Jobi

Apparently Martin Ling loves Jobi.

Apparently Martin Ling loves Jobi.

Most of us do.

I wouldn't be against it, the man's a born winner and leader.

Another inexperienced bloke at the helm ,no thanks .

You think given his history in the game he does not have the ability to step up now!

Know who also had a good history in the game? Carl Fletcher.

Many didn't during his first spell at the club. 'NotAnuff' was his moniker then.

Could Jobi drop people like Coulson, Ling, Happe? He may have to. Is he too nice?

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Not Jobi, please. We’ve spent the last 18 months or so witnessing what an inexperienced manager is like. Jobi is a bona fide club hero and a great human being but he’s not what we need right now. Imagine if it goes horribly tits up and ends up getting the boot? That would be terrible, given the almost universal love for Jobi here.

He’ll be a great manager one day, I’m sure. But he has to learn his craft first.

750 games from international games to NL and being captain in the Premier League suggests to me he has an in-depth knowledge of football, formations, tactics and how to lead. We can see he is a leader. I doubt the step up the Manager will phase him. I’ve no doubt the players already respect him, his knowledge and what he has to say.

Just because he’s played a lot of games, at whatever level, is irrelevant.

No. Of course he could handle that.

[PutneyO]

Yep, it will be him until the end of the season.

I also think it will be Jobi till the end of the season but will RE be his assistant ?

[Sid Bishop]

Yep, it will be him until the end of the season.

I also think it will be Jobi till the end of the season but will RE be his assistant ?

IMO highly unlikely that there will be a quick return for Ross on the Os coaching staff.

[BIGRON]

Yep, it will be him until the end of the season.

The club tweeted that they had parted company with Ross , so I presume he's no longer at the club

Maybe. But the fact remains that he’s never managed anything, and that’s the issue. No-one, least of all me, is doubting his footballing experience. But he’s never so much as managed an under-11’a side.

If he thinks it will save his job, he will

[Still wrong]

Thinking about it it’s got to be him.
Probably taking his sciemetric test as we speak.

Called it.

But not going to mention all of the others you also called?

Well, the last bloke we had in charge who had managed kids' football didn't do so well, so I don't think it's a great qualification for the role

[OyinbO]

He's had to do a fair bit this season. The players listened to him an awful lot more than they did to Ross.

And that has been a success how?

The second half against Newport is the most obvious example.

Let’s put it this way, we’d be in a lot worse position without him.

And I’ve a feeling that this thread will have some legs yet

[Give it to Jabo]

Wonder if he will pay himself on Tuesday??
Wish you well, whatever....
