Fletcher Gone

"The reaction to losing is typically to look at changing the management set-up and I've got no doubt some fans will be looking for a change," Brent said.

"But I get many more people writing to me saying 'don't blink and give in to others who are hankering for a change in the management team, we have a great manager who will go far and please support him'.

"I think I get more criticism for the short nature of Carl's contract than for the fact that he's on a contract."


So did you start to receive letters then Jim? I would blame the postman if I was you!

No bullets necessary Charlie

“The Board will now seek promptly to appoint a new manager with significant experience of football management."

If the speccy banker replaces clueless with wotton or purse or even larrieu or Nancekevill then that will seal our fate next May. There will be no hope of survival. Who is advising brent? Oh f***!!!!

Clueless?

2013 First in football?

So, if this is right then who will be the next manager? - He has to be as cheap as Fletcher so that rules out pretty much all other league managers so on that basis I predict that Wotton will be sitting in the managers chair next week. Great eh!

GOB,if they go back on this statement,then there will be serious hell breaking loose;



"The Board will now seek promptly to appoint a new manager with significant experience of football management."

Although it does say "of football managemnent" rather than "in football management".Could be Purse or Wotton then-they would fit that criteria.Shit.

Sparksey has dampened my spirits somewhat. We don't need them in charge even for one game.

Amazing timing though. Minutes after final whistle. With a coach journey home. Was he actually on notice before the game. Has replacement been identified. Keith Hill sitting in the dug out for the next game. No time to dilly dally on finding replacement. Search for DOF off.

I thought that Dougie. I hope Brent has the common decency to hire a car and driver (maybe Esmer ) for Fletch. Whilst his choice of Manager was wrong I do think he was right to be dismayed at the "sack em" culture of football boards. I only hope he gets the next appointment right. Keith Hill is the obvious choice although no doubt there are FV's clamouring for Curbishley as we speak

Nancekavill and larrieu must follow clueless out the door!

Yup but even so, I can't see many managers wanting to take the job on for the same amount of cash as Fletcher did. It's gonna get interesting.

Turning out to be a great day. Just got back from a nice stroll around Burrator. Forgot it was 1pm kickoff! Fletcher sacked, and a nice roast on the go!

Life is good!

There will be managers of INTERNATIONAL standing wanting this job, dozens and dozens of em!

Well that's another "looked into his eyes" that Newell got wrong then

That man is such a shit judge of character

I expect Brenty is in conclave right now with his two top cardinals being advised who the right man is. Oh for having that experienced CE already in place to run a proper recruitment.

feckin yes!

Happy new year everyone!
