I can see your point but he has appointed one manager, although he apparently had a say in Wellens' appointment. If Wild is still in charge at the end of January he would count.

fleetwood Blue Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 No way will Wild see beyond the Notts County game, we are needing new blood in January and we also need to be negotiating with the current loan players to stay for the season...Although Wild is an Oldham bloke and fan i really dont believe the step up from youth footy 12-16yr olds to the first team gives him the experience needed to be trusted with what we require in this window, hopefully the bloke gets a couple of wins because it will be totally unfair for him to be the next one potted when this role has been sprung on him.

All very logical and I can't disagree with you, but what makes you think Coco will see it that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I’m told Bunn only had a contract to the year end (31st December) so that AL had to decide to let him go or extend which after a six nil thrashing rather puts matters in a different light. What would you have done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of those who have left have gone to other things. They have announced their last days and there has been well wishes etc. Appointing replacements isn't as easy. I was actually working in the same office and it took 4 months for me to start working my new role. The time I changed organisations it was nearly 6 months. Some of those who have left the club have had some legitimate reasoning too. The Accountant- The issue with Corney's misdoings (Remember how AL said there were hidden accountancy issues) I wouldn't employ the same accountant after that (innocent or not). The Media Guy- Maybe AL received a complaint from Gary Davies and AL agreed with his complaint. A lot of his more vocal (former) staff members are on Twitter have an axe to grind. Simon Wood has an issue with him over pay but that's his problem given the bizarre circumstances he works in. (Don't forget he won an Amateur TV competition). A lot of Corney's hires were fresh-faced, straight out of uni types. Corney hired on the cheap and maybe AL had enough of their poor standard of work. We do not know what the Administrator did to apparently get sacked. We don't actually know who the administrator is. There are lots of reasons why someone gets sacked, lots of them apply in other industries and aren't connected to the boss being an alleged clown. Yes it is sad when people with families are let go, but sometimes letting someone go is the right decision. (I've not seen any Employment Tribunals announced). I'm inclined to think there is something in it but like I said above maybe AL has different standards. I think AL has a record already of appointing pretty much straight from Uni types too, or at least fast tracking promotions eg Pete W, and Mark S as Club Sec., Groundsman too, I'm not saying they do not deserve it, but thy have clearly been accelerated. another thing he seems to be doing, is amalgamating roles, where tradtionally there was a role for each.

Most if not all of those fast tracked will probably be working for the peanuts they were on in their original jobs. Great opportunity for them but there is no doubt every decision seems to be made around cost. It's why I wouldn't totally discount Pete Wild from getting the managers job particularly if he plays ball with regards to AL's interfering.

PW could get it, and I would not begrudge him it at all. But we all remember Wellens first 5 games, and it falling apart after that. For me, it would be it would not be unreasonable if we got an experienced with PW as Asst Mgr., and be fast tracking him as a succesion plan.

Or we let him run the kids, and use him as a temporary backstop, like this time, when required but put that succession plan for the inevitable next manager after this one, or even the one after that if it isn’t very long. Some of the experience he needs to be a manager he is probably more likely to get by running the kids as opposed to being someone’s assistant. Giving some members of staff time to learn the skills with a view to them taking over a more senior role is something we haven’t done as well as we could have since before Moore. If you look at some of our recent departures, I could have seen some of them taking over more senior roles 10 years down the line, but they were sometimes thrust into these senior roles too early.

The use of the bold print word means you don't really know and from that means you have no idea of Als behaviour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
