Not a manager issue for me. For ages something has been very wrong with our squad. As soon as someone scores against us their heads drop and panic sets in. How long since we did a Golfie ?
Players have barely been able to put a decent shift in for 90mins all season
Goals have been conceded by the simplest of mistakes for the majority of the season
The players over the summer were all coming out with the bullshit of: "Yea we know last season wasnt good enough from US, we'll be looking to put it right" - Well the Manager got changed again, (the Manager has just been changed once more as well), and the same errors are happening, from the same individuals.
About time these players started to ask themselves some serious questions
If there is any substance at all to the takeover rumours then 2 things are likely. 1. No new manager will be appointed by Sandgaard. 2 No new players will be bought by Sandgaard in January ( although some may be sold). If the takeover runs past January or does not happen at all we are in very, very deep shit.
We've been through too many managers already. What we need is decent players.
Decent players? .....they are already decent for the level. It's not their footballing ability that is in question.
The problem is defensive organisation, no leaders to drive the team on, lack of fight and a winning mentality. This team is rammed with players that drop their heads the moment a goal is conceded. From that moment the game is lost.
Ask yourself, what would Curbs do? In his own words, he'd say "Get back to basics".
Rule 1: Don't lose. A tight defence means a point - you have the sound foundation on which to build your attacking moves. Your scoring one goal can mean 3 points.
Pretty? Maybe not - but it's results that win points. This Man City type fast possession football, with quick goalscoring thrusts is great at the top level. But Jeez, expecting Third division players to consistantly perform in this way in the Third Division is a tall order. That's why we're 18th and haven't won in 6 games.
First, just get the basics right: spine of the team, sound back line, be hard to beat with a quick counter, a skipper who can drive the team on, team spirit and a winning mentality.

I agree. But remember, there is a pattern to these takeovers and we have to be alert to it.
They always seem to occur bang in the middle of a transfer window. Conveniently leaving the chumps that takeover with very little to no time to get their 'top quality targets' through the door. (Guf) It happened with ESI and it happened with Sandgaard and it buys them time before the penny drops with the fan base that they've got f**k all money.
As has been said if a takeover is in the offing in the next month or so no way will TS be appointing a permanent manager unless it's one the new owners are onboard with.
We also need a decent recruitment team they must take some responsibility over this shower of shit and I think Steve Gallen is getting off very lightly at present .

Thomas said to the FF meeting that before appointing Hayes he'd approached someone to takeover on a caretaker basis but it had fallen down once the agent got involved. I wonder if that was Jackett? Also what happened to Scott Lindsay? Is he still around?

Gallen is only the negotiator.
He’s also stated before he identifes players as well

Driving licence or passport and any one of the following...

He used to ...... he can still make suggestions but he doesn't have the final say.
I'm sure someone will correct me here, but when Bowyer left and Adkins was brought in a few days later, after being asked about the extremely quick appointment, I'm sure Saandgard came out with a quote saying he would always have a shortlist of replacements for such eventualities and patted himself on the back for being so prepared.
So where's your fucking list now Tommy? Not that anyone would want this job at the moment
Hayes isn't the biggest problem, but he definitely isn't the solution either. The same flawed squad and tactics as Garner, but with a junior yes man in the dugout

Didn't TS say at the fans forum meeting that we've got the playing style right? I vaguely remember something like that. If so then he's dictating the tactics too.
It wasn't about the manager until Sandgaard sacked the manager. A couple of weeks ago we and an experienced, half-decent manager who was struggling because his team was under-resourced, had been poorly recruited and was suffering from multiple injury problems. Now, because of the owner's vanity we have an inexperienced manager who appears to be completely out of his depth managing the same squad of mis-fits, has beens, crocs and youth. Our problems are not down to the current manager, but if he is not replaced soon, he is more than likely to be one of our major problems going ahead. It's not his fault, but the poor man is unlikely to have faced anything in his career to prepare him for this. We desperately need a manager who knows how to stave off relegation; with the best will in the world that isn't an interim rookie. Of course, the biggest problem at the moment isn't manager; it's the owner. I just hope that things don't slide so fast that we have to start re-appraising that position.

Either way i think we need some decent players first.

It's basics!

It almost felt like Inniss had taken a bung to defend so badly.
Just embarrassing to watch.
The only way he can turn the club around, get fans back is appoint Curbs and Varney
I think Pep would struggle to get a tune out of this lot.
So where's your fucking list now Tommy?
