He has a ratio of 1.09 points per game what are people expecting?
Massive massive mistake by the owners

Hello fellow masochists.

It is an absolutely beautiful spring day up here in Inverness and I am determined not going to let our <*insert appropriate expletives here*> "football" team spoil this precious time.

Have a bluddy great day all!

Why the hell are Radio Nottingham cutting their coverage short for the funeral?
Absolute farce.

Or maybe quite apt!

We've got inexperienced and very young owners plus a young and relatively inexperienced manager (English league wise). Either they're going to learn the hard way and things will get a whole lot worse.... or they're going to get a DOF in.

Burchnall has questions to answer for sure - he's clearly not got the short term motivational skills of a Martin Allen or Sam Allardyce, who specialise in getting the most out of what they are working with. I do keep coming back though to the fact that the deficiencies we've been seeing since he was appointed are the same problems we've had all season. It's recruitment, squad balance and mentality that is ultimately killing us, not tactics, formations or systems.

I will personally judge IB after he's had a chance to work with his own players, or at least players that the owners have brought in to fit into his way of playing. Unfortunately that will quite clearly be in the National League next season, unless there is a very radical change in proceedings.

If thats his style of football, then we are doomed..

Yes after a relegation and 2 years of dross. Not 3 weeks with somebody else's squad

Be fair! We had weeks of being told we have this squad so much better than anyone else's but Ardley was useless as anyone could manage them into the play-offs.

Well the last few weeks have put that argument to bed.

I will get behind the club and the owners as you were telling us all to do, which includes at the moment the Head Coach. However, a bench with Doyle (was he fit?), O'Brien and a 4th central defender when Rodrigues was left out, and his comments that Wootton is in good form have concerned me.

Perhaps we should revert to our original nickname of the Lambs?

An employer is within his rights to dismiss staff if:

1. They’re incapable of doing their job to the required standard
2. They’re capable, but unwilling to do their job properly

I reckon all of that shower this afternoon falls into one of those two categories.
Why wait till the end of the season to offload these losers?

Yeah you've mentioned that 3 times now. I'd imagine there are a few managers in the Premier League who have a similar record with the team's they manage. Stats don't tell you everything. The of the field issues at the teams he has coached have been well documented.

You seem to ignore the fact that he is well thought of by the fans of both Viking and Ostersunds, and by Scandinavian football in general it seems.
