    They’re 15th in division 4 and also out of the cup.

    They did beat Rotherham in the LC though so maybe that’s the recommendation
    I’m not recommending him. I didn’t even know he was a manager until someone started going on about him but maybe he is the level we would have to aim for.

    If Ainsworth brought the brand of football to us which was on show with Wycombe, we'd drop so many season tickets that we couldn't afford players, let alone a better manager.

    Results going right way wins fans over. Can't be no worse than since start of last season under Taylor.

    I don't think Evans should be sacked at the moment, I struggle to see how that will help us. It will be an embarrassment to the Stewarts and I am not sure they are the type of people that would take that very well. I don't see an alternative out there that I am aware of, and yet again I don't see Rotherham as a club that would risk a young foreign coach, which seems to be a trend at the moment. So we are stuck with Barney the Dinosaur and his shouty sidekick for now.

    However, just because it is hard to see a viable alternative doesn't mean that we cannot express our opinions on his verbal BS and awful team that play awful football. The coaching doesn't appear to be at the right standards, there is little idea on how to use our more creative players and set pieces are a joke.

    I see our goal on Saturday came from a long ball a good header by Hugill and our most skilful player finishing, I suspect that will continue to be the approach going forward, and that points to a long hard miserable season with a middle third of the table finish. Evans will be banking on convincing TS to increase the budget in January and swap players rather than improving the quality of the coaching.

    Derby I agree with you re. coaching staff this season not of the required standard.

    Most of our players will not be stupid. They’ll recognise the difference between the prehistoric methods currently on offer and modern day coaching. It seems they are simply not accepting the Evans doctrine and that can only lead to failure.

    It took Ainsworth six attempts to get out of L2, and attendances barely shifted (up by 300 or 400) in the better seasons, and went up only slightly (about 800 more) in the third tier. Wycombe's attendances in L2 before Ainsworth were about the same as he managed in the next tier up. He kills football for fans, and he's not a guarantee for success, as evidenced by the number of mediocre seasons around his two promotions out of 11 years.

    Average results. Awful football. Harms gates.

    I’m not advocating a change in Manager either but we should still be planning our next appointment. Maybe we are doing just that.
    One option would be to Scour the continent for someone who’s shown a lot of promise, had decent relative success and exhibits modern methods.
    That’s lower divisions in unfashionable places like Sweden , Norway, Finland, Austria and obviously not the big leagues.

    If I were Tony I’d be giving RS and his team the brief to do exactly that.

    I mentioned at the weekend that Aberdeen did the above and have found a real gem.

    It’s still a risk and not a given he / she would be a success but we’ve got to try something different with regard to our Management over the next 10 years

    I also see no point in changing the management group:

    - despite comments about their pre-historic approach, it is proven to work and as recently as last year.

    - I dont think we can attract anyone better

    - why dont they deserve more time? I think they have had about 16 matches since their return.

    So called Football fans are too reactionary these days. I believe it comes from social media where people portray superior knowledge or insight to others to look clever hence, rumours of managers losing the dressing room.

    - I dont think we can attract anyone better People offer names of suitable, better options which you routinely refute or ignore for no reason

    - why dont they deserve more time? I think they have had about 16 matches since their return.

    So called Football fans (Fans who disagree with you must be viewed as lesser fans because of this, why?) are too reactionary these days. I believe it comes from social media where people portray superior knowledge (like your position of being a better fan for not wanting a change...?) or insight to others to look clever hence, rumours of managers losing the dressing room.
    Usual hypocritical posting. Never missing a chance to defend Evans to a point it's pretty weird, in all honesty.
