Potential Replacements - The Obvious Ones

[SUSSEX DAGGER]

He would certainly know how to get results at this level.[/quote]


Errrr so why was he sacked by Cheltenham oh yes for failing to get results at thus level.[/quote]

He built a great side at Cheltenham but like all clubs they got sold or left for bigger contracts then results dipped, previous to that they did very well on a limited budget.[/quote]

But ultimately got the sack !!!

So a bit like Wayne the poor sod was stabbed in the back the minute things went astray . Notice that the new guy who was also availiable because he was so fantastically good has done even worse.

When was Burnett stabbed in the back?
The minute things went astray was over a year a go and he hasn't gone.
Deluded.

Everyone mentioned so far would be great (Sturrock can ****** off though). Mark Yeates is a great shout, I always thought he was a very good manager

Your football opinions belong in a fantasy world.

So you clowns think there is a successful Manager out there who will rock up here with no money to spend and turn us around on a pittance of pay in comparison to other Clubs and I am the deluded one.

So after accepting that Boxing Day was totally unacceptable and the team was not playing for this Manager and perhaps it was in everybody's interest to move on I am still waiting to hear of an alternative that is likely to do any better. All I have heard is Manager who like Wayne had a little bit of success and ended up out of work cos they were so good.

Go with it sack Wayne and pick one of your so called stars and all you will end up with is the same as what you have now. At the moment you have an unproven Manager with 4 months of football left on his contract and you want to replace him with one with at least two years.

Brains of my kids rocking horse.

You should join the board that are exactly the same as you, Clueless.

Yes. We are an opportunity for somebody who has fell off the radar. Managers the sack all the time. Russ Wilcox was available the other week and took over a team that at the time were below us in the league. He went a ridiculous number of games unbeaten at Scunny who then (imo) unfairly sacked him in League 1 as they started slowly but had a ton of injuries. Now is he a bad manager? There will be managers out there who are decent but haven't had the break or opportunity.

Mark Cooper is a good example. Had an alright spell at Tamworth but nothing special. Then dropped a league to take over Kettering (Conf North) and had a super season and a half. This got him the Posh job after Darren Ferguson which at the time was a hard act to follow. He had a bad time there, got the sack. Went to Darlo, did ok but ultimately it was a tough situation there and he got the sack. Then took over at Telford and had a record of 4 defeats out of 5. Now you look at that record and we'd all be on here bemoaning him if he was appointed our new manager. Can't hack it people would say. One hit wonder, others would say. Or you could look at it and say that certain jobs like the Peterborough and Darlington ones weren't quite right for him at the time. Now he is in charge of a Swindon team that are absolutely flying in League 1.

So yes Sussex, although on the surface there may not appear to be any 'successful' managers out there, there will be managers capable of being a success with us. Otherwise what is the point in carrying on? We may as well just fold as there is no hope that we could ever appoint a manager who would become a success.

Martin Ling. Departed Torquay because of health issues. Prior to that he had done very well at Torquay. Plus, he has a history of managing down this way. If he's healthy, and I've read/heard in the past that he's willing to get back into football, then he's your man.

Guys apart from Jose and his millions and the other bloke at bayern,all other managers have had failure surely even the ones at the highest level.Even basil fawlty has destroyed his legacy at the Emirates.Even fergie was ten minutes away from the chop at forest.It goes with the job and I think you'd be surprised by not only how many apply but there would be some excellent candidates go for the job.That said it ain't gonna happen with this gutless board of ours,and Wayne is obviously too proud to walk,God knows I hope he turns it round,but we've been on borrowed time now for too long and I feel it's game up.I can only think they're holding out for zav to save the day,but I fear that will be too late in the day,if or when he gets back,be a bloody great way to pay the club back for giving him a contract.

Yates and Tilson have to be preferable to Taylor.

No you're deluded because you think people have said things that they haven't. No one and I repeat no one, has claimed a successful manager will just rock up. What has happened is that people have explained the sort of manager that might fancy the job, and might actually be a little bit better than the failure we have now.

So how is a Manager who has acheived everything that his employer has asked of him and once again appears on course to do so again a failure.

Suppose it all boils down to your expectations from a team made up of Players nobody else wanted. That's the reality of the situation and one you frustrated Premier League wannabe fans will never accept .

Paul Ince?

Off the top of my head I recall him doing very well at Macclesfield when down in L2, and maybe also at MK Dons? Local guy too

Oh god, you've gone and got yourself wedged right back up his arse again haven't you.
He isn't currently on course to keep us up. It may have escaped your attention but we're in a relegation place and have been slowly declining (that's declining, not improving) pretty muh ever since he's been manager.

As for being a wannabe Premier League fan, I've only ever supported one club and have said many times before that I have preferred our time outside of the Football League to the time in it. Doesn't sound like a wannabe Premier League supporter to me.
Not only are you deluded you are also clueless.

[ARNU]

Sussex...mate....How can you have such an irrational pathological hatred of a player because he played for Pompey for 5 minutes yet cant even muster up mild displeasure for a manager who has won only 3 home league games from 11 this season ??

Its a bit unfair to call us clowns for wanting him to either sort it out or ****** off.If the club want to play Russian roulette with their league status unfortunately for us its their call.

[Diggerthedog]

If we lose Saturday and he is still here for Oxford then focus will switch to the board no doubt.

Totally unacceptable
NOT playing for the manager
In everyones interest to move on

Fair play Sussex, wayne has turned things around to a degree I certainly never ever expected, but please dont make out he has always had your absolute, unwavering support ....
I know in the main youve backed him but there was a stage where even u thought he needed to go.
