fittons latest announcement-fair play imo

[Don Rogers Shop]

Seriously Dv you are starting to sound worse than Bart. Do you not think that we are trying to get one. There is obviously a reason why we have not got anyone yet.
 

[flammableBen]

I think DV's gone a bit mental.

Started to like the look of his own shouty CAPSLOCKS a bit too much.

Cake DV Cake.

[DV]

Well, heres a novel idea Rich

He could appoint a manager.

[Melksham Red]

I agree with DV and pauld here. After watching that latest dross on saturday, Fitton needs to shut the fuck up and deliver us a manager now. The excuses are wearing thin. Don't get me wrong, Fitton is a legend for saving this club but it does not make him exempt from criticism when he fucks up.

[juddie]

I'm inclined to agree with MR, CV and PD. This is bad, really bad, and procrastinating is killing us... we're in danger of turning fans against the board once again - sad, but true, but on the pitch without a manager we're clueless, gutless and devoid of any ideas.

We need a manager before leyton Orient & Brighton otherwise we're writing off six points.

I am starting to wonder, yes

Its taken too long as it is - we got told last week they had their man or that it was down to two. A week on and we still have no one and now we are being told we wont have anyone before Christmas.

[juddie]

Look, Fitton will always be our saviour, but in this instance we have to act and act fast. We can't afford to lose our next two games, and we will with Byrne at the helm.

I just can't help thinking we need to appoint someone out of work to avoid the compensation madness.

[bullethead]

Like everyone else (including Mr Fitton no doubt), I am frustrated and concerned that we still don't have a manager but I'm sure there have been valid reasons why supposed nailed on appointments have fallen through. Maybe I'm naive but I still have faith in those running STFC and trust them to get it right.

As for Steve Butt at the Adver, his 'comment' in Saturday's paper came across as nothing more than the rantings of a tin-pot local journo trying to get all 'hard-hitting'. Utter bobbins.

[juddie]

I just think needs must. When Malpas was fired we had time to look around and Fitton was right to shop around. Now he must realise we don't have that luxury. The situation has been made worse by Byrne and the players inability to win games and  I believe if we wait til January to appoint a new manager we'll be in the bottom three with confidence utterly shattered.

[herthab]

It's a shame that Fitton is a good guy and has morales that he sticks to.

If he was a sneaky, underhanded bastard, we'd have had a replacement lined up before Malpas left.

[juddie]

Not at all, I think Fitton played a good game and was right to scour the market. It's simply that five weeks ago we had time and now we don't. Our results have taken that luxury away.

[herthab]

I've got to leave my office and go to Castle Cary and Frome.

I'll be back at around 5pm, by which time I fully expect Fitton to have announced the new manager.

[STFC_Gazza]

Yeah that was it. Was totally uncalled for in my opinion

I saw it, I think the words clown etc were used when talking about Fitton saying it is pantomime season and the ringleader is Fitton or something along those lines.

 I'm always impressed by the fact Castle Cary, has a station with 3 platforms and two lines.

 Back in the early 80's before the dead hand of Thatcher reached out and finally killed off the railways in Britain...there used to be a mega, mega ace, special summer train from Swindon to Weymouth...complete with name board for the class 37 that was in harness....The Weymouth Wizard. The Wizard set off early morn and then returned late evening,just right for a day on the beach...

 The Wizard did a sort of Betjemanesque route via Chippenham, Trowbridge, not forgetting Dilton Marsh, Westbury, Frome, on to Castle Cary via Bruton. At Castle Cary there often seemed to be a delay for an up train from Taunton. Still there are worse things in the world than sitting about in rural Somerset for 10 or so minutes.

 The Wizard was invariably packed with happy campers, but the Thatcherites didn't like the idea of having rolling stock kicking around not doing much so sent the lot to the breakers.

 The sidings out down back of Rodbourne, became full of Class 31's 33's  and 40's and just waiting for the cutters torch...gave the buggers in the Works something to do before it too went to the knackers yard.
