What answer can a Board member possibly give which will satisfy everyone in the equation?

You know as well as I do that difficult questions are never answered, replies are usually full of spin & go along the lines of;
"The matter is currently under consideration"
"The person dealing with this is still formulating this findings"
" A full appraisal of the situation will be conducted before any action is taken"
"The situation at this moment in time is very fluid & we are awaiting further developments"
"There are no current plans to change direction."
etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

something like "hi everyone, we are pleased to announce that we are firing mr x."

So what's the point in asking the questions in the first place? We're back to not bothering to have a FF.

What are you going to do to address our current very, very poor situation which shows no signs or chances of improving?

Here here, i don't think they can be blamed for appointing Knill far from it. I doubt even they had an inkling at just what a walking disaster area this man really is. We find ourselves here again board with a serious decision to make. Give him until just before Christmas and then if results / performances haven't improved then get rid with festive tidings. Cruel but he has had an opportunity that cannot be abused in the way that he has done so and if he doesn't want the job then he is going the right way about it. Give him the 5 or 6 game window and then despatch if he continues to managing in his own secret world in his head. It is sad and it costs money but there is a moral implication here. We all go on about bankers and top knobs failing but still not getting any comeuppance, well this cannot be allowed to happen with Alan. Get things moving Alan or go and look for work like the rest of us have to.

I would guess he has lost the dressing room by now.

Do you think he even knows where it is to loose it?

It doesn't matter anyway, there's no f*cker in it. They're all out on loan and when the loanees go back it will be like the Mary Celeste!!

Don't think that he will be given that long, already a third of the season has gone & we are now in the bottom two in the league, & in freefall. The smart clubs started brandishing their knives in October & clubs like Accy & Hartlepool look like they are getting it together very nicely. I saw a few directors " having a chat" after the game, it is possible that they were arranging a meeting for Monday morning.

Well we'll see but i think he has long enough now personally to be at least showing us signs of progress but he only succeeds in plumbing new depths of despondency each passing week which cannot go on much longer. Not least because of the results but also because the standard of football is so clinically horrific. This will mean less coming through the gates. I think the fans have been fair and patient in the main and nobody has shouted for his head yet at games i don't think? He's had his last chance. This is absolutely serious but i honestly believe that you could drag a fan from the terraces at the beginning of the season and they wouldn't be far off what Knill has 'achieved'. I truly believe he is that inept.

Why is it we could see this a couple of months ago and the directors can't I wish the players would revolt it would then show the 've got a bit of passion. Directors please stand up and get your club out of this mess.

Why do we have ready cash for naff loanees but not for transfers?
