Where are the board? Absolutely silent about the dire results, and plummeting crowds. Nothing changes.

It’s the boards fault largely until we get new owners nothing will change

Yeah I’m in the camp of starting to feel sorry for Freckleton. At any normal club, he’d have been taken out of the firing line by now and protected from further poor form. But our remaining CB options are 2 continuously injured players who I assume we will be lucky to see start 5 games consecutively before the end of the season and another young CB who for some reason has had the opposite treatment from MK and been thrown under the bus.

For all the good that Sheffield United will apparently feel for Freckleton starting all these matches, I’m not sure it’s actually doing him any good. Yes part of these loans for young players is navigating themselves through poor bouts of form and Freckleton will no doubt learn a lot from this period to take forward in his career but there comes a point where continuously putting the player in positions where it’s killing their confidence is detrimental over developmental.

And that’s not even taking into account the point of view from the club where we’re clearly suffering from it as well.

A really rough situation on all sides. I understand why MK is continuously backing him in the media and showing faith by continuing to pick him.

Am I right in thinking Ling did? I remember he left because of mental health problems but couldn’t remember if a death of a parent was relating to it

Not sure about Ling losing a parent, but he had depression and anxiety hadnt he and had struggled before at other clubs.

For all Powers faults, Power paid him until the end of the season even though he left end of december, which was good of him

We got Hall to keep him company

Are you suprised though. So far it's only really worked with Glatzel and typically Kennedy doesn't seem to like him much.

Presumably not boyfriend material for his imaginary daughter.

Flynn's last 12 games for comparison: P12 W3 D2 L7, 11pts, 0.92 PPG... it's exactly the same.

Thank God for that, I thought we were getting worse  Beers

Hold on 4d. Gunning was in-between. What was his record?

Post Flynn, I think it's:
P18 W5 D5 L8 20pts, 1.11ppg

Damn.

Such a shame, remember us looking pretty competent under Ling. He was before my time as a player but my old man spoke very highly of him.

Note on power - I highly doubt Kiely and Austin would have paid Ling til end of season.

I loved Ling as a player, he was my favourite when i was a kid growing up.

I think he won 5 out of 9 iin charge or something like that

MK is just Jay-ing us now.

Seeing how much utter bullshit he can spout before someone pulls him up on it….

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that he’d quite welcome a sacking, and 18 months of pay whilst staying at home, and able to take his three boys and imaginary daughter to school.

It would explain the nonsense interviews, implausible tactics and catastrophic man management.

He gave a very open and honest interview with the BBC a few years ago.  I can't imagine what it must have been like to get what sounds like his absolute dream job, and feel the need to walk away from it.  I personally think that takes a lot of strength, not weakness (which sadly I'm sure some people see mental health struggles as).

They would tell us they have. Then pay him 6 months after he's gone... in club shop vouchers. That have expired.
