    Don't get me wrong here as I ain't jumping on the bandwagon just because we lost today. My thoughts haven't changed on this since last Saturday evening.

    My opinion is that Danny Wilson is the right manager for us to appoint. There are more reasons for than against for this. The board have to look it at two ways in my eyes. They have to look and see who has the right credentials to have a good go at keeping us up this season, and also should the inevitable happen and we do go down, the manager has to have good knowledge of league one and a decent track record to try and get us up. Wilson has those two credentials in my eyes. His appointment will hopefully put bums on seats as we all know what kind of style he will bring and he has good links with the fans and board alike. I know there will be the anti Wilson campaigners who still haven't forgot and forgiven him for his exit to the dee dars but I think most fans will welcome him back with open arms.

    To those who say "never go back", I'd like a legitimate reason as to why that statement makes any sense. To those who are saying "why appoint him and ruin the legacy that he created". Not for one minute do I expect Danny to re-create history here. He has worked on all kinds of budgets and not had much failure throughout his career with a career win percentage to be proud of. I'd accept Warnock as a short term manager but what happens if we do appoint Neil and we still get relegated? A new manager then comes in and has to start from scratch with no plan put in place from the previous season. If Warnock does come and be successful then happy days but there is a real risk with this appointment should it prove to be unsuccessful. All in all, whoever the board appoint will get my full backing but I do believe that we will never have a better chance to appoint Danny. It's probably now or never.

    IMO, the only real positive to danny wilson, is the boost it would give to the stands. who knows, that might the difference between staying up and not.

    I'd go with Danny too, but would keep Micky Mellon on if he was willing and Danny thought they could work together.

    Agree with every word.

    If they don't appoint Danny Wilson now, then it will appear as though the board contains one or more people who have the same 'not having Judas back' point of view as a minority of fans.

    I would expect better from them than that. But I am starting to wonder.

    It's now or never where Wilson is concerned and my opinion is that we should go and get him. Furthermore, if we go down, which I don't actually think we will with the right man in charge (and Mellon could also be that right man), we need to stick with the manager and stop chopping and changing. It's getting beyond ridiculous. But this time they need to sit and talk about a long term strategy with potential appointments and the strategy needs to encompass more than one scenario. We don't appoint a Chairman or Chief Exec who we will get rid of after a poor run of results, so we need to choose a manager on the same basis.

    Actually, does any manager these days survive relegation, unless they head straight to the top of the table early season?

    pretty sure Danny was first choice a couple of years ago but chose the blunts over us.

    He waited for the call that never came...

    Someone must be worried he might talk to John Dennis

    Haven't we been here before though? We had a long term strategy this season but if in the short term we're losing game after game, a decision has to be made. That'll be the same this time whether we appoint Wilson or Alex Ferguson.

    What we need to do is make the right managerial appointment, and that's the real trick isn't it? Warnock won't be a long term solution, but I'd have him to rescue us. But my preference would be for Danny Wilson, who would I think see this as a long term opportunity as he still has a long career ahead of him. I honestly can't see a better option for him coming along, so he'll definitely want it. I think the majority of fans either want him or would be happy with the appointment at the very least.

    I'm happy with Micky staying on in the management team too. That's up to whoever comes in.

    We need a manager who will have full support in the ground and will bring a new energy. I really don't think appointing Micky will do that. But I think Danny will.

    Whilst I would be happy with Wilson back he wouldn't be being mentioned if he hadn't previously been our manager

    There is a poll at the top of this board that shows the first choice for manager of over half the people who responded is Danny Wilson.

    I really can't see why the board are delaying on this - there surely can't be many times when one person has such resounding support.

    Completely agree. Taking a team into the premiership for the first time in their history tends to stick in the mind though doesn't it!???

    That is a poll of less than 200 people and there's no saying it would get replicated across the fan base. I am not against Wilson, but I am for Mellon. I agree with an earlier poster who said we wouldn't be considering Wilson had he not been a previous manager.

    By that logic we would not be considering Mellon were he not Flickers assistant?

    Why not a manager that's promoted a team to the prem on a low budget and had pretty good success at lower level and a good win percentage?

    I'm in no way belittling Wilson's record and as I said i'd be happy with him. Contrary to some I think he has done well since leaving us. But I genuinely don't think people would be putting his name forward had he not managed us. And he certainly wouldn't be an overwhelmingly popular choice.

    That is true, yes.

    But the margin is so overwhelming that there is a good chance that, if the poll involved the whole fan base, then he would still be a clear winner.
