    I have been banging this drum for months.  I don't see why it can't happen in football.  I doubt Bowyer has had a week off, I mean a proper week off since the play off final. 

    The last time he had any meanful time off was probably after the shewsbury game when he didn't know if he had a job or not. 

    It's not healthy.  Lee is far from the only manager that has got in a rut like this. Very few ever get out of it.  It's going to cost Thomas a million quid ish to sack him and it could have probably have been avoided with 2 weeks holiday in October. 
    Now the season is at the stage of what it is... Would you consider telling Bowyer to have a two week break, giving the reigns to Jackson and then in two weeks time see if Bowyer comes back refreshed and is a better Manager as a result?
  • whatever is in the pipeline, surely a change is required, could appoint Jacko as interim manager

    In principle yes, but I think the damage has been done now. 

    If Thomas came out and said he is here for the long term, regardless, 100% I would support a 2 or 3 week break.

    Dont get the fascination with a caretaker till the end of the season

    All its going to do is set us back come the summer, another period of potentially missing out on key signings because we dont have a permanent Manager in place - Remember when we got Bent, we got him because we moved quicker than everyone else the moment the transfer window opened. How can we do that when we cant even offer players (even if its Gallen doing the signing) assurances that the new Manager will even want them?

    Only reason for giving Jackson or Euell the caretaker job is with the potential of them having it full-time

    But then as others have said, giving it to Jackson and are you really changing that much

    This season has gone, lets not waste next season by dithering over decisions... Its why Sandgaard almost needs to come out with the vote of confidence and confirm that Bowyer will be here come the start of next season at the very least, or he goes now - I fear we're so paranoid (maybe the wrong word) about getting the right manager that we could end up being down here even longer than we need to
    can't speak for others but I'm suggesting a caretaker only in the scenario AFKA suggested whereby a new manager may already have been identified but not available until the summer. If not then yes bring in a new man immediately, we have no time to waste as you quite rightly point out.

    and how would that pan out if Jacko came in and won six games on the spin?
  • Just another thought... If Sandgaard wants a Danish Manager (who is currently out of the UK)

    Would said person be allowed to travel over and take up the role. provided they self-isolate for the required period?

    It's a win win then isn't it?

    Anyone who has any sort of high pressured job gets holiday and has a deputy.  I really don't see why football is so different. 
  • Don't know but I don't understand why people think he'd bring in a Danish manager. More likely they'd be American wouldn't it?

    I actually think they'd be British, or have worked in Britain previously, can't see them appointing a random foreigner personally.

    Purely on the thought that Sandgaard might want someone to replace Bowyer but cant because that person cant enter the country, I mentioned Danish but guess their Nationality doesnt really matter if they're not already here

    Of course I could be barking up the wrong tree and that may not be an issue

    I suppose it could happen in football but the issues are from Bowyer's perspective, that it may be seen as a sign of weakness and what if say Euell or somebody else comes in as a caretaker and instantly changes things for the better?

  • Bringing in a Danish manager would go down like a bag of cold sick. No chance

    Like I said now it's too late

    We get a proper man in now still have chance of playoffs

    I think they are gone but I do agree, now is the absolute last chance. We need to go 6/7 games unbeaten to stand a chance. 
  • Silence is deafening today, nothing except Saturdays valley pass ??

    I think this is a point that many miss. If you believe in the strength of the squad, there are certainly enough games to go to put the sort of run we need together. Of course it isn't guaranteed, but it is much more likely with a new manager than Bowyer. He is clearly burnt out and whilst that is sad, genuinely sad, it has to be accepted and managed.

    I was thinking that too. The clubs social media channels are very quiet today

    The only tweets after Saturday were about the goal and Josh Davison’s goal for FGR. 

    I suspect they’re just reading the room and know how a tweet about our goal yesterday would go down.

    Second we go a goal down heads drop. Think Bowyer tried something new after a woeful performance and it worked well. 

    The set up wasnt particularly smart with the players we had on (DJ and Milar) so in hindsight he should have stuck with 442 and also just never play Watson again. 

    I’m not a fan of scapegoating players who aren’t playing well/a bit shit but Watson just doesn’t seem to care at all.

    For everyone saying ‘I would take so and so’ to replace Bows you are in a dreamland.

    The only likely replacement is Euell stepping up as we know he wanted the Wimbledon job.

    Regardless I would stick with Bowyer, but clearly I’m one of a few now 
  • Please find it Bows, whatever it is we are looking for.

    It's all very tiring you know?

  • Could not disagree with anything that you have written. Excellent analysis and puts many of the short sighted and intellectually challenged posters on this thread in their place.





    Thanks Dad, I'll consider myself told and put in my place.
