Come on Charlie

What you have to remember is how much money is being spent. The ** inside is desperate to keep them up, you need good players don’t think Adam will do that.

On the grounds that he talks wisely about football and has done since he was with us. He is thoughtful and wants to get on in management. I said in 2010 that he'd manage us one day and I still believe that. As for the Cods, Pep couldn't get much of a tune out of that club.

What were you basing that on in 2010? Sorry, Charlie was class for us as a player but being a great player doesn’t make a great manager and the guy is thick as two short planks. He certainly wasn’t being thoughtful when he chose to drink drive. People need to get over this obsession of constantly linking us with ex players. Is it 1 win in 7 so far at Fleetwood? You can say not even Pep could get a tune out of that club but he took the job and they’re seemingly the only ones offering him a managerial position so what does that tell you

I mean what I say. Watching his interviews on the season dvd (2009/10) I liked how he spoke about football. I see no reason why he can't succeed like Evo has.

‘66, they can all talk the talk mate, you never hear a manager come to a new club and say this is a disaster, we will be lucky if we survive.
They all must be given a book once they’ve earned their coaching badges.
Entitled:- “How to appeal to owners and supporters”
Phrases like:-
“This is a great club, steeped in history and I’m honoured to be a part of it”
“The supporters at this club are magnificent, probably the best in the Country”
“The owner of the club has plans to progress and I want to be part of that journey”
“This club will win trophies “
Etc, etc, etc.
Next time a manager takes over at whatever club I guarantee his first interview will contain some of the above.

We hear it too many times, “he spoke very well so will be good for us.” when actually it means naff all.

Imagine:-
“The owner is a tosser and a tight fcuker as well”
“The squad players are lazy and don’t give a monkey’s as long as they are getting paid.”
“I’ve never know a more fickle bunch of supporters in my life”
I personally would take interviews with a pinch of salt.

You sounded like the perfect fit in the first half of your post. 😁
 
Away at Brizzle Rovers tonight and hope the 32 Cods fans aren't emptying their car boots to bring back 3 points!
 
I’d take him in the future if he proves himself. Football is a results business but it’s to early for him at our place at the moment.like some have said his win ratio is awful at this moment in time.
As for playing for six clubs in. Scotland he also played for a few in England, his most successful period being with us.
Good luck to him he’s giving it a go.

Win ratio is awful ?. You talk like he's been in charge for months . 3 games undefeated including 2 wins , none conceded is already a huge turnaround for where Fleetwood were a month or so back

Nothing of the sort, I was quoting another poster on his win ratio. I was merely saying I’d take him in the future in answer to other posts depending on what he does not was he’s done in three games.

I don’t even bother listening to what a new player has to say when we’ve signed them “err yeah just happy to err be here err big club” bit like critchley presser every week “err yeah they’re a hard working team err tough to beat err we need to concentrate on our own game” when really in the back of his head he’s thinking “I’m gonna give this 5,3,2 formation another shot this week if we do the same thing we have all season it’ll totally throw them off guard”

Nothing no do of course that our game was a Saturday afternoon and this one was a Tuesday night and a team who were bottom of the league.
I doubt anymore than 200 Pool fans would have made the trip on a Tuesday night so the comparison we took hundreds more makes it sound rather silly.

Let's just see how many we take to Cheltenham next week. I'd bet its a lot more than 200 and it's only about 40 miles less.

I’m not denying or saying anything about the Cheltenham game for one minute.

It’s just the comparison you made earlier given one game was a Saturday and one was a Tuesday night was unfair.

Not like you though to have a dig is it. 😉

Of course not 😉
 
I think the Cods problem is that the two teams above the bottom 4 are Reading and Charlton and can't see either of them going down and then you have Burton who are 7 points ahead of them. Still a chance but miracles needed.
