I think worthy into 7/4 in last hour or so tells you everything you need to know.

The only thing I have against Moore is he was our manager, it did not work for us end of story. I wish him and his assistants well at Port Vale at which level I think hes more likely to succeed. As to our wait for a new manager, if only they had given NW half a season and spent that time looking for a a good fit replacement  |

As well as we played we managed to throw the Southampton game away twice. It can’t be Worthington. If Stoke, QPR. Blackburn appointed their youth team coach for the rest of the season you’d think they had lost their minds. Not if they had Mourhino lined up in Summer We've already got Mourinho... |

Worthy's not the guy: 2-0 up away from home and you tighten up. Ten behind the ball and get 3 points instead of this 'run your hearts out lads and we'll look good on the telly' and blow the lead away. Crazy management. But that is simply not what happened. Our 2 goal lead was "blown away" whilst we did have ten behind the ball in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. Maybe we should have been even more gung-ho after the restart. |

Weirdly I'm the same but I've no clue why. I've never known a fan of them and I'm not anti-Robbie Williams (I actually quite like some of his "rockier" output) but for some reason I've just always disliked the club. Not on the same level of dislike as L***s and Shitty but I always have a wry smile when I see they've lost. [confusion emoji] Seems a good excuse to remind the world what a weird silly cnt he is. This is while his Mrs was in labour. I've always found him amusing. Maybe it's because of the spat with the obnoxious Gallagher brothers? |

I can only be optimistic about this and throw all my support behind him if he decides he wants the job, but I can see this all ending in tears. Not just on the level of our league status, but for Worthington's future at the club in the long term, the proposed academy restructure, the likelihood that it'll lead to us also being after a new director of football. |

Obviously we won’t probably get to find out those details so we just have to trust that all the right things are carried out and the right people get looked after as they should be. |

From what can gather he absolutely wants assurances about going back to his existing roll when the seasons over.Is that what you were referring to? We've done it before, with Steve Smith, in 1986-87, (but that was 5 years before football began). |

From what can gather he absolutely wants assurances about going back to his existing roll when the seasons over.Is that what you were referring to? unfortunately that wouldn't mean anything. Once the pressure is on and if results don't go all his way then that's when relationships become strained. Yes it may go well and he goes back a hero. But let's be honest, has he got the experience, knowledge, skills and support staff to do it longer term? If not then it's more likely to be huge pressure and expectations. If those relationships are strained it won't all be forgotten at the end of the season. Better to take a thank you for stepping in and go back to it now. Unless of course he's prepared to risk it. If he is, fine but I don't think he's ready for it and he's got no pressure now as he's a stop gap and giving people what they want by attacking whole-heartedly. Once it's him till the end of the season that's when people start to apply pressure. |

Just to clarify I don’t know any details and if it’s even all confirmed.I’m just going off a conversation with a mate who had spoken to worthy.that plus the fact that clearly many more people have chucked money on would suggest that’s the way we’re going to go.Just getting that in now for when we get stuffed tonight and the powers that be do a swift u turn.

I quite like them as i've seen us put seven past them twice and four the last time we played them in the cup! Does the misery of Port Vale away in 2003 not eclipse all that?! Remember that was a load that went on a bus walked out after 3rd goal to go pub they were shut so stuck on bus for rest of game Always hated them proper bogey team |

I think with Kevin Russel and tongue(is that how it’s spelt?) there is enough experience between the 3 of them to have the know how.worthy and tongue have a wealth of playing experience and since then having coached at varying levels, and Russell was assistant at Peterborough for a good stint(I think with Ferguson) and they did play and have always played attacking football haven’t they.I don’t worry so much for that it’s more whether that translates to results! |

I think worthy into 7/4 in last hour or so tells you everything you need to know. I think that's purely a function of the fact that the bookies pay out on a caretaker being in charge for 10 games and every game he is confirmed as looking after is closer to that total. I personally wouldn't read too much into the odds. But I agree the longer it goes on the more likely it will beome. |

You can still get him at 6/1 at other bookies if the any of worthys mates want to pay their mortgage off 👍🏻 |

It’s been pretty pretty amateur since the sacking of Moore by all accounts. For all their hard work in the January window the manager fiasco really hasn’t been good since the new regime came in. Hopefully this doesn’t ruin Worthy like it did Danny. |

The same Kevin Russell that everyone was slagging off a month ago because he'd lost his first game as B Team Manager 8-0? |

Hopefully this doesn’t ruin Worthy like it did Danny. Appointing Worthington until the end of the season is a huge risk. Having said that, I wonder if one of the benefits of keeping JW on gives us the chance to move Cartwright on and bring in a new DoF to help with the search for a new long term coach. That's if MC is responsible for this manager search fiasco. |
