Jackett is great at this level. Who are you expecting to see on the list?

Novel spelling, but I've got to give you a like for nincompoop. Refreshing change from the usual wanker, c**t, arsehole, etc.

can't agree with you there, definitely prefer the more industrial profanity.

Whilst you can't ignore the state the club is in I really don't believe our budget and setup is so bad we should be a relegation candidate, let alone cast adrift at the bottom.

We still have a cat 2 academy, we still have Ryton and despite sinking crowds we must have a half decent budget compared to others in the league.

There's either something going on we don't know about and, as hard as it is to imagine, things are even worse behind the scenes than we thought, or Slade has massively underperformed. Things were bad under Mowbray and Venus but we've got worse since Slade came in.

Can't imagine there's any thought of a new manager keeping us up so we might as well start looking to next season.

Looks like its going to be Robins again.

I would also be happy with Robins, but the others are uninspiring in my view.

I thought Slade was the man for the job, I really did. Clearly the results didn't support that opinion.

However, the glaring truth for me is that if you've gone through the number of managers that we have and still not found one that works, then the root cause of the problem probably isn't the manager!

plus wait and see how TM does with blackburn and if slade gets a new job how he does if they both do well well then!

robins is like a cheating bf, had it good wanted more pissed off went through few flings then comes grovelling back, lets say just saying he magically keeps us up or we go down and first half league 2 season were top 2 how long again you think it be before a higher club comes looking and he pisses off again!

Sam Ricketts a good guy but I believe it's an outsider
Good luck to him
Tbh not the worst situation to be taking over
Any improvement in the league would be applauded and he has a Wembley final where we are underdogs

It won't be an outsider!
New appointment to be made by tomorrow at the latest! Fisher isn't that clever to of sourced a new man before sacking slade and if we can find a new manager in 24 hours then is he gonna be any good?
3 options.
1, Venus to temporarily take charge again (doubtful)
2, Oggy to take charge until the end of season/new manager is found.
3, Ricketts (same as above)

Possibly Oggy and Rickets

If Ricketts does a half decent job then he'll be kept on for next season.

What will the shrewsbury score be?

dadgad · Mar 5, 2017

Robins is an odd one!? BUT
After he left took the position of Sisu against the Council.
This may be an indication that he's a friend of Fisher and that Sisu are going nowhere.
;((((

torchomatic · Mar 5, 2017

I'm quite happy with Robins. Did well before and after all, he does, if you all remember, apparently bleed sky blue blood.

Irish Sky Blue · Mar 5, 2017

The football was good, fast flowing attacking. However no McGoldrick, Baker, Clarke Murphy, McSheffrey, Christi and Mousa. I think it could be harder the second time around. Had no assurances about things from Sisu last time. I wonder if he even asked this time?

Philosoraptor · Mar 5, 2017

We need someone who understands how to win at a game. We need someone who understands game theory when linked with sports.

CovBurty · Mar 5, 2017

Whoever Fisher gets in, this season is finished. But right decision to sack Slade, as he was a complete failure. Not sure it would be wise to give Rickets a temp job, it may upset him for the rest of his managerial career if he has one.
My opinion is, the team has been the reason why successive managers have failed. This squad just doesn't have the ability/consistency to win games. No matter what manager. Too much crap.

Hobo · Mar 5, 2017

Slade applied for a very difficult job. Unfortunately he made no indent on the task. Mowbray and Pressley, before him did initially before running aground.

Make no mistake it is a difficult job. Picking up players is difficult at this level, especially in January; practically impossible to get quality without money.

I said with Pressley and again with Mowbray it is a four year rolling job. Slade , nor the others came here to fail, but we need to appoint with a long term philosophy. We need patience to rebuild around the correct ethos.

For me there lies the problem. The manager is just a brick in the wall of policy. The club has to decide where it wants to go and how. Then appoint the right coach/manager/team to achieve it. Hard nose slumps and set backs by showing progress is being made.

Enter Mr Fisher, who I wish would exit stage left. I would rather have kept Slade rather than Fisher and that is no endorsement of Slade's ability.

CovBurty · Mar 5, 2017

Fisher sacked is the headline we all want. He is the real problem. How does he sleep at night? If I was that shit at my job I would've walked years ago.
I would like to ask Fisher if he ever actually played any football when he was younger? He looks like the kid who was picked last.

Too subtle for me, Otis. Perhaps I take things too literally. I didn't think it was 'you'.

Ruben lameries has liked an instagram pic of slade being given his marchinf orders

Safe to say alot of dressing room didn't like him.

Lameries must be about as far from "Russell Slade's type of player" as it's possible to get while still playing the same sport.

How have I never noticed slade had his initials on his hat???

slowpoke · Mar 5, 2017

People saying they feel sorry for Slade I don't normally a manager comes in and wins a few games then once the honeymoon is over we go back to being shit again. RS made us even shitter then we were before no improvement at all. I share no sympathy with him going awful manager

Ibby · Mar 5, 2017

Good luck to what ever Slade does next in his life.

Cornwallskyblue · Mar 5, 2017

Slade was dog shit......didn't work move on. Jury is out about Robins. Was a big fan before he fucked off and the ludicrous Sky Blue blood statement.
