So, yesterday someone mentioned there being a long meeting over lunch involving the board and all the coaching staff apart from Buzz and Miller. That must have been as much about the interim arrangement as the actual decision to sack them then?
Strikes me as another big gamble, more penny pinching, and that we've probably been knocked back by Wilder

Nothing surprises me with Town any more.
A collapsing clown car of a season, we just seem to lurch from one stupid decision to the next (apart from sacking Fotheringham, that was a good one).

Narcis for minimum 3 matches Another poor decision, in a season of poor decisions, do we never learn - UTT.

If we stick with Narcis until the end of the season then we thoroughly deserve relegation IMO. Have we learned nothing from the last two disastrous appointments?

No doubt the majority will lap it up because he's a Hefele type character. Moan like fuck when we appoint two rookie managers in a row but then be absolutely buzzing when we appoint a third one, just because he's a nice guy.
Appointing assistant managers as the team manager never fucking works.

Christ give Narcis a chance, at least the players like him or so it seems. It cannot be worse than Fotheringham and least his press conferences are worth listening too. Get behind him!

Reading between the lines it's while they 'make other enquiries' - but I think we've already been knocked back - so it leaves the door open for Narcis to do the job til the end of the season. Is it Wilder that’s knocked us back?

Like the fans got behind Schofield and Fotheringham when they were appointed? Yeah right. Fotheringham seemed a clown from day one, full of hot air, Schofield was out of his depth. Narcis played one won one, the players clearly tried for him in that game, yes we got a bit of luck with the penalty save, yes it was only Cardiff but these next 3 games are massive. I would prefer Narcis to flipping Dean Holden.

One thing I can guarantee, is that whoever it is, they will not get universal support on DATM… 😉

No, he was the physio and then first team coach. He took the job on as caretaker for a few months and we did okay. It was a success but we weren't in the position we're in now when he took over. On the other hand, John Haselden replaced Johnston in 1977, he lasted a few months before being demoted as he won 1 match in 18. Steve Smith was another one promoted beyond his capabilites. Ian Ross another. Danny Schofield.

We are a fickle bunch. Of course Narcis gets our backing for at least 3 games. But we moaned about DS and MF being cheap and easy. They both have more experience than NP. So what gives him this free ride? He was also part of the coaching staff that has failed miserably this season. Maybe Jorge Alarcon was the brains behind last season.

He went straight to managing the B Team and was then given the top job. He was never a number 2. Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan both were, though. Think they might have won a trophy or two between them.

If we win Saturday then that's 2 in 2 for him. We played a completely different exciting style when he was last in charge so it makes perfect sense he is given 3 games. I'm not against this as an interim to be honest.
I just hope Bromby fucks off now because we absolutely do not want him interfering with team selection.

Fortunate Cardiff missed that early penalty or it could have been same old story

I think a lot of people are blinkered because we won and the atmosphere was good, we were dominated off the ball 67% to 33% and they nearly tripled our 150 completed passes. If that penalty went in IMO we’d of gone onto lose that game.

It was lucky, they missed a penalty and an open goal. We only had 35% possession too. It mirrored most performances at home this season. In fact, Hull, Rotherham and Millwall were more exciting. The atmosphere was better, but an early goal helped that.

With the investment in to the squad (we’ve had a lot of new players) you’d think now would be the time to stretch the budget and just the get the right guy in. With the money we gain from not getting relegated we could easily tie success in to the contract.
I still can’t believe we let Russell go then fired the manager who got rid of him. Why not leave that decision to the next manager? Madness.

Surprised (even for us) we pulled the trigger without nailing down what happened next. But let’s see what he can do, I’d much rather him than MF.

We had 32% possession and Cardiff missed a penalty, it wasn't the scintillating display you and others are making it out to be.

Thing is if we have been knocked back by those we wanted what can we do? In 3 games time we might have a nice cushion away from the relegation places and that first choice might then be interested. Its obvious nobody wants the gig right now as we are languishing third bottom with a takeover on the horizon.
The main thing was getting rid of that plant pot which we have. Think about it logically.
