What’s annoying is, as a complete no one in football circles, i still managed to hear from people who had had dealings with Fozza when his name was mentioned. Not one had a positive thing to say about him and were stunned we appointed him. I believe he was looking for a job in Scotland outside the Premier Division or whatever they call it. Having said that Peter Jackson was even less of a no one, many clubs appoint ex players like SuperMac with zero evidence they can manage/coach. No one is claiming we didn’t get it wrong, i just think we need to get on with it. We married a pig with no pre nup, no point dreaming of the pretty girl next door, make the best if your ugly wife. Get on with what ? guaranteed relegation ! There are 17 games left, 51pts to play for. We have a slim chance of staying up if MF is removed and replaced with the correct coach. Make the best of it....deary me We surpassed the four point barrier on game 9, so by Fortheringham's calculations that means that a quarter of a season is eight games. With 17 games left, we've over half a season to sort this mess out. Plenty of time. |

There doesn't appear to be any issue with the players dedication, or even their morale. The problem is that we need a manager/coach who is tactically astute and can get us playing with a clear plan on how to score goals and win games. I'm just saying that if it's money that's the issue and we can't afford to pay MF off and appoint someone else, a person like Hogg who played under the tutelage of Wagner and Corboran may have the requisite knowledge of tactics to improve our situation. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely 100% clutching at straws here but this is exactly where the situation has left me. It probably wouldn't get any worse that's for sure; it's evident that the issue is we have got MF on a ridiculous 3-year contract that we can't afford to pay off and the club are just hanging everything on us scraping enough points to survive. |

Things must be bad when the Examiner is being critical: Good stuff from Chicken. It is clear as day that he is miles out of his depth and somebody needs to start putting pressure on the club from the outside. Glennon has too. |

Things must be bad when the Examiner is being critical: Fair play to Chicken. It is clear as day that he is miles out of his depth and somebody needs to start putting pressure on the club from the outside. Glennon has too. It's just a shame the club don't seem to be able to read the runes and understand how their customers feel. |

Make the best of it....deary me I disagree i think we can stay up and have a better chance than with Chicho or Brookie the Kit Man I tell you what, Brookie has been around enough managers to see whats going on right now is utter garbage. Fotheringhams methods and footballing ideology are outdated and redundant. There is a reason we are outplayed by a team that hasn't won for 11 games and with only 10 men |

I agree, mistakes have happened but just because you’ve got some of your old work mates phone numbers do you really think you should be affecting the fan bases thinking by pushing personal agendas on here? As a fan I’m not so sure personally. Please shut up, I’d much prefer if you stopped posting and Maynard continued as their posts are valued on here. If he/she or ‘they’  posted things blaming PH you’d be fine with it. My posts aren’t valued? fair enough. Only asking for some balance. |

Facebook/Twitter - rumours he’s gone along with Bromby - how great would that be if it was remotely true. Seeing a rumour that he's gone but then realising it originated from someone on facebook  |

MF is absolutely urgent if we want to stay in the division, and surely the ownership would see the expense as a sensible one. Bromby will be rightly disposed of when the new owners come in, but surely we can get by with him sticking around for a while longer without going through the hassle? But Bromby is quite clearly as **** at his job as Fotheringham so if we get rid of MF then why should LB remain? |

It's a fans forum end of the day and we're all fans. Appreciated and likewise, just hope people can see the same. It’s a unique situation, failures on all sides which has tied the club up in knots. As far as I can see everyone wants a positive outcome , but the situation has unfortunately pitted interests against each other and they’re all understandably protecting their interests. It’s unfortunate that there is a legal element complicating matters but the main parties are Town fans, and where there’s a will there’s a way 🤞 |

Christ, isn't he on no more than £150k a year? Even if he was paid up in full (which he won't be) it's under £400k. We can't afford NOT to sack him. MF is right up there with the highest paid people at the club. Getting rid of him will run into 7 figures. Bloody hell, which dickhead signed that off 😲 |

Literally came on to say the same! 😂 At least York see he’s out of his depth and moved quickly. Jeez, never knew he'd actually got another job in football after us. The guy was a complete fabrication !! There were more sightings of Lord Lucan than David Webb at Canalside. Reading his post match interview, he seems to be just as tone deaf as our own dear leader. “I’ve got nothing to prove, in terms of my career, and the levels I have worked at and the clubs I have worked at.” Webb explained. |

We're stuck in a tough place.
The person making the decision is the Director of Football.
If he sacks the manager - he's admitting he's dropped two clangers in a row and should probably walk too.
He's firing himself by firing the manager.
Let's see how that plays out - does the CEO have the balls to make a double call?
