A manager who’s not used to pushing for promotion at this level… it’s not rocket science, is it. Poor choice from the off, far better options out there - likes to talk the talk but he’s certainly not walking…
I said when he was appointed it was an uninspiring bang average appointment - mid league one vibes. I’ve not seen anything yet to prove me wrong, but I honestly do hope he can get us playing better because we’ve yet to play anyone good.
Looked great on his debut but got progressively worse since. Games just seem to pass him by and inevitably gets subbed after an hour. Not sure where we play him in our system to make him effective. Looks like another we’ve signed based on the stats without knowing where he fits in.
That's because we spaffed (sorry for the bojoism) £750 grand on a promising L2 / upcoming L1 player and gave him to a Conference level coach to turn him into a non league nobody.
Can't just keep sacking managers though - our turnover rate is ridiculous. We must have had 10 gaffers in the last 8 years or whatever it is - just means that there's no stability and it costs a bomb to keep getting rid, paying off, then hiring again. It's pretty clear we shouldn't have sacked Collins last year, so let's give Clarke more time. Otherwise it's the reset button again, it's more cost and its another Coach who needs time to settle and bring more players in. Whoever is making the decisions in the board room probably wants a good bollocking.
