The boards hand would have been forced to take action. Who comes in though will have to be a very shrewd and experienced manager, as the task is pretty mammoth at the moment. You'd hope they'd be able to bring a few faces with them, as seems to be a procedure at non-league
Not sure a manager at a mid table Step 5 club will be the answer.rickthediamond wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:09 pm Gutted Chris has gone, mainly because he was a proper role model to have at our club. With that said, no manager survives 11 defeats out of 11 games played, so it had become inevitable. In terms of his replacement, there’s only one man for the job in my eyes, Biffa. IF Biff applies, then he simply must get the job, knows a few of the lads in our squad, knows the club inside out, and could hopefully persuade Wilson to make the move over to us. It sounds crazy to say it, but that IF is quite crucial because even Biff, who knows our club so well, may not fancy the job given our current form and position in the table. Fingers crossed he does.
Respectfully disagree, you won’t find many Step 3/4 managers fancying it, and those that do will walk away as soon as they hear about their pay packet or our budget. Happy to be proved wrong though.SouthRushdenJFC wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:15 pmNot sure a manager at a mid table Step 5 club will be the answer.rickthediamond wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:09 pm Gutted Chris has gone, mainly because he was a proper role model to have at our club.

What is the answer then? I don't think we're in a position to really pick and choose. I'd be shocked if any manager who is above our current position will apply, only somebody who's out of a job who's managed higher. Like already mentioned, no manager who's doing well I step 5, is likely to come to a srel 4 club who's season perogative at this early stage in the season, is to avoid relegationSouthRushdenJFC wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:15 pmNot sure a manager at a mid table Step 5 club will be the answer.rickthediamond wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:09 pm Gutted Chris has gone, mainly because he was a proper role model to have at our club.

You've answered your own question in a way. It's not an attractive proposition. You might get an up and coming manager who fancies it and sees it as an opportunity to progress his career pathway a couple of seasons early.TheIncognitoKid wrote: Thu Oct 12, 2023 5:19 pmWhat is the answer then?
