Jackett is great at this level. Who are you expecting to see on the list?

can't agree with you there, definitely prefer the more industrial profanity.

Whilst you can't ignore the state the club is in I really don't believe our budget and setup is so bad we should be a relegation candidate, let alone cast adrift at the bottom.
We still have a cat 2 academy, we still have Ryton and despite sinking crowds we must have a half decent budget compared to others in the league.
There's either something going on we don't know about and, as hard as it is to imagine, things are even worse behind the scenes than we thought, or Slade has massively underperformed. Things were bad under Mowbray and Venus but we've got worse since Slade came in.
Can't imagine there's any thought of a new manager keeping us up so we might as well start looking to next season.

I would also be happy with Robins, but the others are uninspiring in my view.

What's all that about?? I didn't have you down as unpleasant? Or perhaps it's your sense of humour??

robins is like a cheating bf, had it good wanted more pissed off went through few flings then comes grovelling back, lets say just saying he magically keeps us up or we go down and first half league 2 season were top 2 how long again you think it be before a higher club comes looking and he pisses off again!

It won't be an outsider!
New appointment to be made by tomorrow at the latest! Fisher isn't that clever to of sourced a new man before sacking slade and if we can find a new manager in 24 hours then is he gonna be any good?
3 options.
1, Venus to temporarily take charge again (doubtful)
2, Oggy to take charge until the end of season/new manager is found.
3, Ricketts (same as above)
Possibly Oggy and Rickets
If Ricketts does a half decent job then he'll be kept on for next season.

I'm quite happy with Robins. Did well before and after all, he does, if you all remember, apparently bleed sky blue blood.

The football was good, fast flowing attacking. However no McGoldrick, Baker, Clarke Murphy, McSheffrey, Christi and Mousa. I think it could be harder the second time around. Had no assurances about things from Sisu last time. I wonder if he even asked this time?

We need someone who understands how to win at a game. We need someone who understands game theory when linked with sports.
Whoever Fisher gets in, this season is finished. But right decision to sack Slade, as he was a complete failure. Not sure it would be wise to give Rickets a temp job, it may upset him for the rest of his managerial career if he has one.
My opinion is, the team has been the reason why successive managers have failed. This squad just doesn't have the ability/consistency to win games. No matter what manager. Too much crap.

Slade applied for a very difficult job. Unfortunately he made no indent on the task. Mowbray and Pressley, before him did initially before running aground.
Make no mistake it is a difficult job. Picking up players is difficult at this level, especially in January; practically impossible to get quality without money.
I said with Pressley and again with Mowbray it is a four year rolling job. Slade , nor the others came here to fail, but we need to appoint with a long term philosophy. We need patience to rebuild around the correct ethos.
For me there lies the problem. The manager is just a brick in the wall of policy. The club has to decide where it wants to go and how. Then appoint the right coach/manager/team to achieve it. Hard nose slumps and set backs by showing progress is being made.
Enter Mr Fisher, who I wish would exit stage left. I would rather have kept Slade rather than Fisher and that is no endorsement of Slade's ability.

Fisher sacked is the headline we all want. He is the real problem. How does he sleep at night? If I was that shit at my job I would've walked years ago.
I would like to ask Fisher if he ever actually played any football when he was younger? He looks like the kid who was picked last.

Too subtle for me, Otis. Perhaps I take things too literally. I didn't think it was 'you'.Twas incredibly sarcastic.

Lameries must be about as far from "Russell Slade's type of player" as it's possible to get while still playing the same sport.

People saying they feel sorry for Slade I don't normally a manager comes in and wins a few games then once the honeymoon is over we go back to being shit again. RS made us even shitter then we were before no improvement at all. I share no sympathy with him going awful manager

Slade was dog shit......didn't work move on. Jury is out about Robins. Was a big fan before he fucked off and the ludicrous Sky Blue blood statement.
