This is a first class article / interview. A great read.

For me Yatesy’s time had probably come to an end when he moved on. The relegation for me was caused by the Buckle appointment and what followed.

Yatesy was more or a force for good than bad and I wish him well. Stay clean.

My condolences too to all affected. Very sad news.

Presuming the technical issue with the bank was that the account had no money in it ?

solihullkev

Not sure that is right Robin ; Newcastle under 21s were at home at SJP to Macclesfield this week ?

solihullkev

I was very sorry to read this news and agree with all Si Robin has observed. To bring those 10 other guys (plus the rest of the squad) who all made their debuts at Lincoln in August 2015 together and make such a powerful team that steamrollered the league when the odds were against us was a great ac...

solihullkev

I would not describe it as a remarkable (or even "an remarkable" ? Grammar ?) transformation. There is evidence of improvement, but a long way to go. We got the rub of the green with the penalty miss, which we lacked previously. Luck evens itself out. Massive week in Lancashire. Suggest we...

As manager he is accountable. My concern is Saturday's performance was probably the worst of the season. There are no signs of encouragement, we are not getting better.

solihullkev

....for a former player to take over as manager

Hang your heads in shame. There was a limitless number of experienced managers who could have stepped in and shored things up. Instead we chose no experience from a tiny unattractive pool.

Absolute mess and no redeeming features.

solihullkev

As long as he does not take the club into the sidings

solihullkev

From what I can glean over last four months it seems you can succeed in this field with little or no strategy, planning, leadership skills, PR skills or commercial acumen.

solihullkev

Gamble but happy to get behind him and team.

Last 3 weeks have been a shambles to get here.

solihullkev

AW clearly from the mushroom farmer school of treating fans - keep them in the dark and feed them a load of c!#p

solihullkev

I am not after an opinion piece ; a straightforward "these are the candidates" piece is all that is needed. We just need the facts, we can then form our own opinion

solihullkev

Since giving Gaz more time and then sacking him 3 days later, this board has proven themselves to be a bunch of jokers.

No plan, no strategy, no clue, no idea.

solihullkev

It would be disappointing if he is in the pocket of the board and equally disappointing if he views his allegiance to them rather than the readership (who are the supporters on the whole).

solihullkev

If Russ is appointed (and I cannot believe any sane rational board would appoint him) then I will have lost the little confidence I had in this board. Great chap I am sure, hopeless manager and leader. JP's articles post FGR match, refusing to attribute anything to Russ by way of blame, were shameful.

solihullkev

I understand the need for caution regarding the reporting on signings ; but a new manager ?

solihullkev

The political positioning of some of JP's articles since the start of the season (Johnson to go ; give Milton a third chance ; we need a former player as manager) have been both interesting and concerning in some respects. Straightforward up to date reporting would be welcomed rather than perpetual ...

solihullkev

A reporter's job is surely to report. If they declare the day as being so momentous it seems extraordinary to get radio silence on the appointment, but coverage on the Tuffley Rovers score ?

solihullkev

Described yesterday as one of the most important days in the club's history and yet no reporting whatsoever on who the runners and riders are and when an announcement is likely. I find that both surprising and disappointing.

Is it that you don't know Jon or you have taken a vow of omertà ?

solihullkev

You know he is not the right man for the job when he says it was difficult to speak to the players after tonight ; that should be the easiest conversation in the world.

"Come out fighting ; animal spirit". No, a proper plan or plans how to combat Northampton is what we need. T

solihullkev

It would help the club if we could avoid the "must have played for Cheltenham" criteria for a new manager. It will be a tough job from a big pool without restricting our options unnecessarily.

Too much living in the past. Need to be forward looking and quit the nostalgia.

solihullkev

....to avoid Milton getting criticised " It was down to Johnson - he told Russ what formation to play"

Forget five things we learnt from tonight ; we learnt one. Russ ain't good enough.

solihullkev

The media campaign to put pressure on to sack Gaz was understandable, though the execution felt a bit unfortunate. The campaign however to support Russ is simply misplaced - we have seen nothing in 3 spells, including yesterday to suggest he is remotely capable of being a successful manager. To sugg...

solihullkev

That's a gamble

solihullkev

Some folk have short memories - we are entitled to expect,like at Newcastle two seasons ago and hosting West Ham last year, that we give it a go. We gave Newcastle a fright and there were spells when we were in control and had chances. It is extraordinary to suggest we cannot expect anything at a Ch...

solihullkev

Were you there ? Or basing on what you read or heard ?

solihullkev

I am sure Milton is a good guy ; but no evidence now in his third attempt he has what it takes as a manager. We could not handle Brentford and the bit I am uncomfortable about is if that team on tuesday had been managed by GJ he would have been slated for being tactically inept, no shots on goal and...

solihullkev

We were absolutely battered. Scoreline flattered us

Too much Milton favouritism - it was not a good performance

solihullkev

Remarkable to suggest it was a decent performance when the caretaker manager himself said he was not happy with first half !

Let's see where we get to....

solihullkev

Milton - nice bloke, good coach, no evidence at all that he has it to manage in the long run.

We need an experienced manager who is well connected.

solihullkev

JP - may have missed it but what is story if any on KLK ?

solihullkev

I can only presume you were not at the game Alf or you watched it with your eyes shut.

Even if you weren't at the game, the match stats says it all.

If you think our problems are solved, think again. We will not be as lucky as yesterday in the future on a continuous basis.

solihullkev

Great result, average performance. The main difference between yesterday and the other matches this season was luck.

Anyone who thinks we have turned the corner or have found answers to our problems was not at the game yesterday.

solihullkev

I would not let Lee Hendrie manage his own snot. Absolute clown.
