Good Point...

What he has done is revitalised a club that was going nowhere and who were relegation candidates.

We need someone to come in here and do the same for us. Feck getting back into the Prem, thats light years away from even being a possibility, what we do need is someone young (tick), ambitious (tick), who has played at the highest level (tick) and has, admittedly in the short term-and yes, next season will be that version of Robins' "difficult second album")-done well and been noticed.

I would get him on board, retain Crook and Deehan, give Deehan a more visible role and say "you've got three years, no matter what... (yep, risky, but gives them time and confidence) ...happens in the interim, get on with it..."

God bless Gunny and all who sail in him, but, for me, he isn't a Manager.

- I'm undecided on this so far. Gunn's got one or two things badly wrong for me so far, but (NCFC) - megson, Apr 23, 10:09:14
  - out of interest, which mistakes? (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 10:22:46

  - But logic tell me... (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:13:43
    - I don't believe anything is guaranteed (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 10:24:13
      - That is true. But it is about taking the lesser gamble. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:26:07
        
        It is, but ALL the great managers were inexperienced at some point, you can't rule someone (NCFC) - megson, Apr 23, 10:57:53
- We don't have any money to pay compensation (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:08:55
  - They all have 6 month contracts only. No compensation required (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Apr 23, 10:18:17
    - I mean for another manager (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:20:39
      - Ahh. Sorry. (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Apr 23, 10:33:30
  - A contract given then on the basis of one good result. Utter incompetence. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:16:38
  - a promise of a full-time job and a big fat bonus might've helped persuade them (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 23, 10:16:20
    - But only if they kept us up i would hope. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:17:32
    - ^^^ dependant on them keeping us up... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 23, 10:16:50
      - maybe (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:17:42
        
        OK, not sacking, but not renewing (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:21:01
        
        They should not have to sack him if the deal is only till the end of the season... (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:19:32
  - If that is true then that is madness and we deserve to sink lower. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:14:35
