Danny Schofield

[mpc123]

It's alright having a summer window, but you need the right guy to use  it and also set the team up right, we don't have that.

[ForsolongaRover]

A lot of people have been talking about Sod
Not one person has mentioned Richard O’Kelly.

He had a massive bearing on the success we had. Now he was a proper coach.

Who has Schofield got as no 2 Gribble now nothing personal but what 1st team coaching experience does he have on his CV?

It’s like the blind leading the blind. And Blunt isn’t even looking.

I have at least twice!

On the other hand, if he pulls it off a lot of people will look daft.

I don't see it, I really don't

However, the focus on every word people say is a bit tiresome.  It is perfectly possible to be excited by the future and also pissed off about what the state of play is now.

I would caution though the clubs making a massive risk in their comments. They're trying to build expectation and I fear they're setting the summer window up to be a big fail as they've got to really back up their words now.

Agree hopefully 90%+ end up looking daft (although it’s justified right now no matter how well he eventually does).

They’ve put a lot of pressure on this summer window and the 1st few games next season now. So we will find out if they’ve got what it takes. Pressure makes diamonds after all. The club must know or see something that isn’t apparent to almost anyone else.

No matter how much they hope he’ll be given a clean slate as soon as the season ends it just doesn’t work like that. The guys in negative credit in a big way.

[normal rules]

It will be very telling to see how quickly copps and ds move to bring in the desperately needed fresh talent.
Surely the groundwork is already being done. ?
Surely they have players identified who have been spoken to. ?
Surely as soon as season ends the dead wood is out and the new wood is in?
All these questions and more are about to be answered. We are just Two weeks from season end.
We are all waiting with baited breath.
Over to you copps and ds.
No pressure.

And I’ve just read his recent comments in the dfp. If he thinks fans will judge him on “next season” he can think again. He will be judged in close season around who goes and who comes in, and then I’d say he has around 10 games. Not a season, just 10 games. He has already been judged of course with his performances to date and is in negative equity with supporters confidence and happiness. Copps too.
Something very special has to happen. In a relatively short period of time.

Perhaps the answer would be to get Radio Sheffield to do a programme all about our disenchantment. In normal circumstances you would want elected reps to present the case, but efforts to get the VSC/Silent Majority to tell us what is actually happening are ignored. The Shadow Board is seemingly unwilling to let us know what they know either. 

When the club adopts a strategy which ducks the key issue the questions to ask are obvious and I find it difficult to believe that the SB and SM don'f press them for a specific statement on the obvious underlying issues. But they tell us nothing informative. It is a strange type of representation. 

[Cramby10]

Those of a nervous disposition, don’t read the latest Free Press article. Wish I hadn’t.

with regard to my post earlier ive had time to digest and reflect on his words and I can I’m now absolutely f*cking raging. He said judge me next season! He’s been here 6 f*cking months!! I judge people when the going gets tough and he’s shown nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Any good coach should be able to get something out of any side. Even if it means shots on goal. They can’t all say nah I can’t do it cos I haven’t got my own players. It’s f*cking ridiculous.
He’s basically said f*ck it, this season doesn’t count. There was loads of time to salvage this season.
When he eventually gets sacked in October does the next manager basically get a free ride and the season written off with zero expectations. It’s unbelievable.
I’ve never said a bad word about the board but now I’m wavering big time!!

[normal rules]

Just when you think his pr can’t get any worse.
“Judge me on next season. “
This season has been poor but he has essentially tried to write the whole lot off. He is suggesting he should not be judged on it. On two thirds of a season. He wants a clean slate. Jesus wept.

I’ll liken him to a student who has just flunked all his a levels, and now decides he is going to do a masters next year.

In addition, what sort of message does this give to the players he has with him still? He is basically saying the last three games are meaningless. He won’t be judged on them, or at least he doesn’t think he should be.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Why sack McSheffery if this season was written off the moment DS came in. Might as well give GM the full season if that’s the attitude it would make zero difference.

If we’d have sacked DS a month ago and a new manager came in and said this it’d be fair enough with only a few games. He’s most of a season and takes zero responsibility for it.

Like I’ve said pressure is on big time to get it right quickly next season. If I hear an excuse come out of Copps or DS’s mouth next season I’ll be livid. I bet they will be one though we’re that type of organisation at the moment.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Interesting thought.

Who was the last permanent (not caretaker) manager that we sacked without giving them at least a close season in charge?

Anyone?

to be honest I personally don’t know or don’t give a shite. Who was the last manager with such a deplorable record?
The excuse culture and blame culture doesn’t work with me. Society is riddled with it. Just get your head down work with what you’ve got. Earn the right for better things! This joker has earned nothing. Wouldn’t give him the steam off my…..

[normal rules]

I can’t remember if Ian Atkins was sacked or just left because of Richardson?

[normal rules]

I wonder what Dave Cusack does with his weekends?

[LincolnDonny]

LOOK history of who was in charge and when is a massive thing ..

BUT

This at the moment for many months its total boll - twaddle (i cleaned up what i really think of the so called football being played NOW)

I just dont get why 90+ % can see its shagging useless (sorry i nearly lost it again)

WHY CANT

a) Danny Schofield

b) Copps

c) The Chairman

E. I have absolutely no idea.

[mpc123]

That Free Press article has just convinced me, I'm done completely.

No point bothering anymore. I was 4 when I started to support this club and I'm 50 next year.

The club is a complete joke, it is completely full of arrogance and void of any sense at all.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I think he resigned, but it wasn't totally clear at the time.

I have no doubt though that some posters would then say we have to give him ten games to put his theories into practice and for the new players to gel.
If it is still not right after ten games it will be that we should give him until Christmas.
We have seen it before and it is likely to happen again.


I have since seen three or four posters write about it.

 Giving him 10 games into next season was a generalisation about next season, which, despite my own wishes, we are stuck with.
I’d pay for his taxi right now. Tonight.

What exactly is it that you want me to say that I haven’t already done so?

I’m not here at everybody’s beck and call 24 hours a day!

I’m not having a dig at you NR, just emphasising that I knew that statement would rear its head again.
It happens all too often these days.

[sedwardsdrfc]

A couple of preseason injuries and we’ll have to wait till after Jan

[BillyStubbsTears]

Who was the last manager to be this bad for us

Darren Ferguson in his first season with us.
 
The two we had last season.

That's three in the last 7 years for a kick off.

[StocksArmy]

I am clinging on in hope that he defends these players so that he can move them on in the summer. I am so tired of blasting the guy that i am going to try to support him. The players are awful and have not helped him at all. Andersons contract really gets my goat.... appalling decision by everybody. No room for error next season amd feel we will get it right.

I do not doubt that you spend a lot of you own time in the service of the supporters and despite my questions seeming to have been ignored, I think I have remained polite and respectful. If I have missed your replies then I apologise.

However, I am not aware of a reply to the principal point I made in my post of 20/04/23 (Club Statement) when you confined your response to a definition of “Whatabouterism”

The same applies to my post on “Let’s talk about the Newport Co game” on 19/04/23 10:15pm.

I asked questions on 2/04/23 at 12:49pm and on 3/04/23 1:56pm “Supporters Board where are you?” And another on the same thread at 6:27pm.

There was also the “Talk about the Crewe A game” on 30/03/23 at 11:46pm

There was also “Sack Schofield now - yes or no” on 29/03/23 at 1:22pm and at 6:02pm and at 9:08pm.

Thank you

[Lesonthewest]

ROK now wat Walsall again.

That's a promising move by Walsall.

[dickos1]

Saunders and Ferguson both had seasons worse than this and both kept their job, to be given a season with their own squad.
Both succeeded

Not in league 2 though. 
This Coach, he isn’t a manager ( that’s the problem, he has no managerial experience at all )
Is the worst of all time.

He makes Fergie look like Guardiola, Steve Wignal look like Arteta and Wellens look like Klopp.

The Football we have seen from this man is the most boring, uninspiring I have ever witnessed

Yes it was bad under Wellens last season very bad but DS has a better squad than Wellens had last season and we are a league lower.

Wellens would have got us in the play offs this season if he had been our manager with this squad imo.

DS wins this contest of worst ever hands down imo.

The Richardson era you can’t count because there was so much interference from him and Weaver.
