    Don't forget Buxton and the fact we spent some decent money in those days and were still terrible.

    Jamie Lawrence. Pretty sure it may have been a midweek game when he made his debut, Luton? Was hyped up about having rapid pace and a long throw. Garbage!!

    Funnily enough I am a manager who employs other managers, but to compare it to football is rather silly, don't you think
    We are already behind the promotion pack, 8 days is long enough to carry out interviews and appoint someone equipped to get us promoted. Weird like, but I doubt "Fans like me" is in the forefront of his mind. Not sure where I said the first bloke who can get here should get the job. Smacks of small time

    I remember that game vividly. He mishit a clearance into the paddock that nearly took my head off.
    He went on to have a decent career though. Played in the Premier League for Bradford City and played in the League Cup Final for Leicester.

    Stuart Donald must have been thinking about sacking Jack Ross for some time, so to sack him without having someone lined up or a plan to replace him is pretty poor don't you think?

    If he makes a mistake and does not correct it, this is called a pisstake.

    I can see where your coming from but pinning all of your hopes on one man for 9 months (BSA excluded) and hoping he can give you promotion sounds good.. What if he does'nt achieve promotion, what happens then. I'd far sooner have a longer term plan, we cant guarantee investors, to give us a sounder base other than what we found Jack ross was capable of.. 2 year contract would suffice most.
