Sack him, save our season

[Could'vebeenacontender]

They were sacked for bullying..

The players despised Matty in particular
His brother was along for the ride
The interview with Matty after his departure just confirmed the sort of person he is
I've not noticed clubs rushing to sign the brothers so far
Bad result today
Hopefully we can get the big guns back in time for a final push

Youve not heard anything regarding the ownership?

I'm not going to sit through a 30 minute interview, but from the first 5 mins and reading between the lines, it sounds to me like he felt he wasn't being paid enough for the amount of work he was putting in - set against the stress of what comes with being a coach and dealing with players. Presumably nobody on the staff is paid particularly well compared to some other L2 clubs. Logically you wouldn't be taking people from a part time situation and then paying them what L2 clubs with decent budgets are paying.

Other people are coming to different conclusions, supporters will be fed rumours that deflect from other issues. I reckon money, or the lack of, is the basic issue, not just with this case but with the club generally. It's pretty obvious they're trying to do everything on the cheap despite us having (officially) the biggest gates for 30 years.

"On the cheap" is just football fan talk for not spending more than you're earning and trying to avoid accumulating debt, which is entirely sensible for a club that is not yet breaking even and has a history of near bankruptcies, but fans choose to ignore that because it sounds boring, while rabbiting on about "lack of ambition", "speculate to accumulate" and all the other lazy cliches is much easier.

Listening to the Saunders interview, I thought he sounded pretentious and full of himself, talking as if he had just completed the complete blueprint for football, rather than being a coach who had just left a League two club and had yet got another job. That said, the standard of our performances since he left has dropped considerably, so it leaves me wondering if he has indeed taken something with him. The talk that the players didn't like him may or may not be true - perhaps they thought he was a bit too full of himself too, especially given his lowly background - but the longer this run of bad performances goes on, the more it raises questions about Maynard's coaching capacities without the guys he chose to bring with him.

Performances, if not necessarily results immediately, went off a cliff after Crowley got sold and McGoldrick got injured. Results have now followed, but I dont think theres any great need to look too far behind the scenes to see why our season is going down the pan.

Seems pretty obvious that they thought they deserved more, and looking at our performances and results since they left it would appear they were right. I personally think the Bros ( owners) are looking to get out, so trying to recoup as much money as possible. No replacements for the coaching staff, no replacement for the Director of football/recruitment, 3 quality players sold for decent money not replaced with any quality.I cant see us gaining another point this season, but they will not sack Maynard as it will cost them and thats not on their agenda, get as much back as possible and get out before we go bankrupt.
