penney or ?/

[c.hill12]

All the debate about sacking dave penney lets just see how many people really want him out and who they want in to replace him using names mentioned in other threads

[LaticsLee]

id love to see jim gannon here, he gets the best out of younger players and did a great job at stockport. but yet again penny did well with donny

[ste1987]

Penney until the end of the season. Out of that list of other names, I can only see either Ritchie or Duxbury (god hope not..) as people who would be interested in the position.

[LaticsLee]

why not duxbury ? carnt be worst than what we have already had once before. Like i said jim gannon would be good or even a return for iain dowie

[Alec1954]

Dux has always struck me as being more of a "doer" than a "thinker". Doubt he would be able to handle the tactical side of the game.

[F.O.B.]

Maybe at our level we need a doer rather than a thinker.

[LaticsPete]

As long as TTA are here, Dowie will not be asked back.

Yep, bridges well and truly burnt there.

[Horlicks]

Alan Irvine for me although he turned down West Brom last summer so doubt we would get him.

[garcon]

We might as well vote for a management team of Jose Mourinho, Mark Hughes and Sven Goran Erikkson as Alan Irvine.

Thick as two short planks by all accounts.

[Lookers_Carl]

Good lord not duxbury!!!!!!!!

 

Re first question, Ritchie or Laws I would be more than happy with

 

Although this season I would stick with Penney unless I genuinely thought he was going to take us down. Although some people have quite clearly already made their minds up there. If there comes a point where we slip into the bottom four, thats when he will lose my support

Maybe he meant the "other" Alan Irvine who played for Liverpool and a host of other clubs.

Compo should be OK, he Finance Manager for a Jaguar dealership in Edinburgh.....

 

Well according to the almost-as-reliable-as-the-Chron wikipedia, anyway.

I've won 4 out of my first 6 games as manager of Dover Athletic.

 

On that basis, I am chucking my name into the mix for the job.

That's all very well, but you were fooking shyte at the Vale...

For me its DP until March...

I thought you didn't like it when managers are sacked in March.

 

[futchers briefs]

Let's be different here and keep the manager we've agreed a contract with and give him time to do the job that he's been asked to do/the board have asked him to do!!

Yet another common sense statement probably unwarranted here - i apologise

[garcon]

Take a long hard look at yourself young man.

 

You are being FAR too reasonable, logical and sensible of late.

[Zorrro]

It's a radical concept.

 

Will you still be saying the same thing if we go down, though?

Yep.

 

But i don't think the TTA will.

 

Reason for edit; I'd forgotten i wasn't in charge

P.S. The fact over half of those who have voted have done so for Penney does tend to show that the calls for his head are still in the minority.

[garcon]

I'd say the same if we went down - he's a very good League Two manager!

[Zorrro]

For what it's worth, I wouldn't bother sacking him if we went down. It'd be pretty pointless.
