I honestly don't think any manager would get much out of this bunch of misfits. Granted Flynn and Gunning haven't been great, but the squad is a mess and the majority of players are not good enough for the top end of League 2. That added with inadequate training facilities, we're in the situation we're in. It'll only get worse next season with Clem in charge.
The squad is a mess because it’s unbalanced and missing key ingredients. Still think we have decent players in the squad. Like I genuinely think to drop an experienced CB & a decent DM in this squad and we 8-10 places higher. The off field side of things needs a massive reboot - all of it. Sort out the midfield & the squad is ok (although I have no doubt most contracts will expire and it’ll be a completely different squad come August & again in January & again in August etc) |

^ This. Plus we always seem to be chasing our tail when it comes to signing players.

Yes, the squad is unbalanced but equally you work with what you have got, we have the players to play 4-3-3 but the tactics Gunning wants to employ at times is 4-2-4 or 4-1-5 the tactic seems to be we will outscore the opposition, and knock it long and direct.
Gunning is not the answer - whatever the question is
Wouldn't it be good for Clem to decide that Gunning is out of his depth and appoint a new manager with coaching team, for the run in so they can evaluate the squad and make a decision on who they feel it is right to keep.
Sadly decisions on players will be made by the sporting director, and either Gunning will be given the job as "he has not had the correct tools to use but we have seen enough to suggest he will do a good job" or a new manager will be found appointed late after the job has been turned down due to being told he will have one of the lowest budgets.
Will no chance of arranging his own pre-season, players signed that do not fit into his style of play so he is forced to play a certain way and use the players he has been given until they are all sold in January and we sign another 11 players.

Similarly to Morris, he's been left in a shit situation but still done absolutely fucking shite with the shit hand he was dealt.

I wouldn't be confident instructing that man to run a bath, let along fix one. Horrendous planning and decision making skills. |

If they are serious about getting out of this league, go get Fatty Evans.

Yea, we're definitely not getting a manager from a team in the League 1 playoffs. |

We’ll get a completely unproven first time manager (and one with credentials more reflecting Gunning than Garner) or an absolute dreg off of the carousel
The clubs reputation is an absolute joke, and talk must travel. No serious manager, or one with designs on being one, will touch us with a barge pole

Is it feasible that Gunning goes back to his initial day job as loans manager, or a coach and we promote the academy manager, who's stock must have gone up after the season with the yoofs?

Khan has obviously be binned. Maybe his attitude is down to not going to AFCON, not going to Wrexham or maybe Ramadan has something to do with it.
I am sure it was similar last season during Ramadan that he didnt play whole games or evening games during the month. |
