What's that metallic noise? Is it my neighbours wheel bearings or the sound of the board sharpening their knives?

Think it's AustrianAndyGull's music Wodger ! Would very much doubt that our Board are considering cutlery games ......

how about re appointing Buckle

How about appointing someone who isn't two sandwiches short of a picnic in some way for a kick off. I'm bloody amazed I haven't been offered the job if i'm honest! Why do we get blokes with issues all the f*cking time?!!

Buckle was a megalomaniac and an arrogant little weasel, Ling couldn't cope with the pressure and went under and Knill thinks footballers are like Subbuteo players, made of plastic, can stick them anywhere even if they have got bits missing, he can magic them up at random for a month here and there out of their packets when they aren't even needed and bingo, we'll be ok!!! On the plus side he loves squirrels and so everything is rosy. Jesus bloody wept. No wonder we're in the sh*t.

We don't do things by halves do we?!

Got to be honest, I'd have Buckle of those three any day of the week. I honestly think that if he'd have stayed, we'd be in League 1 by now.

I suppose you're right Luke. I know Buckle had a decent budget but the football was decent on a fairly regular basis, he was ambitious, knew what he wanted and knew what he was doing.

Ling knew what he wanted and got it first season although the football was regularly dire but couldn't change things when it started to go wrong.

Knill just doesn't really appear to know what he's doing nor inspires confidence at all.

I guess Buckle despite his character flaws would be good for us at the moment. We're a rudderless ship.

yes but we were to small for buckle as he stated on several occasions and he was to big for his size fives, good manager at the time but sorry wouldnt want the weasel back, LEROY! LEROY!

Sheffield United have sacked David Weir, after even less games than Knill. Perhaps they don't want to get relegated!

They actually have money to spend compared to us !

Plus to be fair, any one of us could have got more points on the board managing Sheff U than Weir has so justified sacking. If you perform AS badly as they have then there are no excuses.

Accrington haven't sacked their manager, are you suggesting the DO want to get relegated?

Matt.

Just a quick flash poll if money was no object would you sack knill ??

Most people will bottle this question and then moan about those who say yes.

For me it's a definite yes.

He's only played 11 games (plus 2 cup lost both without scoring) and I find him bizarre. It scares me he is control of our football club. Apart from signing Chappell nothing he does makes any sense.

Ling = predictable

Knill = erratic / confusing

Can we have someone in the middle please? Blackwell?

I'm sticking with him because we don't have any choice. I do think we'll stay up but we'll be sh*tting ourselves for many many months yet and he is clearly not the right man to add a little spice to stability.

If you add the games from last march 17 games 4 wins 6 draws 7 losses, it's not a great record is it.

I don't count last season supergulls.

This season we've been all over the shop when we needn't have been. Simple as.
