Whoever the manager is confirmed to be its not going to be exciting

There is very little to attract a manager currently, and even one who is currently doing well further down may look at us and think its not worth the risk.

There will be no exciting name, it is highly likely it will be someone who has failed somewhere else recently.

The fan base as a whole will be disappointed or underwhelmed whoever it is. On that old 1 - 5 scale the overall will be about 2.5 I reckon.

It is what it is though, we, as a fan base, have absolutely got to pull together for the rest of the season and deliver relentless support till the end.
Otherwise we are heading to league one, lets at least be able to say once the club made one of the changes we felt was needed, we did everything we could to back that decision.
