That's still not enough 🤣

No issue with Flynn. Big issue with Flynn + this squad. Total overhaul required.

[DMC]

Just need to accept it and get on with it.
50 / 50 with me but in all fairness no stand out candidates.

100% this for me Duke. For every candidate there will be reason to doubt, i am glad we have at least gone for a manager who has experience of the league

Even fucking better

Hatswell number two ?

Has it been confirmed anywhere or still heresy

Agree that an overhaul is now needed, however I’m convinced we could get Pep in and he would struggle to get anything out of the current squad, therefore not too concerned with an overhaul being needed. Yes, not ideal, but out of every squad we’ve had in the past few seasons (barring the dreadful 20/21 season) this is the squad most in need of an overhaul.

Which boxes?

Experienced at league 2 level, capable of putting together a competitive side and a different direction to where we are.

As I said, wouldn’t have been my first choice but if the rumours are to be believed that it was out of Artell, Cowleys and Flynn then all come with their own degrees or risk for varying reasons and where we are right now, I’m not sure who we could attract that didn’t have that.

Wouldn’t have minded Artell but he had the risk of only one prior job and as has been mentioned before could potentially have gotten lucky with a good crop of players coming through the academy at one time. Wouldn’t mind either of Cowleys or Flynn, certainly not going to be snobby on playing style and hold that against them as we’ve seen that it can get results, however both have blots on their records from prior job and there’s the risk of our current squad not being set up to play like that at all and needing ripping up (not that I’m against that).

So there’s risk factors to beat any of the options with if they were to get the job if you really wanted to. It’s fair enough to note those risks but to label any of them as “worst appointment we could make” is a bit of a stretch I’d say. Plenty of worse options about.

To be fair the same was true of Ossie, except he just trusted the same players to play.

We all thought that we needed to add a couple of big Center Backs, a tough tackler in midfield & a big striker anyway.

Looking back in time how many managers have the majority really been happy with!

Experience of never getting out of the league!

How many seasons without getting promoted before your experience means fuck all is the question? I'm being harsh there for sure, i know he got to the PO twice with Newport. But you get the point.

Hatswell number two ?

Yes mate. As you know though that could change in 20 minutes

We have to be realistic though. What are the alternatives and also look at who he got there with. He also managed to turn a very technical player like Twine into something special as well

Did worse than us this season. Name a realistic worse appointment
