I honestly cant believe he hasnt been sacked yet. I wont be watching anymore while hes here Thommo is sticking with Curle and will give the transfer window. Wouldnt be surprised if its the 4 teams currently in the bottom 4 that go down. Doomed unless theres another pandemic

For goodness sake Doc we are NOT going down you heard it here 1st (I damn well hope that does not come back to haunt me)

I didn't realise, has the 'first' pandemic finished over there then?

Still possibly paying off a 2 year contract B&S, unless he resigns? In which case you have not been reckless and could justifiably claim for additional funding?
Some managers leave "by mutual consent", ie a deal is struck which might not necessarily cover the full term remaining on the contract. Of course he could walk into another job in the next 18 months which again means we don't have to pay him the full amount left on his contract....only make up the balance should the new job pay less than he was getting with us. Only if we sack him and he doesn't get another job anywhere else do we "have to keep paying for him for two years".....

If you look at the statistics (shots faced, taken, conversion of chances etc) we are bottom 2 at the moment for sure. It certaintly isn't impossible that we turn it around though, so if KC doesn't want to pull the plug then I'm willing to keep the faith a little longer, but it requires a transformation of how we play and results.

The annoying thing is that we are capable of playing a different way...we've seen fleeting glimpses of it over Curles tenure, playoffs, Burton, a small number of league games.....so it is possible. Whether we can play a different way with the personnel we have at the moment is more debatable, we do not have the leaders in the team this season that we did last season. We do have players who need to be allowed to express themselves more...i'm thinking Holmes, Watson, Adams to name three. We know what Holmes can do, or at least could do, but he's not allowed to do that in the current setup under the current manager. Thats whats got to change.....we have a sprinkling of quality within the squad, we have a small amount of experience within the squad, for gods sake Keith, just change the mindset a bit. Stop being so concerned with the opponents strengths and stop building your whole system around stopping the opponents from playing. Its not working!! Lets play our own game and let the opposition worry about us for a change.

All a bit possibly and maybe though GPC? Personally I’m sticking with the prudence preference. I should say that I am not enjoying the experience of watching the team at the moment. Therefore it’s the broken arm or broken leg analogy. I see the financial restraint option as very much broken arm. I.E you don’t fancy the idea of either option, but one is decidedly worse than the other?

The only time we have 'fleeting glimpses' were when he was on a shot to nothing. At all other times, he plays with too much caution which produces the performances we see all too regular. Maybe if he was assured of his job even if we didn't get the results, he could possibly release the reins more often?

He sure was / is. Definitely the worst of a bad bunch. It makes you question if we knew who he was and what he was capable of before signing him? Looks like Brentford did a job on us taking Goode then letting us pay the wages of a Sunday league player for the season.

Because they probably can't 'officially' cancel his loan until January at the earliest. Hence, no mention until January; I would suggest.

Why are all of the rumour threads locked?. Summer 2020 thread locked, January 2021 thread locked, as I had seen a rumour on twitter I had to start a new thread to post it which has immediately been locked. Are the administrators banning any rumours being posted and if so why?.

It's right at the very top. I can't say I had noticed it, I don't look for threads there. Still I know now!

Deepcut - Can it be moved from the section it appears in? It seems to have a pin at the side (I'm no tech man, as you can tell). People will find it better if it's listed in the normal way. Just a suggestion.

Not surprising that I did not see it as I never look up there, it needs moving down.

I’ve got a feeling this will be busy in the next few days. He just has to go, the style of play is atrocious.

I think we have to accept he isn't going anywhere. We can disagree all we like but there has been zero indication from KT that he doesn't back KC.
