Next Manager

[PVFC_4_EVA]

I know Phil Parkinson the altrincham manager wants the job. Not saying he should get it but he wants it.

We do have saleable assets, Conlon,Worrall, Rodney,Gibbo,Hurst,Taylor and I’d say Scott Brown who shouldn’t be judged just on this season. These are the players that we can’t afford to lose, if we’re looking ahead. All teams will have players that no one else would be interested in buying and will be released at the end of their current contracts. I agree de registering is not the always the way of solving a problem unless you can move those players on, so we’ll know if it’s worked by Tuesday next week. 

Scott Brown, almost 36 and you think we'd get a fee ? 

Can't agree with you on that one but you are right we do have some assets

I notice a few folk have been mentioning Derek Adams name.  Just had a gander at the Morecambe forum and one poster says this: "DA has totally transformed this club in such a short space of time."  Could he transform us??

Would be a great choice, but unlikely to happen, still fancy Murray from Barnsley, one of the rumours sites says we have approached Shaun Derry from the Oxford management team. Still it looks like we are starting to move in the right direction

No league experience.

To be fair, there wasn't silence from the club.

Carol gave an interview to Radio Stoke last week which had a couple of worrying/unclear comments in. The fans weren't filling a communications void, merely reacting to the comments made about 'not appointing a manager at this stage' as things fell apart on the pitch.

Thankfully, sense has been seen and the fanbase seems far more settled this morning. Really illustrates the importance of clear and consistent communication.

No thanks! Wasn’t rated by County fans at all!

If managers were appointed on the basis of what fans thought, largely a few vocal pessimistic sods on an Internet forum, they'd all be out of work

I really don't care who we appoint. All I ask for is an improvement in results until the end of the season and a huge clear out at the end of it, with positive recruitment targeting youth. Really don't trust any of the so called senior pros after what's gone on this season

Apparently there is a short list.  So why am I not on it??

Good, whether you will now make the short list remains to be seen.

Even if we couldn’t have moved anyone in the transfer window, it’s better to try than not even have a manager to negotiate. Don’t tell me Pugh could have done that because to you need contacts and experience to trade for something better. 

I think we could definitely have got rid of a bit of deadwood. Cullen, Robinson and Legge have reportedly had suitors, then there’s those at the top of the conference who i’m sure would like a league player and bolster the ranks. I’m not saying we’d have a brand new, brilliant squad but to say are players are <ovf censored> and were oversubscribed so no dice makes no sense.

the only way it can be rationalised to sack a manager before the transfer window opens and appoint one when it closes is if it’s taking that long to find the right candidate. I think more likely, as people have said, Carol wanted to keep Pugh until the summer, was confident about that after Grimsby, and has now been forced to fish those CVs out of the skip to get someone in pronto.

just my prediction. It’s all love though, Carol’s a straight up G. But this is clearly a rehash because it would have been sorted with plenty of time in TW left if this had been plan A.

at least we’re doing it now!
