Yeah let’s go non league again . That will fill Kingsmeadow when we end up back there

Trigger - a good league 2 club would be a better gig and earn him more money and respect.

Surely that's bollocks or more likely a wind up

If the idiots have blown the deal by spreading rumours, they should hang their heads

Is this a wind up? [Link]

Just to make things better, we'll probably be without Hippo next weekend as Grenada have two matches

Really don't think the players give a shit, definately not playing for the manager who has no idea.

Just how many games have we won this calendar year?

I wouldn’t begrudge JJ success somewhere else but I can’t see a L1 promotion challenger taking him on it would have to be a lower to midtable L1 club that has some budget.

Gosh we’re unlucky in the third tier that our managers always turn out to be shit and we end up sacking them. Couldn’t possibly be due to other factors.

I think that JJ is like Guardiola in reverse- pretty good at getting better-than-expected results from a very low budget, via quite limited and defensive football. If he had a decent budget I am not convinced that he would know what to do with it. To me, the logic (painful though it is) is to keep JJ in place until the SSC money comes on stream, then make the change. If we change before that we simply won’t get any decent candidates

Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.

Our club is incapable of sacking Jackson because they will carry on blindly expecting things to change. Yes we’ve had injuries but he sets us up so defensively every game. We don’t stand a chance of winning.

Trigger- it’s a bit tricky- either we stick with JJ and just drift through the season to inevitable relegation and “go again” next year with a new manager or we get rid of him now, get a poor candidate (nobody any good will come in until they know where we stand re the takeover) then have to get rid of them and start again next year with another “real” new manager. Either way, this season is going to be pretty painful I fear.

Sacking JJ is about as sensible as sacking Carrick or Woodman so it will almost certainly happen.

The deal can’t go through in time for us to have budget in January so this season is what it is. No point in sacking JJ but he’ll still have to go if things get too bad either on the pitch or with the fans (atmosphere or attendances).

… and until it doesn’t we couldn’t afford the payoff for getting rid of JJ

Probably makes sense to hold off changing managers until the deal goes through- if we have some budget to play with (and to pay a decent managerial salary) we will be picking from a much better pool of candidates

Nick, sadly its a story that happens a lot, remembering the end of last season being the same. Some say changing managers isn't always the answer, its about the only change left.

We never s pre more than one goal

L L L D L L surely we must be looking at a replacement manager. Next Saturday is likely to be a low attendance I guess.

Congrats to Trigg who is currently at the Maserati showroom and has ordered a magnum of Dom Perignan for dinner… :)

Certainly did Timmy. New end will be called The Triggerfish Stand.

To be honest our shitness is becoming boring now.

Oh well, that's Christmas decorations day sorted for the first Saturday of December I suppose
