    Did you even read my post
    To put it language you might understand
    You are the best pipe fitter in the shop
    The electrician is sacked and management ask you to step in until a replacement is found, even though you are not an electrician
    You try to help out the business but the factory burns down as a result of an electrical problem you didn't know how to fix.
    Do management
    1. Sack you on the spot, or
    2. Accept they got it wrong and ask you to go back to being a pipe fitter.
    I hope that analogy works.

    Aye I did. He does actually think he is head coach material which is the difference and blows your daft factory analogy out the water.

    He is chancing his arm along with his mate and safc are suffering so badly as a result.

    Well , what a sorry season. Glad it's over.

    Massive rebuild in the summer.

    From the head coach
    To Speakman
    To Young and Shah

    All need replacing.

    It certainly won't be boring

    Well I said we need to have a look at whether he’s part of the problem.

    Really.
    He knows he is not yet ready for the role of Head Coach, he has said as much.
    Yes it is a step along the path to becoming a head coach to act up as one. The experience will be invaluable.
    None of that means he wants to be head coach NOW. He is merely helping the club out in a difficult situation.
    Granted that situation shouldn't have arisen but that's not Dodds, fault somebody else has to carry the can for that debacle.

    Except he doesn't already think he's head coach material yet, he's said that himself. He said he would like to become one in the future

    So he thinks he has the tools to do it.
    He hasn't and he can't accept that so is hiding behind the future bit.
    Just needs to go.

    He hasn't helped us out though has he. He has helped facilitate some awful results, see thousands of season tickets cancelled and suck the life out of the squad.
    Cheers Doddsy and Proc for helping us out - it's been a blast.

    True, I think we’ll listen to offers for anyone to be honest and assess whether it allows us to improve. I think we’ll try to keep big exits to two or three at most though.

    I'm sure he will admit that he could have done better. He's already admitted to making mistakes, that's how most people learn to do their job better. I'm equally sure that he has done the best he can and whilst the outcome was disappointing I'll thank him for his efforts.
    The real question is why was he put in this position.

    Oldy mate, this doesn’t make sense, they are completely different roles you have quoted. Now if you had said I was an electrician and the electrical Forman left so I was asked to step up and I made a ****ing hash of it as the building burned then yes, I would be culpable. He’s supposed to be a “good coach”, I haven’t seen any coaching qualities in him at all since January.
    Now whilst I understand he has been promoted beyond his means, he should have been able to have some sort of affect on the team like tactics and formations, which is the basis of coaching and yet he hasn’t other than going backwards

    A very disappointing season. There are definitely obvious deficiencies in the squad, however we have underperformed and the squad isn’t one that should only have avoided relegation by six points imo.

    Fair enough. But in that scenario you'd have been best served not gobbing off about how sh1t all the other trades and apprentices were while you were standing in for the electrician. That would make your position untenable wouldn't it?
