    Well it looks an appointment if true that carries a hell of a lot of risk in my opinion .

    I take the point every appointment carries risk but nobody would convince me that someone like Alex Neil who has a very credible championship record would be more a risk than this guy .

    In my opinion we need a change in strategy given the teams league position and concerns about our current financial position .

    To say it's imperative we remain in the championship is an understatement .

    My feelings in football are this , you can push your luck once too often in this game following the same strategy .

    Stendel , Struber and Val were good appointments but Morais and Schopp were train crashes .

    There are no geniuses on Grove Street that I do know and luck plays a far bigger part than many people realise at the club .

    Struber would have failed to keep us up in any other season .

    Val wouldn't have had us in the play offs in any other season .

    Stendel had the best squad in league one to work with .

    I'm not knocking their achievements but simply putting them in context with a dose of realism .

    What I'm saying is let's not get carried away here thinking this strategy is anything special , it isn't .

    Crying out in my opinion for a solid no nonsense man in the technical area who knows this league extremely well with a credible record to go with it .

    Happy enough for lady luck to play its part one more time and be proved wrong .

    My gut feeling is we are as good as down .

    Personally I would like the club to have approached Warnock to take the gig until the end of the season with a big cash bonus for keeping us up , I realise this is never going to happen its just my thoughts, I also think that Warnock would be a cost effective way instead of having to pay compensation for a foreign coach & his assistant plus all relocation costs , going foreign is not a cheap option , it is possibly an expensive gamble & whilst all appointments are a gamble I feel Warnocks track record suggests that he has more credentials to do the job than other candidates .

    Agree with you Shadrack.
