Sandgaard's dilemma

Lincsaddick said:good analysis, however the plain fact is that for us to get anywhere Sandy needs to put in a lot of money for, to state the obvious, bringing in far better players than we have at present and a management team that knows the lower leagues ..
I reckon Sandy has good intentions for us but has either:
a) not got the necessary funds to supply what is needed, or much more damningly
b) is using CAFC as a plaything and was totally unaware of what was need to get us back on track. As @blackpool72 said way back when, he's bitten off far more than he can comfortably chew.
Rumours abound that he is looking to sell, that would not surprise me at all. The issue is, who else would be prepared to buy us ?. In the current financial climate, no-one is my guess3 -

He went on to say how he would completely remodel the club and turn it around (honestly if you get a chance to watch it, you’ll maybe rethink your opinion of him).
It seems to me that if Jacko Is the one to carry on leading us, it’s what he needs to do because something is deeply wrong within the club.
I've always, albeit reluctantly, liked him. He seems a frank person and a very good manager.1 -

I suspect Sandman wants a yes man. Adkins and JJ aren't disagreeable personalities. Adkins was an excruciating Blair character. And JJ just doesn't have a personality at all.
I wonder if a Ferguson, Keane or Terry type character came along whether Sandman would overlook them?
There are many very good managers out there. It's time to hire one of them. No Blairite cack, no "but I was the captain here so I must be a good manager" cack. Just a very good manager and motivator of men (however disagreeable he may be!)
Im backing JJ for next season, I understand what “outhisdepthmeans” I just don’t agree with it at this point.
He inherited a shite squad full of demotivated players, from a manager that just bought players without knowing his formation never mind XI.Wtf is Blairite cack and how it relates to JJ is beyond me, maybe try the politics thread pal.
Ill take the arguments against JJ being here next season as some have reasonable points, but unless you think this current squad is good and JJ has just not made the most of it, it doesn’t make a great deal of sense, if the squad is totally shite which most agree on, how can you blame JJ? Apart from not changing formation, but they’re still shite in a 433 or 442, we’ve still got largely anonymous midfielders and slow defenders either way.
He didn't know his best XI because half his squad turned up not match fit (including Purrington and Gilbey) after the season started. We were still basically having our preseason in September.
He deserved the sack for the Bolton, Lincoln and Accrington performances, or non performances, but I don't think he had a "fair crack" and any manager would have struggled in the circumstances.
They looked tough at the time, but with hindsight 4th, 8th, 3rd & Champions.3 -

There are some things as fans we don’t know about but Adkins was culpable for the start of the season. Some thought he was going to go after the Wycombe game when the away end was toxic before Lavelle scored.0 -

The dilemma is to carry on playing football manager or not.
From the march CASTRUST Q&A Sandgaard said Jackson was here for 2.5 years initially, then spoke of the performance, incentive based contract and the reviews, extensions and cost to sackings,/ leavings. He also specifically mentioned how expensive it was sacking off Adkins hence this contract. Jackson is going nowhere soon imo. Rightly or wrongly.
So, with that in mind, stop dicking about watching scouting videos and pointing to stats to make sure that the players arent the ones chasing the long ball and let Jackson be in the driving seat of recruitment, the current setup got us into this mess, it won't get us out.
I'm not massively sold on Jackson, like Adkins he isn't solely to blame but like Adkins, he never offered a solution during the very low points and imo he wasn't able to squeeze that little bit extra out of probably, very average players, but with better recruitment we'll still make it towards the playoffs, we finished last season just out of them, for context, we spent most of the first half of that season with footballing genius Lee Bowyer playing Watson in midfield,Gunter and Pratley at CB and Bogle up front.
Better players, better squad, should by law of averages see us pick up more points and give better performances by default, less pressure on Jackson to maybe show a bit more from the dugout.
Maybe.

This squad is by no means the worst we've had in terms of ability, but their lack of pride and effort is evident.

Most views here accept JJ's stubbornness in sticking to one system, his picking players in the wrong positions, his failure to inspire the team, and yet a good many think he should stay. My view is that if you add his very strange attitude to using some loan players, then he has no credible case for being retained. Spurs in particular and maybe other top clubs will now hesitate in loaning out their best young players to us, and with good reason. Are you saying that a player who had played in European games with credit, wasn't good enough to be given a chance in a midfield, that is universally labelled in these posts as totally inadequate? Please bury your love for JJ as a former player and judge him as a current manager.2

Jackson as #2 waiting for Adkins to be pushed makes for an interesting dynamic with his mates as the players I'm sure.1 -

I don’t think sangard sees this as a dilemma. He is putting his faith in Jackson and the next six months. Jackson will be the 1st to walk if it does not work out by November.There is no other way around it. One thing is for sure; it isn’t just a few signings that are needed.0
