Yeah, new manager means fuck all right now tbh. Clubs a mess.

Waiting eagerly for this Clem update from aus that's been talked about.

Unfortunately true.

[Nemo]

I think the larger point is it while a good manager makes a difference, the cuts at the club, its overall poor set up etc will stop them really achieving anything.

I assumed he was planning to rise on Easter Sunday like the Messiah he is.

Pity we can't nail him to the cross tomorrow and see if its true.

This line suggests to me he is here for the long haul

so I think that going forward that is probably where we will be at until we can recruit again.”

That may also suggest so is the chairman

A shift from no tactics to tactics?

[tans]

[TailBetweenLegs]

Swear he said 2 weeks ago back 3 hasn’t worked all season that’s why he changed it

We have an assistant. Bit of pedigree, relatively speaking. Much more than Gunning has!

Worked with Darren Moore a lot, did wonder if that was a link but turns out he's just signed up for five and a half years at Port Vale!

Pretty much confirms Gunning is getting the job then & they are putting a set up together for him. That’ll be me completely done then.

Or Garner is coming back

Him, Russell and Shan all worked together at WBA

But as you say, looks like Gunning is in it for the long haul

[harrisonaw]

He said: “We have been speaking to Jimmy for a bit now, it is tough when you are trying to do everything by yourself, so Jimmy will give me a hand with that and I will be able to focus more on different aspects. It is a big help.

I thought he didn't want one. Get out, shambles.

[Frigby Daser]

I don’t read Shan’s appointment as an indicator that Gunning is staying in post. He’s a journeyman coach who’s bounced from one job to the next and I suspect will be here to make sure the last few games aren’t as much of a car crash as the preceding 30.

But the Garner link is interesting. It would be classicly lazy recruitment from Morfuni to use his black book of approximately 4 contacts in the entire EFL to appoint Garner, albeit much less lazy than it was to recruit Gunning.

I wonder if Garner is still being paid by Colchester and not taking a new job yet on that basis. Or just because he failed…?
