Already it would appear certain sections of the fans are already unhappy over the choice of replacement to Andy King. Lets give the guy a chance. Before all pointing out the negatives lets look at the positives behind Iffy for manager even if only tempory. He knows the players, he is a former town player, a genuine nice guy and seems to handle the media much better than King. Hopefully the players who should also accept much of the blame for the poor start to the season will respond to Iffy and his modern approach to the game.

 Last of all I would like to thank Andy King for all his efforts. He to was a nice bloke if you ever met him, just stubbern and self rightious i'm afraid. Although he left on a low ebb lets not forget some of the players he did find for us in the likes of Parkin, Davis, Milner and Jackson. Oh and not forgetting Eric Sabin. Possibly the worst ever player in a town shirt!

The King is gone. Long live the King.

SINGING I I IFFY I I, SINGING I I IFFY I I.......................

well said. Iffy's got my total backing, we can only go upwards from here really!!!

in more than one sense.......

Fully behind Iffy....

I hope he does well, because he is a past player, one who did well for us he should get the respect of the fans and players.

Plus I think the players will 'fear' him more than they ever did King. I dont think Iffy is frightened of dropping a few 'key' players, where as King often wouldnt drop certain players

So is the end of 4-5-1 and players out of position? With Iffy can we expect an attacking approach to the game?

im behind him, as i back whoever is in charge.

but i do prefer kingy, i said that if any of the coaching staff take over it wouldn't be a step forward. in my opinion this isn't good and we have a 'brian tinnion' situation.

hopefully im wrong.

JACKSON??? :shock:  of all the things to thank king for, a shockingly overrated future tottenham reject isnt one of them.

good post otherwise though.

we shall see for the first time tomorrow night.
i hope he goes all out to win the game.

will be a big boost for the fans/players.

follow this by a win at Franchise and 10'000 will be there for the Vale game. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Think we have to - surely he's seen that trying to be containing isn't working, so hopefully Shakes and Nicolau will get a fair shout - he'd have loved two out-and-out wingers getting balls into the box for him, as no doubt Rory would like.

i fucking hope so...



now i think about it, matches wont be the same again... trying to figure out who's where, why the best players from the previous match have been dropped, why theres a right back on the left wing, WHY WHALLEY IS STILL GETTING A GAME...  :soapy tit wank:

Whalley is fucking shit, he has done nothing to impress me all season.  I hope Iffy selects "his" team tomorrow.  Let's take it to those south Yorkshire poofters.

Can someone clarify for me have we appointed Iffy as a permanent replacement to King or is he just standing in?

The official site seems to point to the latter and indicate that he's only 'handling day to day affairs'.

However the Adver seem to think he's all set to be unveiled as the next manager (if he hasn't already).

Mucho Cheers & source appreciated, linkage even better!

Thats exactly what i was thinking, he scored one good free kick and that was it!. I think he's signed permanently for Derby now?.

said the press conference, he is temp.....we'll wait and see how he does...

I hope he does well but id sooner have someone with a bit more experience, i just hope it isnt Atkins!.

Good luck Mr Iffy

It's a step backwards and another nail in the coffin of the club sadly.

Of course King would have guarenteed survival with his genius changing of tactics every single game and excellent witty post match comments!. :roll:

BWB - its not a backwards step, although I'm not really sure its a forward one either.

I dont see how you can say that when king was sacked with us 2nd bottom (on goal difference) with 5 straight defeats with a team that was entirely his.

I think you need to accept that king isnt/wasnt nearly as good as you make him out to be, although having said that he wasnt as bad as the KOB made him out to be either. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
