If that means we are going to take our time and properly advertise the managers job instead of just jumping in for McIntyre, then it's probably a sensible move  (not that I'm dead against McIntyre btw, I think though he should apply and put his case forward like everyone else.  We should also make clear what the terms are e.g. no 3 year contracts, 1 year rolling ideally. That will clear out all the greedy bastards and hopefully get someone who is really committed to making a success of the job if he wants to be kept on longer).

Flood is the obvious quick fix short term appointment as caretaker, but no chance I'd even give him a game in charge.

We're gonna take someone out of work, so a contract till end of May is what's required, then review, a 1yr rolling contract going forward after that is a must tho.

Interesting that Bowman hasn't been given the caretaker gig again.

I hope to fuck rtese rumours are wrong, as this tells me two things.


1) We are giving up on promotion

The implication, which I've heard before, is that Bowman didn't help Stevie Campbell's situation.

Willo out of the team and on the bench may be an improvement.

Billy Dodds would be as bad as some other names bandied about. Yogi is like Mixu in his approach, he'd lose the players in his first training session.

Just putting this on the one post, as my enthusiasm has waned for football. The Foundation started off laudably, but they can't even answer an admittedly difficult question... or acknowledge receipt. So after wanting to support them, I decided 'no' for present.

Without a shadow, we have too many supporters' groups: disunited. We have no direction, within the club, or support. 

And, having seen every team in the Championship, every other team has a few players better than ours in every position. 

Having said that, there is no stand out team this far. 

So if we get lucky with our choice, you never know.

Main concern for me with Flood being caretaker is he's already said his piece to team mates a thousand times through happless times and shitebag performances to slate, reality check and push for better. Only a change in tactics would offer a difference and have the fuckers that don't change have the will to change for his tactics when they've obviously not reacted to his words as a team mate.

I think we will need to be active in the transfer window, and if the gap remains no wider at that stage there is still hope. Currently we have a team of Hobbitt sized midfielders and forwards....they can bulk up in the gym, but we need bruisers.
Rays signing spree has been exposed as flawed, as well as his tactical nous being non existant.
