So, based on comments from CMC, TJO and others (above) if we don’t get promoted in 24/25, Butler will have failed, and should expect the boot, right? No two ways about it, no question of stats, goals, unlucky penalties, or excuses about cash. It’s the “cruel reality of pro football”, and he will have to go, right??

Seeing as i’ve just pulled the list up, did these managers fail or succeed?

Robins – Yes in keeping us in L1.No in Driving us forward. YES
Alexander – Yes in getting us to the play offs. No in getting us up. NO
Daws – Bit short to say. But he got us to the play offs so YES.
Dawson – Like Daws short spell and it wasn’t great so NO.
McCall – Sorted the defence out, got us winning games. One of the worst decisions we’ve ever made to sack him. YES
Dawson(again) – Got us relegated enough said. NO
Hurst – Sent us nearer the relegation places than the promotion ones. Bored everyone to death. NO
Cox – Saved us from relegation with a crap budget. but was in charge for the Harrogate debacle. YES, but only just.
Hill – We were a shambles off the pitch but he didn’t do much to change it. NO
Dean – Open chequebook, couldn’t save us from relegation, couldn’t get us promoted. NO

If he goes to someone like Spalding or Stamford i wouldn’t be surprised if Posh pick him up in 18 months and sell him on a year or two later for a significant fee, Like Godden.

Hope Beestin thinks he’s better than that and turns the contract down, we’ve looked after this perennial crock for long enough now

It seems Dean is being scapegoated for fans’ high hopes which were cruelly dashed at the last.

Maybe the reason for all the wailing and crying?

You have to be desperate for attention when:

Your media career is over before it started due to cost cutting
You back the first horse that comes along and it’s not the right one
Set up a platform to be all about you
Jump on the back of someone’s ideas – who you’d previously criticised
Try and be negative when the club you supposedly support is on an upward curve
Pick an argument with United fans who’ve been going 40/50/60 years

But then, you are Max Bell.

Is there any truth in the claim that he had a contract extension and had to be paid off? Not seen any evidence yet.

Well Bru and Iron Hour have brought out podcasts in the last week – might be something in there.

For those asking about Dean’s contract… again… from the Pboro local paper, his intial contract says it ran till June i make it.

So from what i can gather he was given a new one. wonder who authorised that…

[CMC]

Was expecting an outsider, but the positives.

He knows the club
He knows the players
He’s been a manager before
He will have learnt under Russ at Farsley and whoever at Donny

Great player for us, Walsall and them up the A18. That Rushden game where he nearly got his hat trick!

All the best Andy.

I thought we were done with Shysters at this club.
He’s been able to sign National league players this season and so far, they are mid table. They only get 350, or less, as they aren’t popular in Peterborough and it can’t sustain 2 clubs at a high level.
I live down this way and Peterborough people have a bit of front about them but this lad thinks his own poo doesn’t stink.
He won’t last if appointed.

If he didn’t see through WHAM… then he’s not a good judge of character.

Disregard the Hilton stuff in and of itself, it’s just part of a bigger picture: Ego.

Elliott’s MO has always been to stand next to power, next to money, next to kudos, next to attention… whoever it is… as he’s smart enough to know standing in that spot make others assume he is powerful, monied and important himself.

Anyone else remember the arse-clenching cringe of him getting himself onto the team sheet of the Wembley 1999 side which re-formed for a charity match? One of the lowest moments at GP, imho.

Wasn’t he also a Swann supporter when it suited?

Think back to the ‘Elliott / Sharpe’ thing 18 months or so ago. It was Sharpe with the actual money!

He also turned up at Sligo Rovers, along with a well-known Scunny fan, when they won the League of Ireland. Ian Baraclough was the manager and SE involved in local VW Dealership Colooney’s. That partnership didn’t last long.

He’s used his own platform to criticise supporters sceptical of the last two Chairmen.

So there we are.

We need to get behind Jimmy and what ever team is left to play with. Why are we blaming the manager all the time. Many teams raised their game as playing Scunny was like a cup final for them. Yes we have to get over it but getting rid of Jimmy will not help and as said by others which wonder coach will want to manage a NLN team.
Let’s stick with what we have. We achieved 2nd place and only lost out due to the lottery of penalties

Also worth noting that a volunteer employee seems to have put a lot more money into the club than Elliott.

Has Elliott sunk anything in?

He borrowed a used car showroom and got a few people to sit in it.

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.

I put more money into the club than said person, and i only do the Monthly draw.

Pretty sure it was one of dodgy Dave’s claims that the dispute between the club (Swann) and the Telegraph was resolved.

Doesn’t mean it’s true of course.

Does the Telegraph even report properly on the Cods or do they just copy and paste from other sources.

Do they report properly on anything?

They don’t have a proper sports reporter for either team. Don’t even carry a match report in the ST anymore.

It’s all run from Leeds with reporters WFH.

is it fair anyone making any comments when there has been no talk from the club of any change, or are you all already bored, also some already mentioned would be out of our price range anyway

At a time when we should all be coming together, some people can’t help themselves, can they.
