Mandaric replacing Megson with Jones...

[Townerslovechild]

Ok Grist,what's these "mysterious " injuries ?
This predictable style has got us to the top of the league, not bad eh ?

More likely he will quit, Listened to an interview with Warney last week before the Shrewsbury game and I thought his tone seemed resignatory.

As I trudged out on Saturday I did actually think, getting Uncle Colin in, not to take over from Warne but as a sort of consultant to get us over the line mat be an idea.

If you're going to do that then you may as well sack him, it would completely undermine him. By bringing in Warnock to 'consult' it would be publicly saying you don't trust the manager to do his job. Warne would have every right to tell TS to stick his job up his arse if he did that and I wouldn't blame him. It'd be like when Middlesbrough brought it Terry Venables to 'help' Bryan Robson, it'd only end one way.

The only difference is they were struggling and desperate when they did that, we're top of the league and in a cup final. It's madness that we're having this discussion.

Exactly! Anyone would think we were Man Utd mid table. Yes he’s got some team selections wrong of late and even I’ve questioned them but, I’d rather be where we are than sat where MK Dons are at this current time.

I suppose you're both right and I was feeling low on Saturday,
But his team selection was abysmal, and last year resting players cost us our place in the championship. Yes players may need a rest, but play the best team first, get the points and then have a rest. 3 points Saturday, lads feet up for a fortnight job done.

A few seasons ago, Sheff Wed were handily placed to win promotion, but dropped a couple of points in the run in. Mandarin sensing a downturn in form, acted promptly much to the consternation of Owls fans. Megson was an Owl through and through- one of their own- how could Mandaric do this to them at such a crucial stage of the season? The rest is history Owls finished strongly and promotion was secured.

Mandaric made the tough decision. There were no sacred cows ( or pigs) for him. Promotion meant everything.

Does TS have the bottle to do this at RUFC?

Replace Warne with Warnock?

Failing that maybe Richard Wood as manager could get us over the line?

I think, IBS, you are correct that we should change the manager.
But.. i want someone who knows this division so i have drawn up a shortlist. Which will you pick ?

1. Ian Evatt - as we know he has put together, all be it self confessed, the best team in the league. They play the game properly, none of that hoofball rubbish. Sadlier is happier being a sub under Evatt than he is being a sub under Warne so must be a great man manager and good judge of a player. Best of all, while the Millers fret over whether we’ll blow our lead, Evatt has left his fans with no mathematical doubt whether his team will win the league.
2. The Cowley brothers- one of the hottest properties in football management. At lincoln they achieved the remarkable feat of getting promotion whilst also getting to the latter stages of a cup. They also have experience of avoiding relegation in the championship having only Huddersfields parachute payments to aid them. Now they are at a huge club thats more attractive to many an ex miller than our club is and have guided them to above halfway.
3. Darren Moore - harshly sacked by WBA when fourth in the Championship and ended up at Donny while fat Frank finished two places below him that season and got the Chelsea job. Surely evidence that Darren Moore should also be a top premiership manager. After learning the local football scene at Donny he has stepped up to the most massive and is in with a good shout of scraping a play off place. If so that’ll be two teams he has guided to the play offs in a few years, even if both were expected to get automatic promotion. Best of all he’s called Moore.

If we can’t think of anyone who has a consistent record of getting out of this league and leave them to it, then one of the above would be just what we need...

Some good thoughts there! There is a rotund Scotsman with a penchant for dropping his trousers who could have helped us out but unfortunately he's just taken up the reigns at Sampdoria (or somewhere that starts with an S).
