When can we get a decent manager in 💩
When Ross is sacked he will go back to coaching (which he is excellent at) because no one thinks his done a good job and will want to have him as there manage.
I would get jobi in as manager until the rest of the season and see what results are like.

But we have improved since last season, despite a squad half full of NL players. So I think he is doing quite well and we can do without your Beelzebub-like sacking ideas.

Re: When can we get a decent manager in
You have a look at the list of available managers. Most of them will have 1 or 2 failures/sackings on their CV.
There's a lot of out of work managers, but not many successful ones.

We may have improved over where we were last season but you have to take into account that quite a few clubs have games in hand over us.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 4:09 pm But we have improved since last season, despite a squad half full of NL players.

If we had a proven, experienced Manager at this level or above we would be nailed on at this moment in time for at least the play offs if not automatic promotion.
No good having players of a good standard for this division or above (obviously Son Of DOF excluded) and having a Manager that who is neither proven or experienced and clearly just isn’t up to the job.

I'm against getting a successful manager in. It just wouldn't be the same without someone to vilify every week and occasionally twice a week.

He will be OK when he has completed his training programme. In the meantime we must be patient and be prepared to watch utterly boring football most of the time. It’s the new normal.

Re: When can we get a decent manager in
Totally agree with that last point. The last two games we played under Senda were amongst our better efforts. I wonder if the players respond to him and his knowledge better. When 10 words are needed he chooses 10 good ones. Ross probably uses 25 and confuses the hell out of those who can stay awake.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 4:36 pmLot of guessing in your comment, but if any of this does come to pass before the end of this season ( doubtful that it will happen like this )scottychamps wrote: ↑Sun Feb 07, 2021 4:04 pm When Ross is sacked he will go back to coaching (which he is excellent at) because no one thinks his done a good job and will want to have him as there manage.

Re: When can we get a decent manager in
Ross is scared of his own shadow, hence the defensive cautious approach.
I really like the bloke, but he'll never make a manager.NEVER. Its like watching the team under Steve Davis again

One person compares Embleton to Davis yesterday and suddenly the hard of thinking are out in force banswagonning the same thing 
Where did Davis get us in the table and where has Embleton?

Danny Johnston has wallpapered over the cracks as far as Ross is concerned. Take Danny's goals away, and then see where we would be in the league

Re: When can we get a decent manager in
FWIW I don't think Embleton and Davis are similar at all - but worth observing that Davis inherited a total shitshow, whereas Embleton inherited a team & club with a lot of forward momentum. I know JE's death was a massive setback, but the whole point of putting RE in charge was that he could carry forward all the good work in motion and keep the same spirit and culture.

Re: When can we get a decent manager in
I can see Ross staying as manager till the end of the season then being demoted to coach whist a new face comes in . No doubt it will rustle a few feathers on here but that's the way I see it .

There is no evidence that Senda has the makings of a good manager.
If they sack Ross ( which I don’t believe they should) then we will have to look outside.
I don’t think moving Ross back to coaching will be of any benefit to anyone.
I think Ross will get there in the end but it’s painful to watch.

Re: When can we get a decent manager in
There is no way of Embleton being demoted back to coach as he accepted the job that there was no safety net back to coach, can’t see Nigel and Kent going back on the deal and losing their credibility.
