It is clear to all that he needs to go however, as many others have stated, finances may dictate the outcome of that
Dean has 3 or 4 months left on his contract so I can’t envisage costing a great deal to pay him up. I suspect sending Beestin and say Barrows out on loan will pay for it.
Cliff, I’m not sticking the boot into Jimmy as I’ve said before I like him as a person, but you can’t escape the fact this job is too big for him.
There’s still a cost though, along with Plummer and potentially bringing a replacement in. People mention Butler but he’s part of the coaching team that is failing to get a tune out of the players and has no experience.
You was also desperate for new players to come in when it could be argued they weren’t needed- another significant cost for us.
All I advise is people take a step back and try to look at the broader picture, if Dean loses the next 2/3 of games it will be clear that the position is completely untenable and he has to be paid off, however in our current financial state i’d prefer that to be the absolute last option.
In an ideal world we could limp through to summer and regroup, whether that comes to fruition is anyone’s guess.

Agree Rene, wasn’t long ago he was owed thousands in wages and expenses. It would appear he’s struggling and possibly well out of his depth, but I for one won’t be sticking the boot in whilst he’s down.
It’s an unfortunate situation where the club can’t really act unless their hand is forced.

If we don’t go up this season it will be catastrophic, the board need to see it.
Will it?
There’s hardly a pot of gold in the national league, no extra tv money and the away attendances will marginally increase
It will be a complete failure to not achieve promotion with this squad, however with the budget due to be slashed I certainly don’t see the desperate need for promotion in terms of the club’s sustainability.

Very poor? All or probably more often their money back in value is poor?your mate Hilton’s scam was poor,this is a great offer that they didn’t have to make
I’m not sure that’s necessarily true as the contract was between the club and the buyer.
Nevertheless the offer seems to be a fair one, it’s a shame that supporters were conned and the initial outlay is huge, however over time they should hopefully regain their outlay.
For those still not happy- and there will be some- I do believe the offer of a full refund should be kept on the table until the beginning of next season.

Another obstacle overcome and a huge step in the right direction off the field.
Signing a couple of players to me though is unfortunately papering over the cracks; this is Jimmy’s squad and x4 times more expensive than our rivals. We should be doing better regardless.

Harsh on Ogle & Butterfield IMO Cliff.
Basing it on the last month Cass, their standards should be higher as without doubt they are better than this league.

There’s no way the players were playing for Jimmy yesterday; I’m of the opinion that bringing in more players or changing the formation is just rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic.
His senior players in Ogle, Clunan, Butterfield and Whitehall are all performing well below par; he needs to find a magic formula to rediscover their form or it could become ugly very quickly for him.

We was 2 up top most of the game- didn’t make the slightest bit of difference
We were sort of, but they weren’t playing close enough together because at times the other was dropping deep.
Honestly don’t know what you were watching then mate.

They were one of the worst sides we’ve played all year- a draw is not good enough.
alarm bells are ringing now

Good result on paper with Tamworrh drawing but that Absolute garbage served up today i’m afraid.
Huge gaps in the midfield, it’s been a problem for a while now and one of the reasons we hardly win a second ball. We struggled big time on goal kicks as Rushall set up with a high press and stopped us playing it through them, no outlet up top either; Nervous performance all round.
Might seem harsh but we haven’t been right for a while now and we have a squad assembled which is x4 more expensive than everyone else. If we are serious about going for the title we have to be better.

Tamworth I thought were fairly poor themselves. I don’t think they were anything special at all in all honesty. They were more physical and better drilled but that’s about it.
One thing I will say is we look lightweight in midfield. Scales get’s bullied out of it and Butterfield is now ineffective. Clunan is ok but nothing more than that.
I know Beestin is still struggling in terms of match fitness but I’d go him and Pugh in the middle with Clunan behind them with Scales on the right wing with Ferris on the left with Whitehall through the middle.
The CM area needs beefing up. I know it’s a risk playing Beestin there but he’ll be fitter after last night and with more game time he’ll get back to not looking like he’s playing in lead boots.
If Dean was more tactically clued up then he’d change it up and move Butterfield much further forward in a no 10 role and play him behind Whitehall in a bid to get him time on the ball but he only knows one way of playing.
Can’t agree with that, thought they put in a very good performance; as an away fan you’d be absolutely delighted with the way they played and it’s no fluke they are on such an incredible run.
Saturday will be interesting, does he double down on the 4-3-3 and the same personnel? The post match interview was concerning as he didn’t seem to acknowledge none of it was really working before the red card.
Personally, I haven’t seen nothing from Clunan since he returned from injury to suggest he should be starting, Beestin just doesn’t look fit enough either so I’d consider putting Pugh and Sembie Ferris in the starting line up. Butterfield has to be further up the field too, I’d almost play him as a second striker and end up in more of a 4-2-3-1 which was more or less the way we set up earlier in the league.

Chris skinner was one of the few on the Facebook group who gave Herbert what for before his, and Hilton’s eventual downfall.

About 600, train prices were never cheap when tickets first came out so put a lot of going, on the day £64.20 and people paid it.
Very good, especially with the time of year.
Looks like a fair few Scunny fans are going in the home end for S’boro, hopefully not a repeat of the scenes at the hawthorns today.
