still going on about this? it's boring now, move on
On what criteria do you base that on Conker ? Have you been on a relevant selection panel ? When the Scottish Manager left us in the lurch JR had no hesitation in securing DF's services ( even paying compensation). Are you saying JR and his advisors were out of touch ?Conker wrote:Flitcroft is seriously not rated within the football world so it would be a surprise appointment - wish him all the best though, he gave his all for Mansfield but it was not good enough.

You are a tease !Conker wrote:He’s not been successful for a while, football is very fickle and the only proper success is his promotion with big spending Bury (shame he didn’t manage that for us)
I don’t think JR is very good at all at appointing managers, the only success was Paul Cox and he’s been here ten? years now.
Sorry to upset the pro-Flitcroft apple cart Andy, it’s a tough old world.

But seriously finishing fourth, one point from promotion and loosing on penalties in the playoff semi final and you don't count that as success? Ask fans from any other club about the sacking of DF and 90% will say it was madness.
I don't particularly want to get on that subject, but ask yourself if as you say he is SERIOUSLY not rated in the football world, why is he on Doncaster's shortlist of three?
It always makes me smile when people talk about the budget. Does anyone know outside the club how much the budget exactly was. Also the eleven on the pitch didn't change substantially apart from the injuries. So was it all the managers fault, or did nerves of the players have a part to play. Lincoln kept faith with their manager who narrowly failed to get them over the line. Notts County sacked their manager who narrowly failed to get them over the line. Lincoln got promoted whilst Notts County were relegated. Maybe where we finish next season will indicate if DF was fully to blameField Mill wrote:Amber Andy wrote:You are a tease !Conker wrote:He’s not been successful for a while, football is very fickle and the only proper success is his promotion with big spending Bury (shame he didn’t manage that for us)

Come on Andy. The surrender in his first season was a disgrace. Anyone with a Level 1 coaching badge could have got us into the Play Offs from that position. Last time out? Huge budget and tailed off in the last twelve to a pathetic extent. No manager has ever had money on that scale since our return and his caution was pathetic. Nice guy fine, but not a manager. 'Respect the point' is fine when you've not had the money he got but woeful when you are backed to the extent he was. And let's not go there on his January dealings...
