Nico will most likely retire due to his now poor name within football.

Mansel has a few Suitors. Dagenham/Luton/Cambridge if promoted. I sit back and await him signing the bottom line.

I know what happened from numerous sources. Not point going over old ground. So like I say good luck Mansel

I won't be coming back to watch conference football. I said at the time if you get rid of Knill you better replace him with someone capable! Have no confidence for next year so I will just renew my Gullsplayer online and listen in.

After finding out how Nico acted this season I only have one thing to say on this thread.

Thanks for your service Mansel! Always had the best intentions for the club.

Knill left us one point of relegation

When Knill left we heavily backed CH, so improvements occurred (as would expect)

Knill last 5 games were 2wins 1draw 2losses. The loses coincided with Marquis being recalled for a short time.

Marquis and labadie were bth penned in to come back and Marquis obviously would rather play with Knill than CH. Who's goals at important times kept them up.

This is were we lost it. AK was bringing in a striker that could save us. Sacking him meant he was not to come and then we could never replace even though CH tried and failed.

AK had a part to play but if we had appointed a better manager we would have been safe. The 3-0 loss yesterday was nothing to do with AK it was a total embarrassment.

Not going too well this Poll.

I decided enough was enough after Northampton.

Cannot see myself going for a long while yet. I was looking to a revolution with Nico/Mansell all on there way out and a rebuild. CH cannot even drop Mansell or Nico so they will be here for many years to come.

Have a day off?

I don't hardly post on here anymore, as the majority of posters are pretty clueless. Look at the support CH has here its ridiculous. He snaked his way into a job, and now is failing massively with backing. Things need to be said, its quite obvious.

Hector take apart the point in regards to numerous signings? 11 players he has in, 100% of a team if he so wished. He is failing but this a previous managers fault?

I work in facts and figures so lets have a look at the facts.

Knills last 5 games WWDLL = 7 points
Background information: We lost Marquis after the W, and struggled since then as Stockley was also injured.

Hargreaves Last 5 games LLLDL = 1 Point

To the people that said about being Knills squad. Since Hargreaves has arrived he has signed the following:
Shaun Cooper ,Joss Labadie ,Stockley (Resigned) ,Showumni ,Wilkinson, O Brien, Stevens , O'Connor (resigned) and Rudge

Also CH had the financial clout to recall back Lathrope and had Harding back fit which AK didn't have. So in total 11 further options that AK had. He could have got rid of O Conoor and Stockley so they effectually are classes as his signing. He has nearly replaced the whole team, and yet plays Knills players? Benyon back in starting line up?. Our goal last week from Harding to benyon and goal. CH should be thankful Knill has left him with some decent players, as the players we have brought in since then haven't been up to scratch.

The blame lies with Thea for getting rid of AK too soon, he was just turning it around and we pulled the trigger. We then employed someone who was trying to get the old manager the sack from the Chesterfield game at home, we then give him funds that we didn't the old manager. He then comes in with extra finances and fails to bring in decent players. AK was brought in same time last year to keep us up and was successful. He needed to freshen the team up again and this time they said let CH do that. Terrible choice.

I blame Thea then CH then AK.

We are destined now to be obsolete in the football world.

However when we read the Blame game CH seems to be a master.

Few weeks ago: Team is good enough to stay up
Then Takes Charge: Still good enough
Few Defeats: Knills Fault
Last week : Finances
This week: Should have had a pen etc etc.

So a team with no money who have multiple board members to combat this problem, and your suggestion is trim down the board members.

Are you being serious?

Lets see the donations then….

I started a thread Yesterday about realism, so the next day we want Neil Warnock as our manager! How crazy are some people on here?

Only one man crazy enough to take the job and that is Hargreaves.

What is the problem with Nicholson?

He is a quite dreadful player, with a terrible attitude. Fair enough if it was just Knill but the board backed his decision due to how he has been. Either way Nicholson has to follow him out the door.

i don't think any manager will do well here, unless investment is made on the field.

He would look at our budget and laugh, we have to go lower down the pecking order.

We are not an attractive club for anyone at the moment.

Hargreaves is the only one crazy enough to take the job.
