Generally dont disagree and for a long time I didnt comment on the story for the reasons above. I don't want to derail this thread but look back on this board, on twitter, on facebook etc and see similar comments from other fans who were there. Admittedly not all the fans but I would say a fair representation and not one supporting even 1 person making a comment. The game was also televised and nothing mentioned or picked up on the mic's. It was years later he made the claim.
I understand what you’re saying but a ‘public retraction before any interview’? It’s that complete denial that has been a problem for many years now.

Whoever takes the reins will have one advantage as he will be able to make major changes in the summer with so many players out of contract. I believe we have 8 players contracted beyond this season with another 2 who are out of contract having the option of another year.

Personally I find it difficult to believe there isn’t someone either in the frame or being a priority target? Given there is talk of Brady being a candidate etc suggests they are already in a job? It is almost incomprehensible that given our track record with recruitment, the owners have acted without a clear plan or direction, that would be staggeringly incompetent? Obviously that would need to be confidential? Whilst we are on the subject what are the failure standards we are putting on the team of Brady, Sampson and Richards? It’s all very well asking them to step up but what if we lose 5-0 for 3 games on the bounce? What are everyone’s expectations and what is the bare minimum in terms of performance at this point because we are taking a leap into the unknown? For me we have to create a significantly higher attempts on target ratio per game? Following Brady’s comments our possession % will be greater as will our completed passes? Above all our win ratio over the next 10 games needs to be higher, I would suggest mid 30%, pushing 40% would be fantastic? If we don’t make that then we will have to move again? Given the clamour to get rid of Curle I would imagine there has been a great deal of thought put into this by everyone, so I am really looking forward to all the different perspectives communicated over the coming days?

I should also add that it would be really refreshing to see a positive result from substitutions along with our best players remaining on the pitch. That would be a significant improvement wouldn’t it? Curles tactical proficiency mid match was shockingly poor this year, and wasn’t really any better last? The withdrawal of McCormack in the final a case in point? What was he saving him for, the lifting of the trophy? We slightly lost our grip of the game afterwards, not that it really mattered at that point? Just another example of an ill thought out change that had a negative impact for no perceivable benefit whatsoever?

I think at the moment just a bit of pressure and a few shots on target would be a massive step forward.

Just....to score a goal? That's a start.

It appears that we may have been monitoring the Sutton United Manager for some time. So perhaps your suggestion that we have sacked KC without any idea of replacement just might be misplaced? Better to see how the situation unfolds first before implying criticism. The point is that KT can hardly make public that we are monitoring another Manager JIC Curle blows it!

Hello Frank.
Thank you for the PM you sent me, I thought I would share it... “Mate, try and be a bit less obvious about who you are. You can be sussed out in five minutes“No its not, so maybe longer than five minutes? I thought this thread was for speculating over a new manager , not new posters? Neither did I realise there was a limit on daily posts? For some on here I truly wish there were.

Not suggesting that at all Evers. I think they do have someone in mind and to reiterate and agree, they would most definitely need to keep it confidential. Just commenting that in the unlikely scenario that they don’t, then that would be more than disappointing given our recent history with managers? Sorry if I didn’t make that clear in the original post.

I’m certainly not adverse to bringing in an up and coming manager from the non league but wouldn’t it be a bit of a risk parachuting them into a relegation scrap in league one? By the way I totally admit that it will potentially be a risk whoever we bring in.

I agree. Kelvin & team have a very good history of keeping things quiet. I don't think we will get a great deal of info about who is taking over until it is done.
