Jon Brady

[JeanGenie]

JeanG - support for JB cuts both ways with good results and disappointing ones.

Don't dispute it...  (and it's Akinfenwa btw)   

[Dr Feelgood]

Top Bloke...hope he can keep us up.

Akenfenwa??

[guest3063]

Akenfenwa??

Your spelling is out Evers. Adebayo Akinfenwa is the correct spelling.

He has the club at heart & i for one hope he will agree to stay as our manager for next season & beyond even if relegated. Also, yesterday he showed tactical astuteness with the 4-2-2-2 formation. I think he can keep us up, but even if not we should stick with him. IMO

You have been away a long time?   

[singcobb]

as most people know on here - i have backed JB for some some time.
That man cares like we do for this club .
Just get behind him because he is one of us .

This is why I have respect for the bloke. He might not deliver alll the time and given what he has to play with that is not unexpected, but you can see his passion for the club and if he can imprint this on the players we will survive.

He has something that is very rare these days in football... Honesty and integrity. That put him above many others in my book.

I can only add to the above comments.

I do hope KT takes note and does the right thing. Sammo, Rico and Jon know these leagues inside out and the trio have great respect for each other and a huge desire for us to succeed as a club, as much as any of us do. This is a rare opportunity.

I can't remember us ever producing such a strongly qualified and dedicated back room team, so I hope we don't blow it and give it to some passing charlatan looking for a stepping stone.

Given some time and patience they will deliver as much if not more than any of the 29 managers I've witnessed previously.

[guest3063]

Of course this all depends on JB and the others wanting the job on a long term basis. Maybe, they don't and are more than happy to go back to the academy at the end of the season. Out of the stress and strains of football management and the inevitable sack at some point in the future.

This is the question I would like to be asked or put forward by the club, are we ,as supporters , willing to give Brady & co time , say 2/3 seasons to create a new ethos for the club . Patience will need to given as there are bound to be bumps in the road on the way.
The thing is , as none of us can look into the future, does that mean playing eye pleasing football in league one or national league? But on the other hand can any other manager guarantee a bright future?

Inclined to agree with this.

Are they on limited time contracts? I would guess at they level at a lower league club they would be regular PAYE employees. They can't be on big wages, I would suggest around £35k for Brady and less than £30k for Sammo and Rico.
I'm just guessing here, I have no idea how much backroom staff at lower league clubs are paid or what sort of contracts they are on.

I think we should give them the time to do this, I am fed up with managers who are only here for a paycheck, at least Brady and Co. are genuine and care for the club. I want us to do as well as we can but if it means going down a division or two to build that club ethos then so be it.

Massive love in on this thread. I get it to a degree, in as much as I would love to see these three make it work. It is almost an ideal scenario.

The trouble is I’m not sure it is working. I can’t help but feel that the main change since Curle is that we try to play more football now, but we manage it only in very occasional glimpses and still do not really carry a threat or create a lot. The biggest worry is that we consequently have become a a bit of a soft touch / lightweight / easily rolled type of a side and confidence looks fragile to me.

We need to show a bit more going forwards and I’d love to see us start to develop the ability to come from behind in a game.

So, I get the sentiment, but pragmatically there are more experienced and better qualified options out there, so I’d like to see a bit more from the team before tossing Brady etc the reins for three years.

I get what you are saying, but Brady and co can only work with the tools they are given and I think this team would struggle whoever was in charge. I think it needs us to get to the end of the season and have a big clearout and bring in players that Brady & co can work with to take us forward.

So you'd be content for us to lose our league standing in order to prove we are on the right path? Unbelievable.

You might have shot your self in the foot with the last sentence

they are curles players, he assembled the soft centre we now have!

we have improved our defensive record, but we still have the soft underbelly that curle left us with - thats more mental than organisational.

however, trying to play a better brand of football is all well and good, but you cant do it with hoofball players!!

recruitment in the summer is once again needed to be massive
