I think that JB knows he is stuck with a group of players with limited collective ability at this level, who he is "bigging up" becasue he has to make them believe they can stay up, and it's not out of the question they can. However, it would certainly be unfair to judge his ability as a manager completely on what happens between now and the end of the season, as he won't have had the chance to bring in any of his own players.

My preference would be:

1) We stay up or go down fighting and he (with Sammo and/or Rico as assistant) gets offered the job.
2) We fade away and go down without a whimper and we look for a new manager.

I'd give Jon Brady next season, who knows how it pans out but be more interesting appointment then any one of the dozen failed journeymen that will no doubt be the alternative. (or ex-player with zero coaching experience)

The worst scenario would be to keep him on in the summer to recruit a team then ditch him a couple games in. We've done that the last two times we were relegated, first Gray and then Austin.

i think Brady and his team should be given a chance - the approach is a true breath of fresh air and i have always believed he has all the attributes required .
I go back to my original post though - will there be the budget there to tempt anything other than a journeyman manager ?
You have to be given half a chance otherwise you are better keeping your powder dry .

Based on the last few games, it's option two.

They started brightly but some of the recent stuff has been as bad as Keith managed.

Completely agree.

It would be a huge missed opportunity to not let JB build a team in the summer, whatever division. Personally I find it an exciting prospect.

I can guarantee one thing, if it doesn't work out there will be plenty of the usual managerial suspects out of work before the January window. Nothing ventured...

That could be something to do with it being Keith's team?
