Exactly. This team isn’t good enough to stay up regardless. It isn’t an ideal appointment by any means. But I’m not as hung up on it as some as I have no belief that this team can stay up. If he can come in and at least do something then it’s a bonus. I doubt he’ll want anything to do with the...

A fair few sources saying we’ve appointed Hughes. I can only assume our American owners have been wooed by the fact he’s ex Barcelona and used to manage Man City and think he’ll have us playing like them. Fuck me, this club…

Yeah that would fuck me off. Carlisle United ruins my life. I’m not wanting a manager who couldn’t give a fuck if we lose or get relegated. We have enough players like that as it is.

Begging suspended with Hughes clear favourite. I mean if it’s between Hughes and Kennedy… probably Hughes, just. But we might as well have kept Williamson. We’re down anyway regardless.

I wonder what the most expensive squad ever to be relegated out of the football league is.

Mark Hughes’ odds have just plummeted to 1/4 WilsdenBantam FiRTHYY Kauto Star LS Bantam you’ll like this.

It is Kennedy. I’ve heard it from someone this evening he’s well in the frame. What the actual fuck are we doing?

Honestly I don’t know. He never really got a look in here. The odd sub appearance and games in the trophy that I didn’t watch. It was a strange one. We got him on loan in 2023, be hardly played then for some reason we signed him permanently the following summer. Then he hardly played.

Think they were throwing all their eggs in the Ian Evatt basket. I’ve heard he had talks yesterday but couldn’t come to an agreement and he has now walked away. It won’t be an extensive process. We’ll have someone by the weekend I’m sure. Whether it will be anyone decent is a different matter.

We are the worst team in the football league heading for back to back relegations. Good managers won’t be queuing up for it. If we can’t get someone who is 100% the right man, I hope we’re not going to “make do” with someone. I’d rather we just let a caretaker see us through the season, as I...

The difference it makes is if you have no full backs you are left with 2 defenders. (the 2 centre backs) The window is closed, we can't loan a full back.

only issue with going to a back 4 is I don’t think we’ve got any players capable of playing right back and left back. Williams looks like a winger and harper doesn’t seem to have any defensive attributes. Jack Ellis at a push can play right back but I’ve never been that sold on him there. It...

I’d be happy with that. I assume he’s still well thought of by Northampton after the promotion?

Ins: Will Patching - Derry City Paul Dummett - Wigan Callum Whelan - undisclosed, Gateshead Elliot Embleton - undisclosed, Blackpool Stephen Wearne - undisclosed, MK Dons Cedwyn Scott - undisclosed, Notts County Josh Williams - undisclosed, Birmingham Sean Fusire - loan, Sheff Wed Joe Hugill -...

Failure of a transfer window for us. I’d rather we hadn’t bothered. 11 players signed but we’ve failed to adequately strengthen our crap defence and useless attack. Midfield looks improved but that alone won’t keep us up. The new head coach whoever it is, shouldn’t be crucified for failing to...

No new additions for us today. Hardly surprising given the events

He was good in his first season with us. But he is made of glass. He started picking up lots of long injuries. He’d recover from one then come back for a game then pick up another one. Then we signed him on loan again last season and the same thing happened, more long injury layoffs. If he can...

If Mike Williamson hadn’t just been sacked I’d be convinced Carroll would be coming here.

Had a quick read up on kettlewell and I don’t like what I’ve found to be honest. Negative football, quit because he couldn’t handle a bit of fan stick. Not really what you need when you’re rock bottom of the football league. You have to have thicker skin than that.

Stuart Kettlewell (recently quit Motherwell) now the firm favourite. Don’t really know that much about him.
