O.T.B.C 1 Posted November 30, 2008 He won''t throw the towel in and we can''t afford to sack him. Well not yet. Can you imagine the comments that he will come out with if he was sacked, this could be his last chance for a top 2 league position and he will want to blame every one from the board, lack of money to the fans to try and save face.

Paul Spector 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Lets be honest - whats the point in giving someone 1 game to save their job!?!? Even if they win the next game, as soon as we lose a couple thats it, so surely its better to act sooner rather than later. Over to you board members!

blinded by the story 0 Posted December 1, 2008 Aidey & Malkys green and yellow army!!!!!!!!Lose to Ipswich and Charlton win then we sit in the relegation zone by Songs of Praise on Sunday evening. We cannot afford to keep the Rodent.With increased mutterings amongst fans of not renewing season tickets we need to give a new Manager a couple of games to asses what can be done with the limited funds in Jan. It could be a Spurs situation in that all that is required is some Man Management and adjustments of the players we have.The Board must speculate to accumulate.

missing in action? 0 Posted December 1, 2008 i think th real problem lies with the coaches. you cant lose the likes of livermore and foley, (with about 50/60 years experience between them) with a bunch of guys that know how to use a computer. they talk about the fitness, back in the day, a run up mousehold heath did the trick. didnt need a computer to tell us that.basically. until we get back to grassroots stuff. stop relying on a computer, we will struggle.

He won''t go otherwise (my opinion).[/quote]Cam - this view is the logical one - but consider: if NCFC are relegated from this division for the first time ever, GR will have to take the major share of the blame - and even if he doesn''t, he will still get it. True, he would have liked more money (which manager wouldn''t?) but the squad is now largely of his making. That it has unquestionably improved under GR''s stewardship (but results have not) actually makes his ability as a manager even more questionable IMO. He has also changed the backroom staff so that "our" club is much more like "his" club. Fans would probably accept that if results had come - but they haven''t. If GR is still in charge and we do get relegated, where does that leave his future managerial career? I''m not saying he would walk away in ahurry or completely unaided; but given that the club is broke, with one eye on his future and next post. he may not want to stay the course. Either way it may take a long time to get the club back to its old self-belief of just a few seasons ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
