Caldwell and McCall

[the vicar]

At the end o

DonnyBazRover, the trouble is we can only speculate as the rest of the world is moving forward signing up their preferred players and we are stuck in a rut. We have no official information to discuss. Whoever gets the manager’s job will have the usual excuse for failure that they are having to work with a team built by Ferguson, and not themselves.  Ferguson obviously decided he could not make next season a success within the board’s constraints, so it is highly likely any new manager will equally struggle.
If we had kicked off early with new signings would we have not seen that as a positive, so why isn't starting late not a negative?

Depends how you look at things. You can feel the board bashing simmering under the surface. The machine guns are pointing ready to fire and ask questions later.

The situation is not ideal but whomever is appointed has got a head start with a decent squad and staff already in place with Strachan and Wilcox etc.

The issues are still the same, we need about 3 quality signings and June is not the time to be panicking whether these players will be signed ready for 4 August.

Let them get on with it, and when there's something to tell us, they'll tell us.
[/quote AT the end of the day you cant blame fans coming on here speculating as it is a forum to talk about all things Rovers, some will be true some wont be but it gives us something to talk about, even argue about that is what a forum is about, if we all agreed with eachother then there is no point having a forum now is there

He wouldn't be the first appointment that ended in tears.

Absolute joke this, if true. Surely, even our people know the difference between ability and bullshit?

Key word here. People massively overreacting to this. Especially if it doesn't even turn out to be true, or if it is true, he isn't the one appointed. People are acting as if the club have marched into their houses, molested their children and shagged their wives in front of them.

Agreed RedJ (despite the excessive example), people are acting like the board are devious and/or imbeciles for considering Caldwell. He has a promotion out of this league and that's more than most have, big budget or not, and I'm sorry to say but there is no way he is solely responsible (or even the #1 culprit) for Chesterfield finding themselves in the National League. They have had off-fiels problems for a while and let's not forget Caldwell left early this season when there was most of the season to stop them finishing in the bottom 2 of the fourth tier.

None of this is to say I want him here particularly but people do overreact. I'd prefer McCall but I'll give any new manager the chance, with a few exceptions (the Westley's of the world) to prove they're up to the job.

been thinking about the caldwell interviews at the end and he seemed to have been under continuous pressure apart from when his mob beat Donny kids 4-0 (lets blame that team for his demise) basicly he joined a titanic club as in sinking

we have this thread when we all knew where they were going -- i did an assination job on the club for their poor decisions FINANCIALLY link to it off

but as silent majority pointed out

Dave Allen stepped down from the board a couple of years ago and stopped putting in any cash. They've been on the slide ever since. He nearly had a buyer a few months ago, not sure why it didn't go through.

if Caldwell had known this fact surely he would never have taken the poison pill - at that time he was far too good for a team on the slide

think he needs to get a job in Scotland I am sure he will be a good manager but not at this moment in time here
