JT was suggesting Nicky Forster. I was replying with that in mind.
Most seem to be plumping for Allen, Coppell or Holdsworth.
I am not sure any of those will take the job on and do any different so I am sticking with Andy for 3 games.
I know that's bold of me and I expect an improvement in style but I have never been a boo-er.
Someone must have been responsible for lifting the club from the depths of Butcher. I think Andy had a lot to do with that and indeed the League 2 championship.
I just dont get this sh*t Smiffy. Butcher had been in Australia and was saddled with a No2 he did not choose, 24 days before the one he would have chosen would have been free to join him as he has since done at Inverness.
Scott was that No2 and his knowledge of players in the SE was paramount in his appointment. Brown, Mackie and Thorpe were his signings. They were sh*t all three of them. People think that cos Brown played in Scotland that he was Butchers man and thats just nonsense. So Butcher was lumbered with a spine of a team that was sh*t. All Scot signings! There was also Glenn Poole, Ricky Shakes and Alan Connell all signed on Scott's recommendation.
Scott was telling members of the Board then that it was only a matter of time before fortunes changed for Butchers side but outside of the Board room it was rumoured all was not well between the two and that Butcher felt Scott was undermining him at every opportunity. Butcher lasted effectively from Aug to Dec without bringing in one player that you would say was his own choice. Our Loan signings were Hamer, Starosta, Basey, Pettigrew and Sammy Moore. Were they Butchers recomendations?
The love in has to stop and the nonsense about where Butcher was taking us has to be balanced with who brought the majority of players to Butchers team.
You can go on till you are blue in the face but the fact is we would never have gone down that season. Never! There were three clubs in absolute meltdown who were always going to finish below us regardless of what you and Wanderer Paul say.
Butcher has now proven in Scotland again what he is capable of and its strange that he failed at all English clubs he has managed given what he has done. But ffs lets give the Butcher baiting a rest!
Scott has done no more or less since than what Butcher has done and yet Butcher is plying his trade in the Scotish Premier League. thats football.
Its the here and now that counts and Scott should have gone after Rochdale when it was clear we were not shaping up to achieve the target set.
He has had a decent recovery in October but we are now out of both Cups, nothing but safety to play for in the league and a chance against a better team in the JPT.
It all spells failure imho and if you fail you fall.
Its TIME for a change. Not in two games, NOW.
Give Bully the two games to ensure an appointment is made early enough for the new man to scout some players for January window and to assess current squad and who he will want to move on.
