    It looked like he was reading from the autocue.

    But he knows we need a knew manager along with big changes. Mind you would have to live in a cave to not know that.

    Can I ask why?
    The reason I ask, I had the opportunity to speak with him on a number of occasions, and to be honest, he didn't really have a clue how to fix things (his words).
    That aside, a very nice bloke

    Agreed, fantastic bloke and love that he lives and breathes the club, but would not be the right appointment

    No, but it shows how sick people are of this situation.

    We need an appointment from the head, not the heart.

    I think my point was missed, I said interim until we get another manager. My main point was to get Parkinson out.

    I would take Grant as player manager for a few weeks, can’t be any worse. Unfortunately the Oxford hobbits won’t pay cash for dinosaurus to **** off

    Don't disagree.... however, if 11 professionals can't step over that white line and have a clue what they need to do; then shame on them. Too easy for them and everyone else to blame tactics. To quote Cloughie; "tactics don't lose you games, players do".

    As I said, don't disagree and he's not what we need.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Are the new owners (fingers crossed) willing to invest in the wider city and not just SAFC does anyone know? I know it was mooted earlier in the thread about wider investment about infrastructure etc, just wondering if these are the same people with now it's in the public domain. Cheers.

    When you say guidance ?? Do you mean things like;

    Pass to your own team ?
    Don't dive in and leave a huge gaping gap for the opposition to exploit
    Don't let the ball dribble through your legs
    Don't let your second touch be a tackle
    Decide when to press and when to drop?

    Most of the things professional footballers should know.

    I don't rate his style of play, don't even know what tactics he uses. What I do know, some of these players aren't very good.

    Wasn't a dig at you at all @John Wick, its where we are at the minute

    No, it wasn't missed. I would just get a new manager, no need for an interim

    Don't know the rules so simply asking.

    Can you have a player/manager if he doesn't have his coaching badges and does Grant have them?
