    Would Connor be daft enough to take the role? Any HC here is on hiding to nothing. May as well start handing out contracts for 23 league games with how often we go through head coaches and then we can get rid at the halfway point if they're *****!

    Has to be asked.

    Worked under a shoe string at Rotherham where he didn't get backed and they didn't have a pot to piss in and he stayed there long enough putting up with it.

    Went to Derby when they came down in a mess with next to no players. It's not like he always picks insanely well run sides.

    Imo it's the sole reason he came here from both his viewpoint and the clubs

    How desperate would a descent manager have to be to take on this job with the owners knowing b.gger all about running a football club.

    Doubt Conor is a yes man. Can’t see him taking the job as his first head coach role to be a puppet for a this clueless lot.
    Think he’d only take it on his terms with a say in recruitment.

    Needs to stop getting relegated if he wants to kick on and avoid another basket case poisoned chalice

    I don't think he's very good, I didn't Collins but we keep appointing these clowns. What's point in savking another we go through managers like I don't know what. If we get rid go for Warne. But I imagine Rotherham might want him losing at home to Shrewsbury close to the drop.... experienced players serving them well.

    Never had a chance to keep Rotherham up as they never gave him a side capable of stopping up.

    Clarke has never taken a side near championship. Warne has done it 4 times. Clear upgrade

    Every time they were promoted the club sold his best players...and replaced them with rubbish...hardly Warnes fault.

    Yeah it’s rare that we do things that make sense these days. Probably end up back at Rovrum.

    Yeah imagine he was on a decent wedge at Derby. Although he was also at Rovrum before so who knows. He certainly knows how to get out of this league.

    Warne will be getting paid more by Derby to stay without a job, than we'd be willing to pay him to take on our job.

    To be fair, and appreciate it was bonkers, Farrugia did OK. Should have had a pen as well tbh. DKD was really good as well - never shirks, offered all the time, took his goal well. Could have had a point easily. Clearly headed for mid table but I can see glimmers for next season.....

    Won't sack Clarke as it will cost money.

    I honestly think we’ve been the better side in most matches this season. Definitely opportunities to improve at both ends of the pitch, eliminating mistakes and finishing chances, but at least we’re making some and normally more than our opposition.

    I agree, but he's hardly earned the opportunity with his contribution so far.
