I'm glad you've included yourself in that...

Am I the only one feeling a little conflicted? Sure, Jimmy has proven to be dire and had to go. And hopefully Dean and Jon can become instant Northampton legends by achieving the highly unlikely. However, if we do go down it'll irk me that it's a stain that won't be attached to JFH's cv. Because you can bet your bottom dollar Jimmy will land another job; it doesn't take long for history to spin a new truth.

Not quite sure why you are irked by JFH cv. It's hardly any of our business now and on the practical side does it really matter to us. You never worried before on the niceties (used as a noun) of opinion on here! Good to see a fellow poster voicing concern on the ethics of the situation.

Do you mind; I never use your non de plume as an excuse. If you persist in this form of trolling will report you to the Admin guys. So there.

Yet another post without an opinion on what is being discussed which rather backs up the original point.

It just seems that way because he's got so many different identities registered on here. #alreadybusted

It is too late for that priority. We need the higher risk of gambling on scoring more goals than the opposition. 3-2 aim rather than 1-0!

                  You make a good point, many will agree with you, but I just see it another way that's all.

You want us to score less goals than the opposition?  (Yes, I know I'm being stupid....    )

Personally, I think your original post was at best misplaced and very few on here offered you an opinion.

Is it because of the amount crap being posted as fact by people who just haven't got a clue?

You seem to post a lot without ever really saying anything!

Still haven't really seen any opinion from you re the sacking?  Too soon....should have been given more time what's your thoughts on JFH and his time in charge.  Don't worry I won't bring the thread back up in two years time if you say something silly  . I don't even mind if you have no coaching qualifications

I agree ; most of my posts are simply emoji's. All I can say that there are some opinions if you can be bothered to find them.True I don't post like Drilling and  Shoemaker and generally tend to avoid the truly contentious issues like the Chinese affair which thanks to GPC and yourself it has now become readable and so far quite interesting. I have no plan or agenda to comment on this situation as I prefer to stick to the actual team/player of things.

I said in a previous thread would make comments on JFH after the Peterborough game:

a) Any Manager who loses a game against Peterborough will always incur the wrath of the supporters.
b) JFH made far too many tactical and personnel changes which clearly had an adverse effect on the team
c) His January targets have been disappointing so far, an example of this is vV who has yet to score and can only recall one shot at goal.
d) He said the team were the better side on Monday; to me clearly, they were not.
e) The losses against Rotherham and Charlton seem to signal that what ever the result of  Monday's game his future was to say the least
    uncertain.
f) Kept saying 'you know' too many times
g) Signing wingers in Jan and it became very fortunate for them if they played as wingers.
h) Playing Grimes far too deep
k) Might have pulled in a cover/replacement for JJOT who almost certainly would have received too many yellow cards or a red or two.
l)  On a more serious note and harping back to the selection issue; the recall of various players who had been sidelined for months and then
    recalled and then discarded was or could not be good for team morale.
m) Unable to raise the teams morale on a sustained basis - to a fit for purpose side.
n) Managed to alienate some supporters; will never forget the agitated actions of a supporter at Fleetwood.

Some of these points I have made before on here so I am merely repeating myself. It is right to say some of these points are made in highsight, but most of them have been made by others prior to JFH demise. I also don't like issuing abusive comments against any Manager or player. Its too easy behind cover of a keyboard. For me the benchmark was Peterborough and the decision to sack him was probably overdue.

This is so true.

Really? You surprise me.

Well, to be fair, English isn't his first language. And he probably speaks it a lot better than you speak Dutch.

A very good summing up

[guest3114]

Take everyone of our poor managers and look at their credentials prior to joining us. Everyone of them had something to indicate they could be a success and/or went on to be successful elsewhere. (I believe even Fenwick went on to be a legend in the Caribbean, tenuous as that is)
Think about it logically, is it that they become inexplicably tactically inept and incompetent when they join us, or is there far more to it than that? If you look at JED, the amount of time it took for him to sign players pre-season indicated to me that many of this squad may not have been first, second or even third choice. If this is the case he then has to make do with a makeshift squad that is a considerable way from the ideal. Then someone like Jimmy comes in and has one January transfer window to rectify the whole mess. Chopping and changing players akin to putting a ribbon around a dog turd he fails to get the second rate outfit to perform and the whole situation implodes.
I’m not suggesting JFH was the right bloke or that he didn’t make mistakes but the idea that success is solely linked to the right manager is just ludicrous. You might identify 3 players as your midfield general to lead the side on the pitch and not land any of them. We are not PSG or Barcelona with the pick of who we want. What I am saying is that success at this level has to do with fortune as much as anything? Timing and availability may result in not getting the exact players you want. Injury or interest from other clubs may prevent this and you end up with a squad a long way from the one you envisaged or wanted. Then even your best players may get injured or suspended (as JJ did against Shrewsbury). Compounding this, also players are at this level often because they may have problems with professional attitude, injuries or discipline?
Don’t get me wrong, as the cliche says this is a results driven business and how you perform on the pitch is everything. I believe Jimmys first priority was rightly to make us hard to beat and develop from there? He perhaps envisaged getting us to the end of the season, surviving and then completely rebuilding in the summer. It would make sense as the squad is clearly short in a number of areas? The bloke had to go, because he took the job and failed to consistently bring out the best in any team he put out anywhere near often enough. In fact, I felt he had little confidence in most of the players hence the constant tinkering and prevaricating?
All I am saying is don’t be too hard on the bloke as failure in this game isn’t always down to lack of ability. Everyone no matter how good will make mistakes and failure may be down to circumstance as much as anything. Whilst it was right to change the last 3 managers when we did, on another occasion they may well have succeeded? Don’t be surprised if the next bloke who ever he is fails as well, and when he does it might not be entirely his fault? No matter how much ability you have, success at this level to some extent is a bit of a lottery. I’m getting a horrible feeling I’ve said the wrong thing again,  but thought I would throw this out there?
