Folks

Lets give whoever comes in the benefit of the doubt until next season, this squad that SK has put together is a horror show so the new guy has utter garbage to work with!!!!!!!!

Here is the biggest problem, and one we have walked ourselves into. 

Previously, when replacing a manager mid season, we have had the players there for the new gaffer to work with, this time around, I dont think even pep could keep us up.

The CEO needs to sort both the manager and the broader senior roles within the club.    

A few folk have mentioned McCall being one of the last decent managers we had 10 years ago.   

just comparing some of the squad from then to now (on McCalls last season when the wheels came off) 
Lee Hollis, Steve McManus, Shaun Hutchinson, Simon Ramsden, ZFA, Stevie Hammell, Chris Cadden, Keith Lasley,  Faddy, Lee Erwin,  John Sutton, Lional Ainsworth.    

Majority would breeze into our starting 11. We're probably not that different but it was clear we had
1) better quality
2) several players who came through the youth team
3) 22/30 from the squad were Scotts 

now 
1) quality lacking 
2) Miller & Wilson from youth team 
3) 10/30 are Scotts.   Majority now from England.

Overall I feel we've really lost our way, the model of brining in journeyman from all over has lost our identity.

We were always known for being a little bit amateurish but had plenty of folk around who cared. The core of players I'd question how many really care about the club. Same for some of the senior roles. 

In addition to appointing a new manager we need a long hard look at our strategy and getting back to our core. I know people often joke about having Van Der Gage, Nijholt, McFadden, Craigan, Lasley etc all back but at least they gave a damn.

If puts paid to the myth its a decent squad. It isn't its full of utter shite and we are wasting LM , he should have gone in January to help him. The squad has losers written all over it and if any team has momentum for 11th (or god forbid 12th) its us.

Frail saying new manager is bringing his own assistant. 

Complete fresh look is required. 

Thank god for that all we need now is the board to get tried of Daws and we might have a chance this summer of doing something lol.

However they board properly think he is doing a good job.

I think the ketsbaia stuff is all from his agent, it definitely cones across that way. Either way, I hope the announcement brings a bit of excitement and sets us up for another win against utd.

if its a choice between him and Ketsbia Id take van der gagg but not fussed on either. 

He successfully managed Maritimo (sp), a Madeiran island team playing in the Portuguese league.

Madeira is my favourite holiday destination so this links Grizzly's holiday chat with the manager thread. It is a dead cert!!!

Mitchell van der Gaag would be an exciting appointment at least.

Whether he has the ability to be a success remains to be seen, but Im all aboard giving it a try!

Yes, that's the way forward. Decent guy that Stephen Frail is, he is/was part of the problem. An off the field clear out is necessary with a fresh pair of eyes. However we do need someone with a knowledge of the Premiership to support the new man until the end of the season.

A tad harsh. Yes, there is a lot of deadwood in our bloated squad but there are some decent players in there too. There are several problems though. The team is suffering from low confidence and secondly isn't playing for the current/old regime. Most importantly though we aren't getting the best out of what we have. Poor team selections, like today, and playing players out of position. We're no world beaters but aren't as bad as we appear to be. There's hope yet
