Re: Hunts gone

People keep harking back to a time when Managers were given 'time'...

That's all well and good if the cost of stagnation is bearable by the owner....

That's not the case nowadays and these new owners have been very clear about their objectives...

The future is all that counts...

He blames himself for not being ruthless enough. Says that is not about being ruthless with each other inside the club. Towards the end he speaks very well abut the duty of care to treat people, players managers and staff, with dignity and to always remember they are people with families. Acknowled...

Re: Hunts gone

Not a major surprise based on what Couhig said in his BBC Sounds monologue - these owners are protecting their investment....

Performances and results have been sub par....

Wish Noel all the best...

Interesting to see who comes in now...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Glad we got the win... Wish we'd managed more than a single goal and needs to be built on... Thought the Ref was fine, certainly better than the average L1 refs seen recently.... On a side note, this popped up on BBC Sounds yesterday.... Its a 10 minute monologue from Couhig about the season so far ...

Re: Poll: Should Noel Hunt be sacked?

This is where I am, emphasis on bold. And in 12 months time, when we're bored with the new one, we change again. Right? On the other hand a new manager might be more motivational, have ideas that the players buy into and not have a thing about leaving Ben Elliott out. If it works, it's fine and if ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (a)

WestYorksRoyal We've been decent this half. If it stays 1-1, probably leaves us in limbo whereby Hunt isn't sacked but nobody is convinced.


But have we been good because of obvious tactical adjustments?....

I'm not sure....

I agree that a draw just prolongs the doldrums....

Re: Club culture - are problems deeper than management?

To be success commercially, we need more fans attending games and the profile that comes with playing at a higher level. Absolutely, but how does the current predicament really stem from the Culture? Teams with a great Culture can under perform and toxic teams can be very successful (albeit usually...

Re: Club culture - are problems deeper than management?

The Man United analogy is interesting.... From an owner's perspective, Man United is a hugely successful commercial entity... Given the choice, would the new ownership here prefer: a) a commercially successful club with a mid team or b) a mid commercial performance and a good team... (& I know t...

bit short on specifics - if the academy is going to lose a net of £2.5-£3M this year and Bearwood has a bigger deficit attached to it (bigger than £3M a year???) - what are the plans for new revenue streams?

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Having read the transcript. Rob is a bit tight-doesn't want to spend money on signing players. I'm not sure that he appreciates that we got lucky with frees for Wing, Pereira, Knibbs and Smith as this season's newbies don't look to be in the same class and rabbits can't always be pulled from the ha...

Re: Rumour - Gareth Ainsworth

Mike Dodds (current Wycombe manager) rumoured to be close to the sack. Not saying we appoint him to replace Hunt but reading some of the comments on Twitter he sounds a better coach than manager so a jobs-for-the-boys backroom staff appointment? Also, Brogue mentions Warnock then within the hour he...

Re: Hunt out.

I'm not sure I care enough if Hunt stays or goes but I will say, if they replace him now, especially with Ainsworth then the last 4 months has been a masterful display of wasting time by the new owners. It would almost need to be applauded. Surely that prize goes to the new US owners of Sheffield U...
