Tisdale would be a decent appointment I think. Yes he had a bad time at Bristol Rovers but you’re not going to find a manager that has been around for as long without any blemish on the record. Some on here are saying no one can keep us up but with all due respect, Brady’s inability to turn things around does not mean no one else can. Has anyone thought maybe Brady just isn’t ready for this level given he’s never managed anywhere near it? Not buying into this ‘zero chance’ of staying up either. Still plenty of football to play yet.

I said after the Burton game we needed to move quickly to appoint a permanent manager and here we are another 4 wasted games down the line still with a caretaker manager. This idea that you have to give a caretaker manager a chance is nonsense imo. Yes in certain situations it makes sense to (e.g. Austin when we were last in league 1), but not with 20 games to go in a relegation battle. People kept saying give it to Brady on the basis that we’re going down anyway but I think that mentality is completely defeatist.

Tisdale in for me.

Inconsistent in League One but a very strong track record at League Two level.

Probably what we need.

I agree where we find ourselves now, we are looking for a good season in league 2 next year, tisdale is the only realistic appointment that would sit well with better football and consistently doing well at that level. Tines cone to get him in.

Read several but thanks all the same. The Chron is very one sided in Sol's version of events. When this blew up a few months again those who were in the North Stand Area 1998 never reported the incident. In fact some on here denied strongly it ever happened at all. .I was at that game and never heard  or suspected that incident actually took place. Certainly why he chose Northampton to make this statement 20 years after the event is puzzling; is it a question of mistaken identity? Opportunity for some Media Sleuth to investigate; after all an accusation has been made against NTFC Fans and not a pleasant one. Problem is it was 20 yrs ago?

Would I oppose his selection as NTFC Manager , probably not as the facts are somewhat mysterious so would give him the benefit of doubt!

Yes, think Burton Albion, Shrewsbury Town and Bristol Rovers are all clear examples that a new (as opposed to cover) manager can pull a set of players out of the mire - dramatically in Shrewsbury's case!
Yes, JFH swiftly brought in six additions at Burton...but even so!

I don’t want to throw the towel in. But I see little point in throwing additional money at our current plight.

Do what we always do.. Regroup and go again. But as I said. We missed the boat with this one, at a time when we could ill afford it.

Agreed.

Looking at "The Sack Race" website and going through the list of possibles....

I don't think its now time for the likes of Wilkin or Gray.

I also think the likes of Cowley, Cook and Pulis are out of our league.

So what does that leave? A manager along the lines of Adkins, Parkinson, Tisdale or Holloway? Should we go down the route of employing someone like that until the end of the season and take stock? One remit, just keep us in League 1? How desperate for work will any of those be to take on what would essentially be a ten week contract?

Like your positivity "One remit, just keep us in League 1?".The point is we have 20 games to go as Crazy Cobbler says we must not slip into the defeatist type mentality. Perhaps we need a Winston type Manager, rally the fans and put your faith in the players; can be done as only 3pts  adrift somebody said.

No one can get anything out of this shower of s***e. It’s the worst squad I can ever remember watching.

Here’s the route out that will give us a chance to hit Division 4 running next year:
1) Give The Brady Bunch a 12 month rolling contract
2) Send all the on loan players back - Mssrs Mitchell and Edmundson can lead the exodus
3) Sack whoever is getting paid to scout / recruit - they’re not earning their money!
4) Get Big Harry back
5) Send everyone out to pick the best of lower league to invest in next summer
6) Dust your cheque book off KT - we need to spend some money in the summer to cancel a lot of contracts or we’ll be playing Brackley very soon

You've got to be looking at dumping all the loan players purely from a financial point of view. Let's be honest we might as well blood some of the youth players. They can't be any worse than the shower of shít we are fielding at the moment.

Give Brady a 12 month rolling contract on what basis?

A seemingly lack of managers beating down the door, based on a lack of news from KT.

No Sing, I want rid of the on loan players because I want the whole squad to “own” their performances this year. I want everybody to feel as gutted and sh*t as I do. I don’t want anyone skipping off back to their host club in May with a spring in their step!

Silk purses and sow’s ears comes to mind!
Plus - let’s have some folks who are committed to NTFC leading us - no more journeymen please.

There are candidates. He’s obviously tried to give Brady a chance and it hasn’t worked. Nothing against Brady but he’s not done enough to earn a 12 month contract. It’s as simple as that. I genuinely can’t believe how many people are still advocating for him to get the job after 2 points from 5 games  Huh?

I can understand not wanting a journeyman but that idea that only Brady could be committed to the club is nonsense.

Don't disagree but...

You send back the loan players....you still have to pay them a la Joe Nuttall!

We can't recall Smith as he agreed a loan til the end of the season with Motherwell

I'd deffo stick the youth team keeper in for the rest of the season as Mitchell is woeful & Arnold injury prone and not much better...

Also need to be starting Chuks and Dyche and any other decent youth teamers imo to see if they can cut it. Great experience for them all too, with no pressure or crowds.

Let's start building an identy for the future now...

Crazy. I Didn’t say that only Brady could be committed to the club. I think Sammo and Rico are committed to the club too!😉

Let me ask you .... score out of 10 for their commitment to NTFC (base your scores on their willingness to move to the area / putting the success of NTFC above ego and their own personal gain and ambition):
KC?
Jimmy?
Page?
Wilder?

Who are these candidates? Seems to me they are a figment of KT's imagination because nobody would be mad enough to jump onto a sinking ship.
