We got over 80 points and won more games than we have done for years so if you want to see the club close you keep away, I have missed a number of games this season but it will not stop me going, a few months ago I would have been pleased we have a team, so after all the upheaval we are playing on our own ground still managed to finish the season in second place and apart from the result in which we lost in the penalty lottery I think it has been an enjoyable season, if everyone has your attitude Rene we may as well give up, who says we would do any better with a new manager, but if you want to leave and watch your favourite Premier League team it is up to you, but it is a new era now with owners who love the club and clearing the debt is priority to getting promoted and remember a number of our players are only this standard, get behind Michelle and the rest

“Will I chuck it in if Jimmy Dean is the manager next season?” – no, because I am a ‘ride or die’ supporter. Do I feel he is not the man to take us forward? Lets put it this way; he had two attempts at gaining promotion this season; the first was to win the league. He failed on that one. The second was to win the play-offs. He failed on that one too.
I honestly feel that just about any other football manager would have won the league with the squad we had at our disposal. He may be passionate about the club, but he is not the man for the job.

No, whatever happens with the manager, whether I agree or not, I’ll be going and supporting.
I support Michelle Harness for having the courage and strength to take the club on and save it for us and future generations, so whatever she decides is good enough for me.11 users thanked author for this post.
Of course not. I would not renew the coaching staff’s contract but that’s just an opinion.
Will still be there at home. Probably won’t do the dozen or so away games next year if Jimmy is still here and still hasn’t worked out how to play away.

I will be buying a season ticket next season, the first time since lockdown simply because of Michelle and her new board saving the club and hopefully to keep pushing forward. I have still regularly attended home games since 2020 ( think I missed four this season just gone ) but I haven’t been away since lockdown, I’m getting too old and cranky for all those balls aching bus trips particularly coming home after a thumping defeat, plus I have had enough of listening
to people talking bollocks about the game I love whilst stuck on a coach on the way home.7 users thanked author for this post.
An extreme stance Rene. Should Dean still be in charge I hope you reconsider and attend in spite of him and for the ģreater good, which is supporting the club finally under good ownership. If I didn’t live so far away I can honestly say I’d be purchasing a season ticket. Not point scoring here, I just know I would as gratitude to everyone who’s helped save the club, if nothing else.

It is a hard stance from Rene but everyone has their own thoughts.
But we go to get entertained!
Didn’t hear many folk stating that what was served on Saturday as entertainment.
Just like a restaurant serves up poor food do you still go?2 users thanked author for this post.

Just like a restaurant serves up poor food do you still go?Oh aye. Anyone that chose not to go has to be respected. Not suggesting otherwise. I don’t view it like going to a restaurant though. I’d have stopped going altogether around ’80 had that been the case.

We can’t just give up because of a poor manager surely? I fear we’ll struggle with Jimmy and a reduced budget, but the club will hopefully outlast him. If he is to continue, it would surely have to be a rolling contract. The fans won’t accept deterioration and more excuses.

Absolutely not. I’ll support the club, the board and JD if he’s still here.
What a ridiculous stance you have after everything the club and the fans have been through this season.
1 user thanked author for this post.
MY stance is exactly that!
Same with Rene it’s His stance.
And everyone else’s stance.1 user thanked author for this post.
Can’t be having a manager on a rolling monthly basis full stop. Madness.

If you have any doubt that a manager or coach will not last a season then you shouldn’t be offering them a contract at all.
What does a monthly or even a three monthly contract say to a manager and to the players he is trying to recruit?

Not been to a home game since we were in the league, (go away) Covid came, then discovered local football and having a beer watching some decent part timers. Which is more entertaining sometimes.

Good point. Which I guess is why I would not offer a contract at all, because I fear it could come back to bite if we get more of the sub-par performances we have seen since Jimmyball got found out and he couldn’t counter-act. That said, I am not the board and this is just my opinion. If we have Jimmy, we will have to back him and the board, but I can’t help but worry it would be another guaranteed wasted season.

All good points Rene, which I agree on. Point m) is worrying but we’ll never know.
But I wouldn’t chuck it in mate if the board decide otherwise.
I think your final paragraphs suggests the club didn’t want to go up to avoid the £100k bonus cost ?
If that is the case, JD is worth keeping as he managed that down to one last kick which was probably harder to do than winning.1 user thanked author for this post.
Aye, and we also had the biggest budget, with some players coming from higher up and one of the few full time squads at this level. We lost out on the title and in the playoffs, and also struggled against the better teams throughout. Now, as Dean couldn’t do this on a high budget, what’s the likelihood he can on a lower? A new manager will always be uncertain for success, but when you don’t think the current one is likely to succeed at all, there will always be those who think maybe a change is in order. Especially as now is the opportune moment for it, since with a new contract it will be harder to dispense of him if we struggle next season and crowds fully turn.
