Most managers come in and give an immediate lift, this guy has been the opposite. Its fucking dreadful and I pray he fucks off.

To be brutally honest I for one would not shed any tears if we never saw Money again. This season increasingly appears to be a case of deja vu of the previous relegation campaign. For Dave Jones read Dicky Dosh - another ageing manager who has certainly done it all and worn several t-shirts but is living off his own backstory and unable to stop the rot.

Although it pains me to say it if Money does walk I would give the job to our esteemed DoF for the remainder of the season and attempt to keep us in this wretched league (Davies was spot-on in his assessment of the NL). After all, Higgy must surely have had a hand in recruiting most of the latest hapless bunch to pull on the formerly well-respected blue & white stripes - give him the opportunity to get us out of another fine mess.

Apologies to the usual blinkered suspects for the verboden negativity but it is clear to see that we will be in deep shit in just a matter of weeks.

He won't walk. On a contract to be paid money. Money will stay while been paid.
Why would he care. Why would we care anymore. I feel sorry for Raj and Jeff reputations and business associates..

That's what I thought. He alluded to it in Podcast. The club is toxic, didn't look like they were playing for him, or the fans for that matter, or maybe they are just shit. I cant think of one thing any individual in our team , really excels at , and certainly they don't excel at any one thing as a group , shooting, heading, strength, dribbling etc. Even the likes of Donaldson and Hawkes seem out of sorts now. Again I thought Money picked the wrong team, but you cant sow a silk purse with a sows ear, so whatever team he picked outcome would probably of been the same.

A bit harsh Joe, Money has walked into a shit storm. He is the right man for the job, but is he in the right place at the right time, he has inherited a load of shite, and for me a lot of the problems start and stop with Hignett, what the fook is his role at the club?. If his knowledge of the game is that good, take the fookin job for gods sake, only do a better job than you did last time. Money is no mug, he will walk if he cant see any light at the end of the tunnel, he isn't going to have a honeymoon period, half the fans seem to dislike him already. He can smell a rat at 12 paces, beginning to wonder if Noble is really that injured as well, maybe he is just removing himself from the firing line, lets face it, we have seen this all before.

I think any manager would have a job on their hands with this lot, managers come and go, but nothing changes. New players come in and end up getting dragged down to the same abysmal level.
We’ve had too many changes off the field, we need to put the spotlight on what’s happening on the field.
We need the drains up.

The chairman feels he made mistakes on the Football side of things at Darlo he wants a football man running that side of things here, Hignetts role is massive and without him we might not have a club because it’s him who convinced Raj to part with his cash. Constantly questioning his role and suggesting he is removed is all a bit pointless. The current regime are not to blame for the position the club finds itself in, this is exactly what all the talk was about last week regarding anger it’s totally misdirected this is going to take time. I feel for people watching shite but we have exactly the right type of man in charge now who can turn this around given the opportunity.

Don't get me wrong horden, I fully agree with a lot of what you are saying regarding Hignett and also that Money is doing what he believes is best base on his life experience in football however I think that Money would be the first to agree that the situation at this club is probably worse than anything he has encountered in his managerial career. Its little wonder that half the fans dislike him already given that the side has lost the majority of the games since he took the helm (so much for 'new manager bounce), he has pissed off the club captain and one of the very few quality players at the club into cancelling his contract and had a go at the fans on a club podcast (no matter how he tries to backtrack and deny it). Judging by todays display the side is in freefall - with another public humiliation looming up with next weeks televised game, lets see how much support Money has on here by mid-Feb........

He had nothing to do with reason Davies departed. Also this nonsense about them ‘slagging off’ fans is utter bollocks. Everything he said on the matter is spot on. If half the fans don’t like him then half our fans are as thick as fuck.

Agree Joe, some of his team selections have been baffling, but he has made a good living out of the game and I trust he knows more than me. Personally I would of started with 1 up front today and accomodated Hawkes from the start. As for the other stuff, is it not the classic case of a new teacher coming into a school that was previously a holiday camp. In this case you either have the fights , ride it out and eventually change things for the better or you realise the situation is beyond repair and you get out quick. My money ( pardon the pun ) is on the latter , but even if he goes, don't think for one moment the next man will do any better. Until we get a more hands on , knowledgable chairman and get rid of that silly DOF role then I'm afraid I can't see things improving whoever the manager is. Raj saved us, and I'm grateful , but that doesn't equate to success on the field.

When we were in a playoff spot I said that we were a solid middle of the table outfit!
What an idiot!

If we do survive in the NL it will be largely down to the 29 points with which Bates left us.

Richardson Rodgers Magnay Amos

Featherstone

Well I did say me and Money were similar :laugh: :laugh: . Yes only one player, bet I'm technically correct, it was a different team and IMO the wrong team, I would of went with one up front to acommodate Hawkes from the start. So what is your point exactly?. sctatchinghead

Totally agree, when you play, I use that term loosely, like that, we will be lucky to avoid relegation.

The manager now knows, what a job he has got on his hands to try and sort it out.

That game was very poor, we should be given our entry money back.
