Selles reeks of Dai appointment to me.

Dai except for Pauno has appointed managers who have coached or managed in the premier league. But none have worked

Gomes? Plus Ince’s PL stint was a short, disastrous spell at Blackburn over a decade ago. I think they were seduced by a big name with an illustrious playing career for that one.

Clement - PL coach and failed manager - Dai
Gomes - 3rd choice Portuguese - Kia
Bowen - PL coach who was at the club, emergency
Paunovic - coach and failed MLS manager, maybe Kia
Ince - emergency player's dad
Selles - uSeless PL coach - Dai

I find it annoying to read that Selles wants us to take our cup form into league games. Yes, we’d all love that, but it’s obvious that our U21s who have league experience were better than the U21 teams we faced in our EFL Trophy group. It feels like he’s insulting the intelligence of the fans.

I understand why he wants to take a positive spin, but the bottom line is he’s not good enough to manage a football team in the EFL or non league football come to that. I really hope he oxf*rd off soon.

If exclusivity in the takeover is close, what'd really be great is a loan from the buyer while they work through everything. Money to replace Selles, sort out day to day operations. Instant improvement on the pitch.

I'm not sure Selles was a Dai/Kia appointment to be honest. It wouldn't be a massive surprise to me if Bowen appointed him, everyone hoping it would work although it hasn't.

I see Blackpool are beating Shrewsbury 4-0 in first gear. It really highlights how far we have fallen.

Shrewsbury are awful. If we couldn't hold on against them, we can't against anyone. I expect to play them again next season in L2.

I am resigned to League Two football unless the new owner/s are in place by Christmas. A new manager and a couple of astute signings could make all the difference.

With a fee restriction already in place for the next 3 transfer windows. Bowen bringing Selles on board actually has the resemblance of a plan. There's no quick fixes to the hole that Dai has dug for the club. A new manager has to be prepared to work with what's here already. While there's future potential it's a long way off the required standard to be competitive over a 46 game league season at the current time.
