What is to be done?
Re: What is to be done?
I also think that Tony K has been crucial to the survival of our club. I think of what happened to Leyton Orient and others. I am not uncritical but he brings us solidity and financial reason.

Survival!
It's not just about survival surely to God?
We were a debt free going concern when he took over. Survival should be the bare minimum and that's setting the bar pretty low!
Re: What is to be done?
I worry that there won't be any decent players who would want to join us in January. Why would any player join us - a club in disarray, changing managers every 5 minutes, unable to offer a consistent, progressive and attractive style of play and looking more and more likely to be in the Conference next year. Sadly I fear that the only players who could be interested are those at the end of their careers who are looking for a last pay day and 2 year contract. We've seen too many of those.
If what I say is true then I can't see us staying up this season. I'd assumed that by now with his so called experience McGhee would have stabilised matters (see Moyes at West Ham, Allerdyce at Everton) but the game against Cheltenham showed that he's even managed to destroy the players' ability to pass the ball and his only tactic is to hoof the ball towards JA.
Oh dear!

As well as refuse to take any blame and instead shift it all on to the players. His post match criticism of Jack Taylor on 2 occasions this evening is embarrassingETBee wrote: If what I say is true then I can't see us staying up this season.

Re: What is to be done?
I put a fair portion of the blame on our chairman. He decided a manager with a very shit CV would be the right man to get us out of danger, and to be honest I havent thought much of him since he raised ticket prices to fund better football. Yeah good one TK like any of us believed that was the case. It was pure greed. Your increased bank balance wont last.... The football has been utterly dire for most of the season. You've lost a load of casual fans, and more importantly, you've lost a big bunch of season ticket holders. I can count almost 10 people I know this season who have ditched theirs. Combined with the traffic laden drive to and from the Hive from Barnet, the shambolic car park, the extraordinarily useless bar staff, the extraordinarily disgusting beer... the list goes on.
There are many people like me who simply cant be arsed anymore.
There is an old saying 'the writings on the wall'. I think our sinking ship has too many holes in it. Anyway I prefer the conference away days.

Re: What is to be done?
Sadly I don't think Martin Allen would
A) want to come back
B) be the same presence he was before. Since his shock heart issues I imagine he has lost some of his gusto

Re: What is to be done?
Hated Allens football.But a mix of Allens Man managment and Rossi's football would be quiet good.
Sorry if that sound ridiculous,but we are in a desprate situation.

Ain't he's name on here just Anthony or Tony? I swear he has answered questions on here before.

Re: What is to be done?
Start by getting rid of James Thorne. He is a wage we could put to better use. Rossi could do what he is doing now and do Thorne’s job. He is an arrogant waste of space that we do not really need around the club. He gas brought nothing to the table since he has been put in the job. Just my take on things
Re: What is to be done?
I would just get Martin Allen in, secure league status, and write this season off

Re: What is to be done?
With 22 games left and a transfer window there's no way I would right this season off. With the right appointment and a good transfer window we could easily put a run together. It's far too early to be having a siege mentalityBEE428 wrote:I would just get Martin Allen in, secure league status, and write this season off
