Flitcroft gone

[mr.hobblesworth]

Hope his recruitment team is following him out the door.

Bet Andy Crosby's having a wee tipple tonight.

Someone has already posted what happened ain’t they confirmed at tonight’s meeting that carol made the decision 

Be interesting see the reaction of the players this weekend 

Don’t get your hopes up 😬

Well, good riddance but now the challenge comes as to who is to replace him, as I assume Carol's ambition is still for a Club with this management structure, which I can also support if the right people are in place.

I fear its come too late for this Season though...

The only way forwards was for flitcroft to go. The rift with the fans had become untenable, and like others have said they both reluctantly knew it was the only choice.

As for flitcroft I don't think he is a bad person, and probably in time we will reap the benefits of some of the 'club building' he has done in the background. Football is so results based. Our lack of options at wingback and striker were unforgivable and just mind boggling that we didn't do more to fix it in January.

Anyway I wouldn't be opposed to another DoF, but would also take the time to get another 'football person' on the board or high up in our structure. There has to be a bit more constructive challenge instead of ultimate trust in one person.

I think this sums up where we are at. I think Flitcroft has been rather shrewd and cunning with regard to his relationships with the club officials and with Carol in particular. During his tenure it would appear that all personnel who were close to Carol were forced to fall on their sword at some point or other. I think Flitcroft wanted to be the sole conduit between Carol and the rest of the club, Garlick went, Speed went, not to mention two managers. I suspect that according to Flitcroft all failings associated with the club are the fault of everyone else and not him. Fortunately he wasn’t fooling us, I bet if he had the chance he would try to convince Carol to sack the fans.

He should  definitely have been sacked on February 1st.

There's to many employee's at the club who aren't required and they fall into that category, agree to disagree

One of my worries now DF has gone is who are the fans now going to target! With this group of players I can't see us improving in anyway.

Best Post on here in months. Agree with everything except he should have been sacked December 31st. So we could have had a good go at the Jan transfer window.

Maybe she didn't want to spoil his Christmas holidays?

Up to big dazza now. Let’s see a reaction Saturday. I’ve been extremely disappointed with the performances under him, for me he’s been a downgrade on Crosby. Let’s see what he and the lads can do Saturday.

Why would an 80 year old put himself in a position where he is judged on results?

Football management is a fickle game. You go from hero to vilified in 12 months. John Rudge is a very contented man who would have no interest in taking another job. I agree he would not be interested.
