there's a good candidate lined up to take on that job, I'd prefer to go with the coaching team we have. Give them the summer with a reformed squad and then let's see where we are at the end of October.

So then with results today seeming to go our way and without a monumental goal swing on the last game of the season we should be safe, I think it’s a good time to see where we all line up after this dreadful season. Has Ricketts done enough for you to stay in charge and build a squad to compete next year or do we need to thank him for his services but move in another direction? What are people’s thoughts? Totally ridiculous thread. He doesn’t fill me with confidence but of course he should stay and given the first 10/12 games of the season to prove himself with his own squad and a pre season to get them to play how he wants them to. I’m glad the powers that be at GM aren’t quite as trigger happy as some our our ‘supporters’. What i I do want to see though change from this season is (a)team that aren’t tired from playing 3 games in 14 days, and (b) to stick with a settled team and stop this needless squad rotation. I do feel that an experienced number 2 would be the best signing he could make during the close season.

I always vote Remain and see no reason to change that. Do we really need a summer of folk on here talking about high profile managers who would not look at us even though they have probably been sacked by another under performing club. Any such manager would need to rely on the existing coaches to decide who to keep and who to release ( I could help with the latter). He may wish to decide on a different formation/style of play which would entail another dozen coming through the door. Stick with a man who knows what each player can or can’t do and is happy to give our promising youngsters their chance.

His transfer dealings so far, admittedly in the January window which is more difficult to work in, have been as much if not more 'miss' than they have been 'hit'. He will definitely need to up his game in terms of his transfer dealings this summer given the likely high turnover of playing staff before next season.

The advantage that Ricketts will have over Askey, is that our season finishes on the 4 May and he won't expect to lose key players to an ex-manger.
He will, or should have a good pre-season, which hopefully enable us to consolidate in mid-table next season.

Take your tongue out of Ricketts arse Pilch, it's embarrassing. this chap has not got a good word to say about anything Shrewsbury Town related the club is rotten to the core according to him the manager is rubbish the players are rubbish he even has an avatar having a go at the club and now hes having a go at those supporting the club next week, he'll spend 90 minutes starring at walsall fans and singing his sectarian songs that in his opinion are perfectly ok and then he'll go home a jump on you tube to watch the fighting again is that fan of the season voting still open ? talking of "making s**t up" ...

Tvor, I know he will need more than that, but get the spine of the team right first.hurst done exactly that last season---Henderson,nsiala, Morris, then just added bits around it. On saying that all the players worked there socks off, and were very fit, unlike this season, were we've been blowing through our arses for most of the season, and that's up to ricketts to sort that out straight away no messing

When he came in most fans would have been satisfied with consolidating and pushing on next season.
He has done part one so deserves a chance at part two.
He has grown as a manager since joining us. He has learnt from his mistakes and it all came together at the right time after a poor start.
He is inexspierenced but I think he derseves a chance.

He’s kept us up when 6 weeks ago it was 50-50 whether we’d go dowm.
I reckon he’s learned a lot and will continue to do so.

If the results today had not swung our way the reply’s on here would be totally different. We stayed up despite him not because of him. Not yet convinced he is the man for the job but guess next season we shall see.

The question is has the football with the players he has bought in improved our league position or are we easier on the eye to watch. IMO we are bang average in most departments. Pilch the pressures off I’m delighted were safe , I’m pleased we have league 1 football to look forward to next season but is this because of Ricketts the jury is out.

but nothing is new
the jury is always out with any manager at the start of a season, at any club and that includes managers that were heroes only a few months back
at this stage the aim was to stay up we've done it
lets move onto the next stage
a lot of Norwich fans wanted their manager sacked earlier in the season he's just got them promoted they will be calling for his head again soon and he'll get sacked
we all know how it works
but only the foolish change a manager who is currently going to plan
