Crewe Alex Protests happening

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't Neil Baker 'moved' to scout new players ?, if so, WTF is the manager doing it for ?

I hope it's an empty threat to try in vain to curtail the protest. If so he and the club have failed. But if Steve Davis is not on the touchline for all five competitive fixtures, then he's given the fans a reasonable question to ask the board. No board in their right mind would allow their manager to skip managing games irrespective of their fate and they should be ashamed of themselves if Steve Davis is given permission to skip games to go "scouting" when we have head of recruitment Neil Baker.

Don't forget, I can't remember the exact dates, I stated on a thread early on in the season, Davis went away on a weeks holiday when we dropped to the bottom of the league. It went largely unnoticed at the time but Collins was doing the interviews for the week. The board appear to have approved the time away in season time which seems unbelievable, also unbelievable to think that Davis was happy to go with our position in the league. It's been said many times "all too cosy".

His absence may give Philips a chance to shine, but it does make one wonder what Baker is doing. Does Davis not have confidence in Baker's judgement? I know who I would put money on to identify a good signing.

Indeed, Davis going on holiday during the week after we dropped to the bottom of the league is one thing, but to miss a competitive league match under the guise of "scouting" is another. Hopefully it's all hollow and he's on that touchline tomorrow but such a stance from any manager would be bizarre, not just one whose leading a sinking ship into League Two.

As I stated before, if Steve Davis misses a single game without good reason between now and May, he should be sacked for lacking professionalism. It's totally inexcusable behaviour and shows what a bad leader he truly is.

Well SD probably following DG before him who used to go Sking in the football season,as far as Baker and Collins as i have said before 3 men doing one mans job! And then some say we have to keep to a budget for the 1st team,what a joke.

Shrewsbury away was the game that Collins was in charge. First win of the season wasn't it?

Did I blink and miss it?
Some early singing, sustained for 10 mins or so, and some sporadic chanting through the game. And that was it.
Moving to the dugout area, once again, must have blinked.

From the BBC Sport page: "Crewe boss Steve Davis, whose side have not won since 6 February, was targeted by angry home fans throughout as they look set to finish the season rock-bottom, while S****horpe dropped to 10th."
