Snowflake RoyalHoundSutekh Brian as manager, Jobi as assistant.
Might not be enough to stay up this year but at least you would have some confidence that the rebuild would give a team that had heart and spirit and one that could play for 90 minutes - certainly there’s no way a Brian team would have been so utterly pathetic as yesterday.
No - living in the past. Brian hasn’t managed since he left us and Jobi would just be an emotional appointment
Someone like Alex Neill. Knows and has succeeded in the division. Doesn’t take any shit. Not old.
Reckon Neil is too good for us.
Genuinely, why would anyone with a decent record at this level come to a club with half it's senior squad injured, a points deduction, a further suspended points deduction, a transfer embargo and a hard wage cap, sliding towards relegation?
We can't entice with money. We could be in L1 next season, no room to freshen up the squad and we don't even have a single senior fullback available.

He got sacked by pne, and is used to working with no money and being bottom of the table won’t phase him. So not sure he’s too good for us
Reckon we’d pay him more than he was on. We’ll have 2 senior full backs available in a months time

With our and Yiadom's fitness record?
Woo. 2 fullbacks in another 3 or 4 games time. What a cornacopia of options.

I am guessing this will be the Academy vacancy. Can’t see it being for the first team role should Pauno be sacked.

Yeh didn't someone say a club legend was due to fill that role?

The Green Programme I think we need a reality check.
We have a mass of injuries.
If our squad was at full strength, we’d be competing for the play offs even with a six point deduction.
Pauno has done very well on the whole with a devastated squad and no money.
He has brought in and developed youngsters and has without doubt motivated the likes of Drinkwater and Carroll and Rahman and Dann and Halilovic, all of whom have shown real commitment and definitely more commitment than many previous loans and free transfers.
I thought that West Brom away was going to be a tough one; possibly a heavy defeat; they are a strong, aggressive, team that are highly motivated.
They are one of the best three teams in the league.
We had our best creative players missing and our two top strikers missing all season; our two best defensive midfielders missing; our first choice right back missing etc..,
We could’ve nicked a point. We lost to a single goal and had two very good chances to equalise and didn’t take them.
Let’s get a grip….
Hughton et al, reallly???
I literally feel physically sick at the thought of the dreariness of it all; reminds of Gourlay/Clement…. And that really was a dreadful, dreadful period of our history which haunts us today…

Notts Royal Ironically, Bowen was the only one of those who shouldn’t have been sacked when he was. Not saying it was the right appointment in the first place, but he did a decent job & I very much doubt we’d be this far down the table if he was in charge.
Stam should’ve been sacked earlier, Pauno should go now.

Hound Tbf there was a lot of anti Bowen sentiment on here, but I think he had a clear plan and I for one was annoyed when he got the boot. Looks a big mistake now

He wasn’t scared to drop big characters. It’s clear he wanted Moore out and had that happened it would have saved the club a lot of money. I get the impression Pauno wouldn’t have the balls to drop him.

Oh how we could do with some of his desire to make playing against us unpleasant.
