Sort of related, but while I'd like us to ditch Jackett I think we'd be seen as a bit of a basketcase club if we did so before the end of the season given past appointments and dismissals.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 5:32 pm Gonna run in the minority but I’d keep him. After all the management changes we need a bit of consistency. As long as pick up enough points to stay clear of the bottom two, I’d give him the summer to reflect with the board wtf went wrong and to address that and then see where we are in October. Consistency is underrated from a short term view.
The problem is I can’t see who would want to come here with experience and work with the committee and DoF. Especially with our manager turnover, it doesn’t take long to get a reputation as a bit of a basket case club.

Where is Russell Slade . He pulled us out of the sh*t in the past so maybe he could do it again .ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 5:53 pm It's alright saying get rid, but who could do better at short notice?
I don't think there is anyone, so I'll keep Kenny
Squad depth, all was fine with the first choice XI but soon as he had to deviate from that we've been in trouble since. If losing your RB is enough to wreck the entire balance of the side that speaks volumes.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 6:57 pm The thing is - when he was appointed almost every person thought it was a good appointment. I know management is a results game but what’s changed, really? Less than 30 games isn’t a good sample size on any manager.
If we bought Harry Kane in and he had only scored 3 goals, you wouldn’t be saying we should get rid and look for a league one journeyman instead, you’d give him the benefit of the doubt that he’ll start scoring soon.
Agree - any manager would be struggling right now. I don’t put all the blame on the injuries. Kenny has under performed and if Nigel is to believed, Kenny has a key part to play in the transfer committee, but that’s the key area to change. We could get in any manager and they would stuggle. The manager is the easy person to blamegshaw wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 7:00 pmSquad depth, all was fine with the first choice XI but soon as he had to deviate from that we've been in trouble since.

Some of the decisions he’s made are baffling, I accept, but I’m guessing that’s what can happen under this sort of stress.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 6:57 pm The thing is - when he was appointed almost every person thought it was a good appointment.

Agree, however it’s probably too late now! Ling should have gone 2 years ago, we all know he won’t be discarded, Travis adores him!Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 7:07 pmSome of the decisions he’s made are baffling, I accept, but I’m guessing that’s what can happen under this sort of stress.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 6:57 pm The thing is - when he was appointed almost every person thought it was a good appointment.

I still don’t see how we can do any better. I’d get rid of Ling and the transfer committee and let Kenny do things like a proper football manager.
