Costs was only appointed manager at AVS a few months ago, going very well in Portuguese second division with none other than Jorge Teixeira playing for them. Funnily enough the club was only founded 4 months ago and went straight into the second tier which probably tells you quite a bit about the Portuguese football pyramid.

I didn't It's taken longer than they expected Their first choice said no Managers of other clubs said no One club refused our approach We're now shovelling through the shit
It feels now more like Holden leaving was unplanned and perhaps there was a falling out AND an assumption on the SMT part they had someone lined up has fallen through.
Otherwise our incompetence of recent years appears to remain in tact. 🙂
Who's everyone's favourite pick from the 2001/02 squad as manager? I don't meant the one with the best managerial record, I mean your favourite to have as manager. I'm going Kish with Andy Todd as assistant.
Alternatively a rotating managerial carousel across the season of Svensson, Pringle, Lisbie and Johansson who aren't quite good enough overall as managers, but each win 5 games a season to get us where we need to be
I will be completely underwhelmed if its Appleton or The Cowleys, they are hardly awe-inspiring, and I'm not sure they will be anything but 'yes' men. Why change without a plan B? I just don't get it!
Well, because it wasn’t working, and very basic mistakes were being made re line-up, formation and substitutions. E.g. leaving Asiimwe on when his legs had gone, when there was a replacement on the bench. Realistically how are we supposed to find a manager who is awe inspiring, when we’re floating around outside the relegation zone in L1 with owners who are an unknown quantity.
It’s either the likes of Appleton and Cowley, who have at least has some success in lower league football, or a Jimmy Seed left field appointment, based on ‘a good feeling’. Do we as a fan base have the patience for one of those?
I suspect the club are waiting for a busy news time that will hopefully distract the fans and then announce the appointment. They must be preying for Putin to do something really stupid
Next appointment is absolutely crucial, without sounding too doomsday, balls this one up, and they’ll be little left of the club in league 2, we need someone who can unite the fans, and not be so naff they’ll get the heave ho by Christmas.
The reason there is no discipline at the club and hasn't been for 3 years is because the players know the manager isn't actually in charge of anything.
If he upsets them they can just down tools and wait for them to be sacked.
That's the root of it and has been the case since the international break before we played Gillingham away under Bowyer.
Interesting you mention that date. I'm guessing Roddy was appointed around that time.

David Collis for me.

Maybe we’re looking for a versatile manager, who can manage in a number of different positions or across the board. ‘A jack of all trades, master of none’ type.

Richard Rufus?
Could probably convince the courts it’s a worse punishment than prison
Yes we’re in deep doodoo. I gave up on this clutch of owners/smt around 6 weeks ago. Hope we get a ‘ strong man ‘ manager, not holding my breath. Bowyer for me but appears he’s not been contacted.
Personally I’d even welcome back Robinson, his scouse verbal diarrhoea worth putting up with if he could sort us out. Anybody but Appleton!

No wonder you have trouble with your stool.
Bit harsh to judge a manager if hes only had average/poor squads to work with.
A bit like the players we generally sign.
