Monty Burns Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 l'm proper concerned. Sacking a manager who was making progress and temporarily appointing his polar opposite but not backing him to be even here next year seems like the epitome of a chapter called seemingly impossible relegation story in the Latics digital only picturebook of slowly (slowly) inexible gloomy sinkingness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Well, not 'proper' concerned, because it's a many variable perfect storm, but the maths is certainly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any interference and he will be off at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Kind of indifferent about Diarra and Jameson. Could do better, could do worse, but at least there's some form of continuity I guess. Bahamboula signing is obviously very good for the club, whether he's here or not next season. Hopefully if both him and Curle are still here then he isn't used as a target man often. How many have we got signed up for next year so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfield Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Before a ball is kicked, target for next season is promotion, any route, automatic would be lovely. Disregard any lame statements from the club to say this was even remotely likely this season. Through a remarkable and in my opinion improbable twist of fate, we find ourselves with a bonafide pedigree manager, proven at 4th division standard (never doubted Northampton would go up, ugly but effective). What an opportunity. The neysayers have already spoken, "it wont last, will be gone in less than 31 days" blah blah blah, good chance they are correct. IF the owner is willing and able to back KC with adequate funds, it strikes me we have a very realistic chance of escaping this L2 nightmare next season. Player retention, only a handful merit a new contract, some of which are expected to have better offers, this is clearly a big problem. Some say Conor Mac 'only scores goals', try to keep him, scoring goals is the way out, keep big Dylan somehow, make the 3-5-2 work, not bothered if we need to start again in L1.

Bit of shambles.

IanMarshall's Mullet Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Under these clowns I fully expect next season to be similar to this one with the gradual decline that we have experienced season upon season through poor recruitment continuing.

No ambition to become a Premier League outfit, clearly not sustainable. While I dont think Keith Curle has all the answers or will play the game as I would prefer, he knows how to produce a promotion winning side. As much as I dont like Neil Warnock's sides, I respect his knowledge and ability to over achieve. KC is right manager right time in my opinion, that's all.
