    Conor shafted !!

    As predicted the owners of this club have parted company with Conor, I said some weeks ago that they would sack him when season tickets went on sale, the armchair fire stick brigade have once again won the day , rinse and repeat , the quality of the squad gets poorer every season and the HC gets the blame , it is a deflection from the owners as they continue with their managed decline, not long ago Conor told everyone a few home truths that didn"t go down well but he was telling the truth , he should have been applauded not chastised . Conor has made mistakes but he was green and learning a new trade and in my opinion we should have bucked the trend and for once show some backbone and allow a HC time to build a team like Lincoln have for example but no they have buckled under pressure . I wish you well Conor , you have been well and true shafted .

    You can't make comments Hourihane made on Radio Sheffield after the defeat by Doncaster Rovers whilst achieving a pretty mediocre win / lose game ratio and expect to keep your job .

    A better HC could have got way more out of this group then we've witnessed this season , I'm not suggesting promotion by any means but definitely more points on the board and be in with a sniff of 6th place .

    Across the fanbase whether they attend or not there aren't many losing too much sleep over Hourihane going .

    I didn"t say he had done a great job , my point is at some point we have to make a choice and actually back him, all they do is set a manager on every season and feed him with a weaker squad than the previous incumbent , I said that Hourihane is learning his trade , he is a rookie manager and has made mistakes , he frustrates me but mark my words whilst we are run by these owners we are going only one way , it is season ticket sale time again consequently they are trying to drum up some support one way or another and deflect from their incompetence.
