Only fan- power will get rid of Evans

THIS is the sort of post on here that boils my piss. Something that isn’t working was PROBABLY on the advice of Paul Douglas and for all the wrong reasons, therefore Douglas SHOULD be sacked.

Why do we invent scenarios to scapegoat employees of the club? It’s moronic and it happens all the time. Probably.

Yep.

It's because we're all a bit unsatisfied with how the season is going so someone needs to be sacked. It doesn't matter who is sacked, as long as it's someone. It doesn't even matter if we understand that person's remit or who made what decions. The point is, someone needs to go.

Gainsbro, the club always seems to operate with "a very short term strategy."
I defy anyone to describe anything that resembles even a medium term strategy.

Matt Taylor. He was broughtt in for the long haul.
Ok TS got the jitters and got rid but the intent was there

[caytonmiller]

The 2014 season was his best - cant ever see him gerrin anywhere near that. He's done little since leaving us.

.

Depends how you judge it. If it's silverware then I'm not sure he's won much. Usually promoted by the playoffs
If you judge him by promotions sinces 2014 then again not any

If you judge his win rate then he's been at 2 clubs with a better win % than with us.

Now if your judging him by the belt size. You could be right

It's usually the glass half empty folk or the wind up merchants who say this. Bit unusual for Eric to mention this, he's usually very positive

I'm not sure that appointing a manager who was second choice, because the first choice turned him down, and then sacking him because the natives were getting restless can be described as a coherent strategy.
What happened after that was........knee jerk?

Tony Stewart will not be pulling the trigger on this one so we will have to suck it up.

Do you want him sacked?

I don't like it when people do this but I'm going to do it anyway. Who's the alternative? If SE was sacked, I reckon we'd end up gambling on a complete novice. We may as well pIss in the wind and hope for the best if that's the case.

What I will say is if Leam Richardson was still the manager he'd certainly be gone by now, or be very close to it. But as you suggest, SE has far too much credit in the bank for that to happen this early, and rightly so IMO.

My post was just to point out that Tony will not sack him unless there is immense pressure from the fans.

Whether he should be sacked or not, I will give it some thought and get back to you.

That's why I said earlier that TS wouldn't know what to do next if he sacked SE.
The appointment of Evans feels like a last throw of the dice for TS and if it doesn't work out I wouldn't be at all surprised if he put the club up for sale.
For the record, I don't want him to sack Evans, it's far too early to even think like that and he has to be given time to work out what his best team is and get them playing with some sort of consistency.

None of those represent a strategy though.
TS should have a chat with Tony Bloom at Brighton.

Sure they do. The outcomes are representative of a predetermined strategy as explained below

If you want an improvement you have to identify specific areas that you want to improve. Devil is in the detail
You then have to implement an action plan to achieve the improvement.
Then you have to deliver

That’s a strategy for improvement.
Rufc has done that for quite a few issues as I’ve mentioned . It has delivered improvement through a strategy for improvement

It’s no good having some high level waffle that’s not measurable

Your references to Tony Bloom represent one of those areas for improvement. There are many others
