Absolute joke this, if true. Surely, even our people know the difference between ability and bullshit?
Who is the third man . ( sounds like a film)
The owner of Chesterfield certainly had some strong words about his lack of managerial ability. Unfortunately I can't find the interview now to refresh my mind. Surely even we can do better than him.

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.
There has to be more to it than the information in the public domain suggests. The decision between McCall and Caldwell is surely straightforward. Whilst Caldwell may have given an impressive interview, I feel it’s too much of a risk to take on somebody with a most recent achievement of relegating a team from our division and failing to turn it around. People never forgave Ferguson for overseeing relegation, but he did turn it around extremely effectively. If our aim is to challenge for the top six, then appointing Caldwell at this juncture would appear a step backwards. McCall is quite clearly the outstanding choice between the two. If the mystery third candidate is of the calibre of a Mark Warburton or a Simon Grayson, then I understand the value in hearing them out. But otherwise I would be very surprised if McCall hadn’t already demonstrated the qualities to suggest he’d be an excellent appointment at this stage.
Nowt like jumping to conclusions boys based on rumour. Two pages of tripe.
Ferguson. On appointment was hailed as playing attractive football and the man to get us in to the play offs that season. By end of his first season he was largely presiding over sub-Dickov garbage on the field and an ignominious relegation to the lowest tier in the professional game. Check goods before removing tag.
Knowing our Board it’ll be Minnie Caldwell Etc...etc...

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?

We played some great football in the promotion season when she had too end players for that division. When we had sub standard players for the division we were in he had to be pragmatic, simple as that.
