Why watch this mediocre football when you can sit by the pool. Paul's got it covered.

Spanishatag... most of us do put our hard earned in. Maybe as you dont you forgot.

It's a bit harsh and disrespectful to call it that. I agree.

That said, the finger is very much pointing at John now. He isn't above reproach and looks once again to have made a poor hasty decision where a new manager is concerned.

Hes asked JD for almost the impossible. Get promotion on a similar budget to your experienced predecessor but also bring through inexperienced kids. JD is on a hiding to nothing.

A very unfair comment in my view. Be careful because if they go it will be curtains.

I understand your disappointment but it's unfair to blame it on the Radford's.

An unnecessary thread at this point in time.

How is a bad management appointment not there fault?

And dont worry, as I've told you before. Unless they want to write off millions of loans they arent going anywhere.

When you look at how things have gone since they moved away it wouldnt be unfair to start to link the two.

Agreed . Hardly a vanity project . They both care passionately about the club and want success as much as any of us . At the moment they are relying on the man they have appointed . I doubt they will want to sacrifice another season so we will all have to wait and see. Personally I think they will be looking where we are after 10 games .

A hasty appointment yes, however they've told him the cash is there for more/another player so what more can they do?

May I suggest to JD as you don't know the outcome of the 'incident' he uses the cash to bring in a decent midfielder otherwise that cash will be your pay off.

It's frightening that JD thinks Macca a RW can be the main stay of his midfield

Whilst their financial affairs are their own things don't seem to be the same since by necessity they've had to go ex pat. It was strange at the crucial end of season run in and play off game not to see them there and the club seems flat.

It's been posted elsewhere that the JD appointment was unnaturally fast and against sll expectations but that is Mr Radfords call although it seems to not be working.

When you look at what is happening at Bury and Bolton be so grateful for what we have in the two of them as I'd rather have them in any guise with any manager they choose than any manager without them

Saying that....things still don't seem right

We will see how the Radfords feel by the end of the transfer window.

I think they will do their talking by investing in a couple of new players to replace the ones they have lost and hopefully that will shut the doubters up.

It's ridiculous to expect them to vocalise their feelings at this point in time and fans just need to be patient.

With the level of injuries combined with the stupidity of a couple of players, any manager would be struggling at the moment. I can't remember the start of a season when the team has been disrupted so savagely and early as this one except perhaps the last time we were in league 1. We sacked the manager then and it still led to relegation and brought in possibly the worst manager we ever had (in my opinion).

Jamie, please apply a bit of logic.

Who will suffer most by appointing a poor manager ?

JR may well be regretting sacking DF and employing JD.

I think it's very unfair for some fans to be directing their anger and disappointment against the Radfords.

A very unnecessary thread at this point in time, that will only cause more unrest.

Nail. On. Head.

Said elsewhere that my annoyance is as much directed at JR as it is JD.

It's so unlike him to be so hasty. This was never going to work.

Darrell Clarke please.

Something isn’t right at the club. It could be the cloud of idiot 1 and idiot 2s actions. Whatever it is it needs sorting.

I said exactly the same up at Carlisle. Something doesn’t feel right.

Usual pathetic comments by the same negative posters,
We went down the tried and tested route with DF and witnessed the biggest bottle job in the clubs history, For 45 minutes yesterday we were top of the league,
Way to early to start flapping like some of the pussies on here.

The ease in which we lost that game ( and second place in the league ) was unbelievable.

That cannot be denied.

Things are far from right at the club.

I'm usual positive with my comments. Let's hope it was a one off.
