Kmac

Wilsons resigned, not sacked

They could be on in the same though, walk with £x in your pocket or stay and be sacked with £y termination.

Anyway, surprising if true. Hope this is football related rather than health or other personal issues.

Warnock In?

Jed's defence of K-mac on Twitter stinks of desperation, doesn't it?

What else is he going to say?

"oooooops sorry lads my m8 told me e woz gd, gnna sack him 2moro ROAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR"

[Costanza]

Didn't have any sense of desperation.

McCrory's problem is that he's embraced Twitter and now some essentially expect/demand a daily Q&A. Otherwise, he's 'in hiding' and the fans who 'demand answers' to everything.

Surely he should just tweet that he's going to tell him to play 4-4-2 in the next 4 games

ironically those who demand answers have absolutely no interest in his answers. vicious cycle

Suddenly looking forward to Saturday  ,

Got to say i am dissapointed at the way things have gone under K Mac so far......but come on lets give him a decent amount of time.

Even Paolo took 6 odd matches to get a win.....K Mac has won at Coventry and Yeovil...good away wins.
If he gets us promotion and it is a big if then a few people are going to have the proverbial egg wiping session.

At the seasons end is a good time to judge,not now i reckon.

In general I don't disagree, but Paolo won his first game 3-0. We did wait a while for the next league win mind...

We didn't deserve to win that either though. We were woeful that day, not many teams can say that when winning 3-0 though.

Warnock will be in charge by Friday, response from the team.  That will get them over the line.

It's alright people moaning about the Jed twitter thing, but when the board or management are not talking about what is going on then people are bound to jump on any word, whether it be twitter, rumour or whatever.

Love them or hate them, the communication is piss poor with the new lot, board and management.  They are not making it easy to support their efforts at the moment.  Form has totally flipped since they took charge and they are not saying a word about it.

It hardly fills you with confidence does it, and they wonder why dickheads are tweeting shit like that earlier in the thread.  Even in the bad times with the old lot, you at least were being informed about what was going on.

We were relegated with the old board, but there was far less discontent because we were all in the picture, even though we were bottom of the league.  Here we are sat 6th in the league, seemingly free falling, but still in a great position but because there is no communication people are quicker to attack.

A lot of problems can be alleviated by good communication, or at least adverse reaction to those problems anyway.

Agree with most of that Berni, not sure there was less discontent when Hart was here mind.

Kevin McDonald was not (in my opinion) the best choice of manager especially at this stage of the season. Parallels have and will continue to be drawn between him and Maurice Malpas. It wasn't that long ago after all.

I've got nothing against Kmac and really hope he starts getting some wins but it's obvious to me he was brought in as a safe and cheap option that would not challenge the board. The thing that annoys me is we've been down this route before with a coach getting his first managerial position (Malpas) and it turned out to be an utter failure.

Why did the board appoint someone who at 52 had never managed a football club before? (other than a caretaker role) Was he really the best man for the job at this stage of the season? His assistant Mark Cooper's recent stats in terms of management are terrifying - he managed non-league AFC Telford United this year (in charge for 5 games, lost 4 and drew 1).

We tend to do better with mavericks like Macari, Hoddle, Di Canio etc at early stages of their managerial careers. There's always going to be risk with those type of appointments but I'd prefer we took a gamble on a big name former player than Maurice Malpas (Mark 2).

There was discontent at Hart, but not much towards the club or board, even though we were going down with a wimper.

It wasn't Malpas' first managerial job in charge, he was Motherwell boss previously.

Not very successfully mind you
