    Good post. Ages ago I called Jones a mini Warnock to my lad. Never liked him parading up and down the touchline screaming and shouting this and that but I also hated playing Luton as he had them well drilled. I actually think after having such a wet lettuce of a gaffer then we need someone who demands everything from his players. Wilder, I reckon would want assurances that we just aren't capable of offering.

    I doubt Gazza would take us on, he's comfortable at Wycombe and he'd be on a hiding to nothing with our bunch of wastrels...

    This season is a write off, better to get someone short term to shore us up and keep us up

    Mine too. Exactly what we need right now. A bit of passion, a motivator and well used to working within serious constraints and getting results despite.

    If I’m right, last time this happened the club said they always had a back-up plan and a list.
    So shouldn’t be long before we hear of a new appointment.

    If I took over, I'd tell all the loan players that they don't deserve to be here and that they all start on the bench.

    I'd shout, obviously.

    I'd say we need a c*nt of a manager to shake our lot up. Jones probably fits that bill but he's failed twice away from Luton.

    Wilder has a high success rate but could be out of our price range. Both these have managed in the Premier League so that ups the wage demands and without a pot to piss in we're not an attractive option...

    Jones is a total basket case.....
    But he did brilliantly at Luton, a club with a smaller player budget than us, yet managed to pick up gems from lower leagues and played us off the park twice this season, even after he walked out on them to go to saints...
    Might not be a popular choice but may be just the sort of no nonsense manager we need....

    Hope they get next manager from europe ( germany, france , spain or italy. Better ones comes from there and they are eager to come england. They are maybe bit cheaper too???

    It’s all about the algorithms Igor. All about what the algorithms tell Beck, SLF and Hoos.
    Oh and the ouiji board, and the double-sided coin :emoticon-0105-wink:.

    Why are you being so childish about it?
    Do you think he should of stayed?
    How much longer would you have given him?

    Much of the criticism of Critchley has been about the way he speaks, which I find somewhat pathetic - childish, you might say.

    He's plainly failed and it's probably right that he goes now, but the blame lies with Beale and the players he brought in who don't want to play for anyone else.

    What a ****ing mess. As bad as things were, I'm not really sure we've got this right.

    Maybe we shouldn't have hired him in the first place. That would be the fault of the club senior figures.

    But we've just hired a manager and sacked him within 3 ****ing months.

    I question whether it's the right decision because I think the main reason for these results is a bad combination of players who care but have rock bottom confidence along with players who don't care enough. Pep Guardiola could take over and still wouldn't be able to get a response out of this lot.

    If Critchley had taken over from the start of pre-season instead of Beale, I'm sure he would have had more success than he has. But he didn't come into a very good situation to start with.

    The senior figures at the club must have a replacement they believe in already agreed. But the senior figures haven't exactly chosen well so far!

    I sadly can only imagine us continuing to dish out awful performances, regardless of who comes in now. A relegation battle is still on the cards no matter what, imo.

    I actually think we probably have less chance of staying up after sacking him. Probably would have been better to scrape through with Critchley and then change at end of season. Changing now is asking for trouble and I think this may come back to bite us.
