Realistically who would you bring in?

Even if we approached him, Flitcroft would not come back. I suspect that could only happen if there was the departure of a certain Director.

This is like Brexit all over again. Dan and Edders are the typical remoaners.

The point of the poll on here is that a few weeks ago it would have been much closer. Even those calling for more time or not really sure have turned.

Don’t try to categorise me, Jamie. You’re really not up to it.

Dan is very vocal about being a Leaver.

I guess like most leavers reading & thinking aren't your strong points.

[Amber Andy]

we seem to have forgotten the age old process of advertising the position, sifting & then calling for an interview, we have good quality owners, facilities etc, we are an attractive option in the lower leagues.

What we dont seem to have is owners here at the club with time to spend interviewing. I think that is partly why JD got the job. The easy option. They knew him and didnt have to go through the process or interviewing anyone.

I think that is where the club is falling down. When was the last time the club advertised for a manager ? Paul Cox, and that produced the required result.

Whenever the time comes for a new manager, I hope the club advertise the job and interview at least three of the candidates.

Adam Murray was chosen after interviewing candidates.

It’ll still come down to the judgement of the Board.

Troll post... If you think it's a minority your clueless. Yes a poll on here or Facebook doesn't represent everyone but when it's so one sided it's a very good indicator.

As for managers. See who applies and appoint the best candidate. We're one of 92 very desirable jobs in English football. We'll have lots of interest. Guaranteed.

Sadly even if they did remove JD I have very little faith in the club to then make the right call.

Me too, the Chairman doesn't seem to be a good judge of a football manager.

Paul Cox was a horse for the course and succesful in the non league, the rest have been either average (DF) very poor(AM) or a con man (fill in the space yourself).

Boltons assistant manager.

Good Call

He wouldn't come back here. We had a poor pre season, our fitness levels aren't up to last season (I'm not saying we aren't fit, just last seasons was higher) and he's got a hell of a job on his hands.

I don't think he would have an issue with the signings but he's not had them for pre season so they aren't at his standards.

Also, above all else it would be indicative that the board made a huge error. The egos won't take it. They can say we tried a young manager and it hasn't worked. No way would Flitcroft come back, even if he wanted to.

And a good few of us wouldn't want him back thank you very much. If we did we wouldn't progress and that's not what most fans want. He's had two tries and failed, why repeat the process?.

Because of course we are really progressing at the moment.

Wasn’t arguing. Just stating a view. It’s not rocket science, now is it?

How the raspberry is it a good call?? The bloke failed miserably not once but twice.

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

If stating that people who want to leave a failed and sinking system can't read or think for themselves isn't arguing, then yes you are right.

I suppose you could argue that the situation of manager at MTFC is just as sound and secure, but wait a minute - you do. Hardly rocket science is it?

And I wasnt suggesting they were remainers. Just there antics over contesting the poll was akin with remoaners.

It's a moot point because he won't be back but won't progress under him? He took over a manager who finished 12th the season before. Had no transfer window and managed 8th (progress by 4 places) sfter 2 transfer windows and lots of praise from fellow professionals and opposing fans and 4 players in the league teams of the year he finished 4th (again progress by 4 places) he's then sacked.

On which version of reality is that 1. Failing and 2. Not progressing?

Not his fault the first time. Get over it.

Highest finish we've had for how many years? Whilst having 5/6 players sat in the stands. He did incredibly well considering and should still be here.
