    What happens if we lose the Play Off semi-final? Or if we progress to the final but lose it? How would you take the club forward from there?

    I would probably start with a new manager, assistant manager, coach and goalkeeping coach.

    After much thought and planning, which I assume Michelle and the Board are already doing; planning a contingency? She’s not Davey five names after all.

    It depends on the manner of the defeat. If it’s an embarrassment then it could be Dean’s last game. If not, then it’s hard to say, as we don’t know what’s been going on behind the scenes and how the board feels about Dean and his management. You also have to consider whether anyone more suitable would be available or want to take charge, the current state of club finances, etc. etc. As fans we aren’t privy to all this knowledge, so who knows?

    They’ll have to figure out how they can keep employing Musselwhite for another 30 years

    Much as I want Jimmy and the gang to be successful he himself has stated it’s promotion or bust.

    Given the playing budget and the differences in quality of our squad relative to the level I think this is fair enough.

    Not suggesting he would deserve to be sacked but surely he wouldn’t be offered a new contract.

    Agreed MK, the amount we’ve spent there’s no other option but to let Jimmy go if we do fail.

    Whatever league we are in, I’d imagine the budget is going to be cut. However, The early indicators suggest the club is very much heading in the right direction off the field and I hope we continue to push for community engagement and build the fan base up.

    18 OOC?
    Reduced offers aplenty.
    NLN or NL.
    Who is it essential that we keep?

    I don’t think promotion is a necessity for the club but it is for Dean: personally, I wouldn’t retain him after this summer but other opinions are available.

    Either way, Saturday could be the final game that a lot of these players play for SUFC.

    Promotion is good. It helps in the marketing of the club for the board and the promotions teams in the back office.

    As far as we know we think 18 are OOC, perhaps some deals have been done but not announced. The budget has to be less because the board need to reverse outgoings to protect the club. In the coaching side I would consider only Andy Butler to remain. If we are having a new manager then they must be involved in recruitment so I wonder if an appointment has already been made who has suggested who stays and who could be recruited.

    Certainly there will be buzz from this seasons final whistle. Best to all Supporters.

    The one we will be impressed by, but you did imply that the one who did the recruiting wouldn’t be the manager. Or were you covering all eventualitys.

    I’m impressed, others will be.
    You obviously won’t but then you’re confusing me with someone who gives a shit whether you are or not…… you’re insignificant!

    Would it be one of our greatest ever central defenders who was an incredible penalty taker?

    Watched the Iron since 1964 and Crozzer is one of the best centre backs I ever saw pull on an Iron shirt, watching him lead out the team with that broken nose and contemptuous look on his face was enough to scare me never mind the opposition. What a great leader and motivator he was for us.

    Interesting that you’ve all misread what I’ve stated.
    I stated that “the current manager would not be responsible for player recruitment next season”
    I didn’t anywhere state that the current manager wouldn’t be here next season although I would personally prefer he wasn’t.
    All depends on the (hopefully) next two games as to whether he is or not.

    I can’t think of all that many players who could have kept Crozzer out of the side.
    Frank Burrows – definitely.
    Keith Burkinshaw?

    “There will be a new manger in place for next season” (Flourishing loanees March 23rd) SNOT, maybe not lying like Turkey gate. But please keep up with what you’ve posted it just makes you look utterly stupid and fake. As if I didn’t know that already lol.

    It was wishful thinking on my part, although I wouldn’t discount it happening.
    I do find it highly amusing that you spend time trawling through the forum though, you’re obsessed with me, it would be frightening if it wasn’t so amusing.
