IIRC it is the accepted wisdom that getting half the signings right is a good average. Even Fergie and Joe did nt really beat that. On that basis Shez/Wellens are 3/10 I put Hunt, Doyle & Bryan Lemsagem 2/10 Maouche & Nepo Wellens/Bunn are 3.5/10 (I've left out Palmer, good as he was) Iversen, Surridge, Lang, and Lyden was coming good Lemsagem2 2/2 100% Branger, Missile (Sylla left off!) Interesting. I'd say an honorurable draw!! Maouche last year was a failure.... ....Branger this year I'm still to be convinced. I think the domestic recruits still shade it on balance.

Most bookies class a caretaker as a 'next manager' if they manage 10 competitive games so even if Wild isn't getting the job full time, his odds won't drift too far.....

Another opinion that the Yernited loving pundits have hammered down our throats for the past 10 years to the point that it has now become conventional wisdom. I’ve watched Carrick enough with my own eyes and he’s never stood out as anything other than bang average. Id like to hear your opinion on Ousmane Fane...

Anyway, that was not the point, the point was it was close enough to not dismiss AL from any recruitment. So probably 52:48.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with the transfer window only open a few more weeks surely a new manager will want to put his stamp on the squad maybe with a few ins and outs? If he’s allowed that is!

Kusunga_Is_God Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Is there anyone in the building who knows how to sign a player? This appointment is massive. We still have a great chance to get into the Play-offs. I do however think it will be a routine away win on Saturday, lack of preparation from inexperienced staff+ injuries/ loanees going back will severely hamper us.

Lee Sinnott Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I still think the Youth team role is the one that Wild wants full time. Just don't think Lemsagam is in too much of a rush to appoint whilst we keep winning with Wild in caretaker charge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can forgive you pointing out the inexperienced staff, injuroes, and loaness going back, but to say we will lack of preparation after the past three games is ridiclous. The prep for Saturday was standout, and highlighted by Surridge for which way to go to the pen and constant talk between PW & PC,and we have a standout guy helping PW out in the analyst department.

Surely the Academy boys suffer too [having already lost Philliskirk] as Wild & Millington are focussed on First Team duties? Poor from Lemsagam. Strike now while we're on a high by appointing his own man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said yesterday, think Saturday is his biggest test in a funny way. Full week of his training, 2 key players gone, no sign of replacements at time of writing, facing one of the better sides in the league.

Loanees going back won’t help or any injuries but I don’t get the lack or preparation comment. Go away to Port Vale and win 4-1, nullify Tom Popes threat, then a 2-0 home win against Notts County, nullify Jon Stead threat and win comfortably. Then to top it off go away from home to a premiership side and nullify their threat, can’t remember Iversen being tested really apart from the penalty which PW stated was dealt with by the work the goalie coach did with Iversen and gain a fantastic 2-1 win. All of that tells me they are not lacking preparation. i do agree that we need to sign some players though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right, in many ways a harder test, and much harder to keep the motivation high. I wonder if AL might be seeing more of what he thought a manager should be doing, rather than the dourer FB or the side tracked an bolshy RW. It could work then.

oafc1955 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Does anybody think it a little strange Scholes hasn’t been ruled out, or ruled himself out of the running as yet? There is usually a surge in media attention around Scholes whenever this job comes up but this time not a ripple. Maybe he isn’t interested and the bookies are just covering themselves or maybe something is happening under the radar? I hope it’s the latter!

That is until there is a sniff of scandal and then it's out there for all and sundry to feed on !!! Come on AL put us out of our misery.
