Never easy wrote:OUT OUT OUY Correct me if I’m wrong but is it not a results based buissness . Look repeat look st his record here .shocking also not won at home he had dramatically pulled defeat from the jaws of victory and if anyone swallows his rubbish he spouts is beyond me galvanise energise 1 million %. Did any of these happen in last 12 games ???? Mr Radford call trading standard because it’s. It happening what it says on the tin !!!!!!

I've seen nothing to indicate that Mr Flitcroft knows how to motivate and direct a group of players to consistently win games. He has shown the tactict of trying to defend a lead by pulling everyone back and inviting teams on even when the opposition is poor quality. This never encourages me to have faith and in my opinion is an entirely negative and dangerous strategy.
In short, I have lost all confidence that Mr Flitcroft can put a team together to take us up. I want success and like any spoils child I want it as soon as possible. What I don't want is another season of under achievement which could also serve to undermine the commitment of the Radford's.
So on ballance, I say 'thank you, you've had your chance but no thank you'.

I would absolutely agree had he signed the players. 100%.
A different manager at this point would make no difference to the outcome of the season. A different manager would still want to bring in his own players.
I'd wager that a new manager would cost us more than just keeping DF on. He'd have a higher turnover of players. Who would we even get? Flitcroft ticked a lot of the boxes we look for in a manager. 12 games with someone else's floppers is not a fair judgement. Billy McEwan got a longer tenure and he singed his players.

So he moves to a club that alongside Swindon has provided him with a similar budget although I appreciate they aren’t his players . But if he is a great manager he should be able to get the best from most players. He was provided with another quality squad and If I was compiling an end of season report it would be along the lines that he needs to try harder. Both teams have invested heavily and he has been given the best tools for the job and failed on both accounts. I can’t see him taking us up unfortunately. I wouldn’t give him any money to waste!

Swindon was in the play offs though. Swapping manager at that point in the season derailed them as it did us.
If I remember right, when Evans arrived he only won 2 of his 6 or 7 league games before he could sign his own players. I think that also included the heavy 5-2 loss at Carlisle (there was 8 games but one was the trophy which is generally greeted with apathy)
In fact I just checked. He had 7 league games before January window and gained 8 points. You can swing this 2 ways, comparing Flitcroft 1st 7 games and you get 3 points from 7 games, but if you take Flitcroft last 7 games berofe the transfer window it's 9 points out of 7.
See at the end of the day Flitcroft is here to stay. May as well give the bloke a chance and reserve judgement. Don't need constant negativity. There was so many times during Evans reign that I thought the fan base would implode (based on history) at certain dings and it didn't. It allowed him the time. Now it feels we are back in the old day where everything is useless unless repeatedly proven otherwise. The old csrtain players are only as good as their last bad game.
