Well done, you managed to misquote not one but two people :)

Now please show me where I suggest what you suggest I suggested. I won't hold my breath.

It doesn't really matter, what isn't in any doubt is that Hector's shameful attempt at mocking our Manager is nothing more than bullshit.[/quote]

Labadie and Chappell got recalled after about 5 minutes...two of the wins came right at the end after they had gone. So, cannot really see how you can suggest that it was Alan Knill's team at the end of last season. Any way, only you could try and defend his glorious record of a mighty FOUR wins last season as something good. You essentially defeat your own argument. If it was his team, then he did crap. If it wasn't, then he is doing even worse now with his own team.

Alan Knill doesn't require any mocking. His record does that for him.

Not when you know that the sack, and a nice pay off could be coming any day.

Would it be worth you considering petition seen as you have a break until your next game (not rhetorical question)?

Alan Knill has ostensibly done likewise and signed a few decent players, but has yet to achieve anything with his squad. Even allowing him some slack for injuries and 'bad luck', however, we all expected, quite reasonably, more than bottom of the league at this stage of the season. More is still possible, of course. Unlikely, the way things are going. Very unlikely, but possible. Trying to be positive.. :-/

Knill will have to be sacked one day either now or in the future. Otherwise he has got a job for life.

Why would he ever resign when he can get sacked and receive a one year pay off.

Also looking a bit further forward for Knill if he has a future here.

If Knill stays and somehow manages to get us out of this then next season is going to be even tougher because not only will he be expected to get us playing something like league 2 football but he will also have to overachieve as the bare minimum in order to win some of the fans back round. Any bad start or crap footy will be pounced upon immediately.

If Knill stays and we go down, not only will he be in an untenable position but the fans will pretty much want a return to the league regardless of budget as the bare minimum.

Knill is highly unlikely to deliver any of these scenarios and will have to be sacked at some point so we may as well do it now instead of having another season in whatever division worried about Knill.

Alan Knill is the manager and ultimately must shoulder the blame, however I do still back him, this situation is by no means is fully down to him, some our players have had a huge part to play in this, should the club be relegated some of our players will need to hang their heads in shame.

Hargreaves, Mansell, Nicho...NO !!!!!!!!! never, don't let them anywhere near the management of our club. Right now a proven fire fighter is needed, saved Barnet on a yearly basis until he got the Gills job, one name only for me Martin Allen.

Yes he is likely to be out of our price range, so it may come down to Thea once again, the alternative is relegation, Aldershot were forced into administration by it, Hereford have a group of fans paying some players wages because of it, we must avoid it at all costs.


With respect I am unable to back him whatsoever, I am aware that some on here have witnessed patches of decent play but to consistently turn out the performances we are currently with what I consider a reasonable team is IMO time for a change. I agree under a new manager some players need to be told this is it, their last chance, don't perform/play as instructed and your out.

Again I have massive respect for the board and it's employees but unfortunately for the club and I the lack of action is doing nothing to entice me to fork out close on £100/game plus fuel over the Dec/Christmas period.
