Getting worried now. We are getting to the point where we are more than a win away from safety and getting cut adrift.

FFS. another kick in the balls.

Sure Harry recently said he'd only go to a Premier league club.

Curbs has been out of the game far too long.

Billy might be an idea. Though all I can see with him is more play-off heartbreak season after season.

Just can't get over how we can't do the simple things. Makes you wonder what the hell goes on in training.

I would like a young, up and coming manager with fresh ideas. No expectation of immediate results (other than stay in this league) but build for the future and Premier league in 5 years. Is that too much to expect?

At the moment the club is in complete disarray.

I've been to a few games this year and it isn't happy watching.

Your right in the simple things. The defence is woeful. He attacking 'plan' is a joke and the players don't show any confidence in each other.

As for a manager. Who knows, Evans likes a track record, so I doubt a new younger manager is on the cards.

For all his faults jim magilton did a solid job.

I like PJ but there just doesn't seem to be any passion. He just seems to take it all in his stride which can't always be a good thing.

Harry has stated he would take a step down but I doubt that will happen.

I would love to see MM at the club. He's got a proven track record, is passionate and got a bit of a hard streak in him. PJ Has always seemed a little too friendly and nice. On the other hand we don't need another alcoholic psychopath like Keane in charge.

Talking of Keane, I'm praying we don't get the Blackburn cast off.

Do you think a new manager can cure all that is wrong?

The squad hasn't gelled, players are not performing as they can.

Whoever takes over is inheriting a sorry state.

No, not at all. However, something has to change and I can't see Clegg fking off at this point in time.

It's a shame, as I do actually like Jewell, he says the right things, but put simply, the results are not there.

On paper, the players look good enough, but as has been said many times, on the pitch, so many individual errors get made, and the manager can't legislate for that.

Still, he puts them out there.

I do believe he tried to get a number of defensive players in without any luck, whether that's simply down to the new FFP rules ITFC put in place or just Clegg or Jewell, we'll never know, but I do feel a bit of sympathy for PJ.

Still, what's more worrying is who do we get in?

Will Town get MM in? Owen Coyle? Curbs? Can we even afford them?

A manager who hasn't managed since forever.

Not great is it?

Not really. I'd have wanted him a couple of years back, but he's been our of the game too long now.

Still, it could be worse. Bryan Gunn could be in the running.
