Davis has gone

[Preston76]

Steve Davis has been sacked but is Dave Artell the answer no experience can he guide a team on the decline to safety?

Thanks Steve for some great moments in the history of Crewe Alex, but it certainly was time to go. Let's hope we have some free flowing football for the rest of the year - it can't get any worse.

Well at the least the Board have acted at a timely juncture in the season while the present situation still has a chance of being rescued. Artell has a strong Crewe connection and will be fully aware of supporters expectations. He, therefore, deserves our full support. He is also on record as saying that he is a strong supporter of the Academy set up and about retaining its Category 2 status so no prospect of any change there. I have confidence that the Board will allow him to take the necessary steps to move quickly to rejig the present squad. They must fully realize the present perilous position of the club in League 2.

Steve Davis has been an honourable Manager who has given the club some good times and one should not forget that.

Agreed , when he came in he brought some much needed ambition to the club and no one could doubt his effort. It's worth remembering in those first few seasons he out thought a fair few managers too and he had a lot to deal with off the pitch.

Time to go definitely , but I do hope he gets another club and does well for them.

Will the board give Artell some money now !!!!

[out0lunch]

Should be a bumper gate on Saturday when all those who said they would not come whilst SD was in charge

Wonder if the board will back DA loans instead?

Agree with Somerset that it is ironic that the man replacing Davis is his discarded Captain who deserved more.
Hope big Dave does well, what he will do is take responsibility if things don't go well, not criticise particularly the younger members of the squad, one of SDS less redeeming features.
Onwards and upwards!

Congratulations Dave! Can't wait for Saturday's win against Luton. C.O.Y.R!
