Yeah I get he's experienced and tbh he's quite funny and has more personality than Appleton on show.
I’m thinking more being solidly organised so we are not so vulnerable on transition in the middle and defending with more of a low block. 4-4-2 is obviously an option with these players too.
It should of been November?u only changed ur tune about Appleton last week,up until then u wanted him to stay
He may only be until the end of the season at which point we can re-evaluate. I wouldn't be happy with him long term, but there's only a limited number of managers with plenty of championship experience we could get imo, because most will be beyond our budget or currently employed.
Absolutely, although I’d switch Husband for Williams and bring Thompson in.
I did you're right, but his position became untenable and in hindsight he should. have gone then so we had time to settle a new manager in and give him the World Cup break to be with the players. I also said I didn't want him at all from the off, he was a terrible appointment but he was and he deserved a chance, which he was never given.
Critchball EXTREME in essence.
We now have an excess of wingers if McCarthy plays wingbacks and they all end up on the bench. That would be incompetent from Mansford and his team.
That's a really good write up to be fair
Can't wait, Connolly can't pass and Madine and Beesley can't score, bring it on!!
This would be pretty mad, they must have know Appleton would require massive changes to work, but they wouldn't have wanted that as it would cost. Was that thought through? Halfway down that path we change again.
Could be anything. But the end of the day Phil we stay up because of it we stay up. You've got a Blackpool season ticket, not a Josh Bowler season ticket. He's Nottingham Forest's player.
I agree about picking managers, they couldn’t pick their nose. Having said that we need someone in asap, before the window closes, to give the new man a few days to assess what we have and what he thinks we need before the end of this month. McCarthy is at least experienced in the Championship and is available, just to try and keep us up. Then reassess and look for a replacement with a longer term vision.
What do you hope to gain by constantly sticking the knife into Sadler?
Yeah the Ramsay thing is strange but I'm not convinced we have approached him, unless it was to take over at the end of the season. Giving a chance to an untried manager is something that interests me normally because yes it's a risk but the rewards could be great. I don't think it would be a good time to do it, although having said that it's worked for Middleborough.See my post 321...
That's the number not me counting down
But how does he fit our sqaud? Maybe he's more adaptable than his known style.
Madine 6’4”, Rogers 6’4”, Beesley 6’2” for starters. I know it’s stretching things a bit calling big Gaz an athlete, but you get my gist.
Holloway has done sod all except talk for years. And people on here think MM is a has been?
He’s experienced enough to adapt and get tge best out of what we have. If he does need height we have Madine & Rogers both 6’4” and Beesley 6’2” that’s a start.
A front two of Madine and Beesley would not inspire me but you never know!!Madine 6’4”, Rogers 6’4”, Beesley 6’2” for starters. I know it’s stretching things a bit calling big Gaz an athlete, but you get my gist.
Shot putters are athletes. Take it up with the Olympic committee not me.Madine 6’4”, Rogers 6’4”, Beesley 6’2” for starters. I know it’s stretching things a bit calling big Gaz an athlete, but you get my gist.
If it wins games, yes.
It's my dream. Gaz and YTS Gaz.
Nor me, I am just answering your query regarding height.
Or.. and it's looking more and more less likely now, or it's all bollox.
Maybe it's right for us.....but... hmmmmm.
And at Ipswich he took gates from 18,000 down to 12,000 with boring football. Every game he'd say he would be happy with a draw. Last week Ipswich had 29,000 for a league 1 game.
Thank you Ted RodgersSee my post 321...
That's the number not me counting down
after a season or two things have gone wrong but his record taking over struggling sides, organising and galvanising them to get results is second to none. Short term contract to keep us up.
CJ is over 6 feet as well. Can't head a ball thoughHe’s experienced enough to adapt and get tge best out of what we have. If he does need height we have Madine & Rogers both 6’4” and Beesley 6’2” that’s a start.

it is more lets get the man we want long term Ramsay, knocked back by UTD, nobody else ticking the boxes so rather than make a rash appointment, get a stop gap in with a rather good record of keeping struggling teams up, step forward Big MickOr.. and it's looking more and more less likely now, or it's all bollox.
Nixon says its MM, sun reports it, then the other sites report that, not to miss out, its gathering pace and sky report it so its fact. It can happen and be bollox like it did with Rosenior.
But I think we know.... this would be just the appointment we didn't expect really so makes it likely.
Then the random man u guy in between.. If true.
"OK were going for Critchley type again... oh he's failed, let's ditch the up and coming coach type and go for an older head who won't really inspire people, at least initially and who's known style doesn't seem to fit with our squad."
Possible but odd.
Who knows.
Surely they should have known if the other guy was available first.... they've had plenty of time.
He met with the board twice
Forget Holloway, hes finished.
