Never rated him from the off couldn't stand his post match interviews with the Franchise and the chickens are coming home to roost. Talks the talk but can't walk the walk, has never played the game at senior level which he's very conscious of, by having surrounded himself with ex pros.

Personally I don't see that it matters much if they've played the game at a high level. Plenty of very good coaches/managers haven't. And also doesn't your second point contradict your first? Seems you'd have a problem if he didn't have ex pros as coaches?

Will we lose 3-0 by default on Tuesday, when the whole squad stays at home ?

I’ll drive the chubby prick to Oxford myself

He has a good car, he can do it himself if he wants.

I have been worried about him since the post match interview last season where he was almost in tears saying he didn't know what to do. He admitted he had run out of ideas. Not the best thing for a manager to admit!

Which game was that he was nearly in tears?

HantsAddick said:

Seeing that interview I am convinced the man has completely lost his marbles! When are the men in white coats coming for him?

Only when the takeover goes through.

Anyone else happy to see Jacko till end of the season??

Long shot I know but I feel like it would have a bit of a Powell effect, steady up at the back, and the fans chanting the managers name again. At least some sort of lift.

I don't see how Jackson is remotely qualified. Give it to Euell.

If we lose 3-0 by defualt that means we forfiet the game by not physically turning up as to mentally. Having the game abandonned because we have 5 players sent off etc.... We will only lose 3-0 because they have physically scored 3 goals and we have scored none.

Yes, yes I’m beginning to understand now. Incidentally, I think your spellchecker has failed to turn up

I never said high level, I said senior level ie as a full time professional in the top four divisions which is a different definition so we're not talking about the same thing. As for my second point I have no problem with him surrounding himself with ex pros and I would probably do the same but it's down to him with the final decisions on tactics and team selection and he doesn't have his own depth of playing experience to call upon. Hope that clarifies things.

Not really sure it makes much difference what level they've played at. Nice to see you've backtracked on the second point.

I do like him and he is trying to buy into but I am starting to think it's a case of "right manager, wrong time".

He’s a complete gobshite and one of the most 1 dimensional managers I’ve ever seen. Buying into the club is a mask for how shit a manager he is. We need to kick his fat arse into touch.

He’s not. Bet he would do a better job than Robinson.

That said, I wouldn’t want Jackson or Euell.

Nothing will change, KR is safe until the takeover happens...then it's totally up to the new owners. If it happens this week I would say it's worth a gamble to get someone new in just to start the rebuild early. A few results and we could grab 6th which traditionally is for the team with that late desperate dip for the line.

What we need is for the takeover to be complete, but I can't honestly see that happening soon.

He plays people out of position just to suit his formation. Aribo isn't a number 10, his star signing is who he hardly plays. He persists playing Magennis who isn't a striker who can play on his own. In a 4231 the full back are the most exposed in this formation, Da Silva can cope with this but clearly Solly can't. We have the players that should be doing so much better.

All spot on.

Ha ha, I haven't backtracked at all, you misinterpreted where I was coming from and drew the wrong conclusion and you've just done it again. I can't help you with that.

You of course are entitled to your opinion as I am mine and we are clearly at odds here. KR has no pedigree which added to his other shortcomings like it or not, is why he's on burrowed time takeover or not. Others like Lenny or the Cowley brothers at Lincoln have other attributes to balance out their managerial capabilities. Just out of interest reel me off some managers that have been really successful (winning silverware) and have never played at a senior level.
