Maynard GONE [Official]

[Med Pie]

Does anyone think the Brian Priske rumour has legs? He seems somewhat out of our league and strikes me as a coup if realistic. 57.59% is quite some win percentage too!

Even if it's not Priske, what we know of the brothers in terms of their pre-planned rather than knee-jerk reactions to situations, it wouldn't be a surprise if they had someone lined up already.

I wonder, given the tone of the club statement, whether Maynard would have been let go, even if we'd gone up.

York City hav had to say their manager is staying, a few of their fans linking him to us.

Probably 2+2=5.

The guy who started this season at Feyenoord, in the Champions League? Don't believe everything you read online, mate.

There were rumours they were going to sack him.

Exactly my point, mate.

Swansea fans wanted him gone . Not happy with his style, didn't trust him after the WBA fiasco. Too many short memories on here. Great times with him here but no going back. Ask swansea fans their opinions

Yeah saw a few saying that but bit mental he got 96 points and they were in NLN a few years back.

Cross him off the list then !

Sensible decision by the owners.

Hard working - agree
Decent guy - agree
A bit unlucky - agree
Glad he's gone - mixed feelings...

I feel like some people are to easy to jump into him not being good enough but having supported the Pies for 45 years I would say he's much much better than average. There are no guarantees with picking a new manager - none at all. I thought he brought a great vibe and played football in a decent way (in the most part). He was literally a couple of points from getting us automatic despite BIG injuries and Crowley ****ing off at a crucial point. I think he deserves much more respect for what he achieved.

That said I felt like we were defensively suspectable and lacked the ruthlessness needed. Please god lets not start a managerial merry-go-round tho.

Genuinely wish him much success - think he deserves it and may just get it.

I will be genuinely surprised if they don't have a replacement lined up.

Doesn't make strategic sense to sack him without a replacement ready. Would be very out of character.

But I didn't think they'd sack him in the first place so what do I know?

From where I'm sitting, he made the playoffs and was just two wins short of automatic promotion in a season plagued by bad luck, injuries, weird coaching team departures (with no replacements), and the sale of key players - whose replacements haven't come up to speed yet (if they ever will)

I just don't think I would have sacked him in those circumstances - unless I had someone absolutely killer lined up to replace him. And I don't know how I'd feel about that. From his perspective I wouldn't at all be surprised if he feels he was hung out to dry by the club. I guess with millions of pounds a year getting flushed, you can't afford to be sentimental.
