Maynard?s record is utterly atrocious and should have gone a long, long time ago. A failed experiment that the Bros don?t want to admit they were wrong to make.

There would absolutely nothing ?knee jerk? about getting rid of SM. In actual fact the owners either have the patience of saints, have lost interest, or aren?t prepared fall on their sword and admit they were wrong yet.

Did you want Maynard sacked at the end of last season or before that? Agree nothing knee jerk now but during last season that would have been very much knee jerk.

It may well end up a failed experiment but that is football most do and it is up to the owners to decide when their experiment conclusion is. Maybe they are just more patient, less emotional more level headed than us supporters seems far more likely than them losing interest where is there any interest of that? I have only seen the opposite

What's Brian Barry Murphy doing, he'd probably be a good choice.

Your very limited when you have to play to a certain style & be a Yes man to the signings.
Jonnie Jackson ex player now coaching AFC Wimbledon would be a good shout for me

You cant turn a pigs ear into silk purse overnight..

I don?t know a lot of names but if/when we do replace Maynard I think that person has to have more about him than just being a good coach. Maynard has had us playing some good football at times, just like IB did, but it never felt like we had the edge we did like when LW was in charge.

The difference a manager with a strong personality can make can?t be understated, it?s that final 10-15 percent needed to get success. If we can?t buy our way out of the league (the right way) then I think the brothers need to adjust their metrics when looking for a new man in charge.

Even when things were turning bad with LW I still felt he would turn it around, I never had that feeling with NA, IB and now SM. If I were a betting man I?d wager that the owners will stick this season with Maynard until it becomes clear to them that he won?t take us up?.maybe even until the close season.

They aren't forced to play in a certain way. We have a club philosophy of how we will play and the head coach is picked that buys into it. It's not difficult to understand, it makes perfect sense unlike certain former chairmen who hired Moniz directly after Derry, complete different styles. This way the squad doesn't need a massive overhaul either each season

Or maybe they'll act when they are confident they have a better man in the pipeline.

Didn't he leave us because he wanted to be based in or around the London area? Hence managing Charlton and Wimbledon.

What about Dean Brennan? He was the guy who got Wealdstone promoted when Maynard was assistant. He currently has Barnet top of the NL. Plus, he has a big personality and plenty of spirit, which are things we currently lack in our leadership.

Here's that interview of him that was doing the rounds earlier this season:

I'd love our head coach to speak with that level of passion and intensity after a game rather than the usual soundbites.

Not sure about Williamson. He has achieved success, but his stock has certainly plummeted recently. He's not the most inspiring type either.

Brothers would probably go for someone like Steven Schumacher or Steven Naismith, age on there side no compensation to pay and have above average PPG values.
After paying a fee for SM and his cronies they must realise theyve had there fingers burnt.
