I don’t rate him but then again half the squad should be playing on a Sunday morning not Saturday afternoon

The outside noise comes from pretty poor performances in what is a poor league, the voices of some of this outside noise parts with their own cash to follow (and save) the club. It’s a slippery slope to try and instil a them and us when the ‘them’ clearly weren’t performing (simple 5 yard passes as en eg) and the us the people who keep spending money and donating to the club.
At least OT does challenge and if Andy wants a career in football management at any decent level you’re going to have to get used to being challenged with questions you might not like answering.
Let’s see how they play v Hereford which is now a very important fixture.2 users thanked author for this post.
I can’t see him wanting to come back. I’m sure he’s chilling and enjoying life atm and does help out where he can – which he doesn’t have to.
I think we’re in such a unique position (and a dreadful one at that). It needs somebody who can get a tune out of this side, and at this level.2 users thanked author for this post.
For clarity I meant the OWS interview, I think Olly asks good probing questions (I didn’t make that clear enough) .

Those SUFC interviews might as well be a Nirth Korean press officer interviewing Kim Jon Il, offers no challenge whatsoever.
I’ve always supported Butler, it was getting harder by the day and listening to RH they were very damning of the whole situation. The players have to take some responsibility but everybody knows the movement out of the club isn’t the players it’s the manager. If he cannot see what is in front of his eyes then I feel for him because he will lose his job in the not too distant future. The players are an absolute disgrace btw but the tactics worse still.

That was a hard watch, really low on quality, the amount of misplaced passes and turnover of the ball was staggering – on both sides. It was proper village stuff.
I did mention about part time but not based on any insider knowledge but I can see a prolonged stay in this division with the current set up and part time looks more likely given the situation. It will put a fair few off.

Sometimes players are under instruction to do things which can mask as not being good enough or bothered. Southgate at the Euros was a classic example of players on the leash and off the leash (chasing the game when down).Most would agree when behind and a formation change has been necessary the threat levels we pose went up / so there is something there to work with. I just want Butler to at least try something beyond a 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation and see what it yields. Every footballer in the land, pro or a amateur can play a 4-4-2/4-3-3, I wish Butler would at least try it – for the sake of his job because I want him to succeed.

Laws Robins Alexander McAll all tried 3-5-2 (maybe even more managers) and they almost always produced turgid football, not pretty and very frustrating, some of these managers had very good players at their disposal. We should have enough quality to play decent under 442

There were professionals and pub players on the pitch today, you couldn’t tell who was who.

Agree that sacking Butler isn’t going to happen but 3 wins in 14 in what is without the doubt one of the worst leagues for fans to watch professional football in. Something has to change and doing the same thing over and over funnily enough isn’t working. He needs a midfielder needs a formation change

Seen a stat that we haven’t won on Saturday since August? Played 14 won 3? That is a damning stat in what is a pub league.

I’ve supported Butler and still hope he stays but the only way he’ll save his job now is to look at the formation. If he cannot see that then no one can help him.

It is strong language, no mutual consent stated, just a termination. In the non footballing world it probably means a lot more.

Football is awash with ex pros who are useless at management, some very high profile ones to boot. Do fans know better? Probably not but you don’t need to be Zidane to see something isn’t working, we’re in the relegation spots on the form table for the last 8 or so games – with the resources available that is really bad.
