Could they not have moved it to Ilkeston?

Can’t comment on his tactics but I hope he’s not as defeatist in the dressing room as he is in his interviews, he comes across as anything but a leader. I always wasn’t impressed with the way he seemed to wash his hands of any responsibility for the results since he took over in his interview on Saturday – saying that it needed a lot of turning round and a lot of new players – well, you signed most of the squad Jimmy, so why should we trust you to do it all over again?

Your fascination ,no obsession with hunting down DH to the extent of what his favourite bog roll is and if hes tanga or boxer really has become more tedious than the media v Harry n Megs … to you and a hand full of others it may be of interest and make your trousers move alas me and im guessing most other normal SUFC fans just dont give a shit and are simply waiting to see the outcome re the GP issue ..DH saved our club paid off its tax and other debts for that alone i am very gratefulWhy are we blaming the messenger?

Good enough defensively though to add cover to a more defensively sound LB. I think he’d flourish on the wing. Another important thing about him is that he doesn’t get injured too often either.
I think we could do a hell of a lot worse then him and plus he’s versatile as he can play in CM at a push too.
It’s amazing how often attacking left backs don’t convert into left wingers, probably because the skillsets are more different than people realise. We saw it tried at Scunthorpe with Marcus Williams; we saw it at England with Ashley Cole & Wayne Bridge, it never worked. Running onto an overlap is very different from beating a man from a standing start, for example.

If it was all about the football Pat, you wouldn’t pick Scunthorpe United as your team to follow!

As I mentioned earlier, a good coach would give the players freedom to make not only in-play decisions, but also about the tactical approach for each match. For some reason many managers / coaches are stuck in the 1980’s and seem to believe that they should do all the decision making and thinking for players.
Interesting – one of the things I notice about Guardiola’s sides is that players don’t necessarily think for themselves because they have to be part of the team system. Or, put another way, individual expression is sacrificed for the greater good.
Of course, I agree with you that the “shouting & bollocking” style of management is an anachronism in the modern world.

Clubs aren’t really interested in season ticket holders once they’ve got their money, so the money is in the casuals (glory boys in my day) why should it be cheap for them when their not prepared to commit, they don’t turn up very often so make them pay, same in most other situations flights, holidays, buy a ticket for a concert or pay on the door, like NI says win games you’ll get the bums on seats.
Your argument doesn’t really hold up there. Do you pay less with Ryanair just because you take a flight every week? No.
That might be a suitable model where demand outstrips supply but that’s not the case at GP is it? Every seat unsold is a lost opportunity; even if you sell it for £1 that’s £1 more than you would otherwise have got, there’s no variable cost involved in selling more seats.

I’ve said it before plenty of times, the people most likely to be put off by the cost are the casual fans so why do clubs charge them the most? £20+ for 6th tier football is absolutely laughable. If you want to get bums on seats, prices have to be reduced.

What happened to the rule about not playing for more than 2 clubs in a single season? I’m surprised he can play for Eastleigh.

I genuinely believe we’d have been no worse off if Nelson had continued with no new signings.
It’s not all down to Jimmy, but the gamble to sign so many players has not paid off.With 1 win in 6 games, we literally couldn’t be much worse off!
Ultimately, whatever Dean’s pluses & minuses, we are still reaping Swann’s legacy and will continue to do so for a while yet.
