That’s not fair.

You haven’t taken into account his previous managerial experience.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, never mind.

It's the fact he was the outstanding candidate...

I don't even know where I'm going with that but, well, fucking hell.

Correct.

The mistake was not binning Ross, the mistake was replacing him with a guy who was totally inexperienced.

I know that hiring any manager is a risk, but my feeling about promoting from within is that it very seldom, if ever, works. What a club has to ask itself is “if he wasn’t here already, would he be on our shortlist.” and if the answer is no, steer clear. Exactly why I don’t want us to appoint Barry Robson.

I feel quite sorry for Fox. He took over a team adrift at the bottom of the league, completely bereft of confidence and managed to turn it around (to an extent). Meanwhile, those above him have allowed decent squad options to leave and not given him the tools to replace them. This really isn't Fox's fault.

But, he has nowhere near the required level of experience and is floundering badly. He'll have to go but the blame lies elsewhere.

It's often a gamble worth taking if it was someone who was working under a successful manager who has left for another job.

It's fucking mental if it's the assistant of someone who was utterly dreadful

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I’m not reading the thread.

Why does Liam Fox tilt his head in interviews all the time.

Nervous thing.  I seem to do similarly in photos.  Not even conscious of it.

Thoughts and predictions?

 

Think we'll get 6 points out of this in a WDDLD configuration. But could easily see us losing v The Maureen's and Fermers. I have zero hope and zero expectation.

Booooo.

Way too optimistic.  This ain’t the ‘80’s.

Would be my guess.

Again, way too optimistic.  This ain’t the 90’s.

No hope for the future no hope at all under blundering Fox

Still in with a shout CC.
