Vales new manager

[Rampant Zebra]

Depends on what your feelings are about relegation to non league really. With the best will in the world it is unfair on Danny Pugh to expect him to save us in his first managerial job.

Not so sure on that as we are effectively 7 points clear with a game in hand so he only really needs a below average form to stay up.

 

Four wins and a couple of draws... jobs and good un

Seems to be an abundance of flawed logic on here as usual.

Just because someone is a bad driver doesn’t necessarily Mean that they are trying to commit suicide.

 

What if they're a bad pedestrian?

Maybe we collectively should also be targeting Garlick and his role (as well as Smurf), because since he has come in the team have gone into Uber decline.

 

Is he picking the team, scouting the players, signing them without the manager's knowledge? No? Thought not.

Save us from what

Do you really think Smurf is doing that? If it was left to Aspin, Whitfield would’ve been ousted, works both ways. I’m not sticking up for Smurf, but we all need balance in the conversation....

 

None of us know the truth (really) do we? There was certainly a lot of game playing going on, but Aspin was continually sidelining players that we all thought should be in the squad, that’s not Smurf doing that..

 

I think we’d all like clarity from the club how players are being signed.

Just to add, what is his role? he never speaks!!! We never hear about the strategic direction, plans etc - all good CEO’s do this kind of stuff... what does Garlick do? NOTHING

I never said Smurthwaite was doing those things - I was just pointing out that Colin Garlick wasn't.

Do you really think anyone but the owner makes decisions about the strategic direction of the club?

If that’s the case, then what is the point of Garlick being in what you are pointing towards some form of fake CEO role - get rid of him as well.

 

A good CEO, sets out what the aims are, of course he is going to consult Smurf, it’s his club at the end of the day, just like every other CEO would consult his board members and significant shareholders. He says the square root of nothing, he’s as culpable as Smurf’s in this and everyone points the finger at 1 man.

 

Balance.

Meanwhile no news on the recruitment or the by when they are looking to have a new manager in place
