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.

I can’t see Crosby wanting to uproot himself to go manage in the National League North.

Again, how much experience of managing in this league did Tamworth’s manager have at the start of this season ?
Rarely works out that a manager with no experienced at the level goes on to win the league in his first season in it but reading about him you can begin to understand why they’re doing as well as they are.
Vastly experienced player at that kind of level with over 200 games under his belt.
Holds a UEFA B coaching license.
First season in charge of Rushden and Diamonds he won a cup double.
He has since led the team to the end of season playoffs twice before winning promotion to Step 3 at the end of the 2017-18 season.I think it’s fair to say their manager understands this level and football in general better than Dean.

As said before in another thread we have 4x the budget of the normal club at this level with the best support in the history of NLN and still he’s finding a way to struggle.
Dean’s contract is definitely up come the end of season and if I was Michelle and Co I certainly wouldn’t be offering an extension. I think we need a manager with experience at this level or the one below who fully understands this level of football and what’s needed.
Sticking point comes if we do go up then it becomes difficult to axe him but can’t see him prospering higher up as he’s struggling with us now at this level.
Regarding the midfield, Dean needs to grow some balls and drop Butterfield for Pugh and when Flynn is fit drop Scales. If we had another fit midfielder I’d drop Clunan as well but we haven’t so he stays in by default.
Whitehall needs dropping as he looks like he can’t be bothered anymore.

Pretty shocked he’s at least not on the bench to get the odd 10-15 minutes here and there.
Not arguing with your assessment of Poulter and that goal for Clee Town is a belter, but who are you leaving off the bench to include him, with only 5 subs available?
I’d leave Kelly out and include Poulter.

Best finisher at the club but Pugh came back as one of the most in form central midfielders in the league and yet we’re struggling in CM and he won’t give him a game.
No idea what’s going on in his head. I’d have played him in place of Butterfield personally but Dean keeps starting him and Scales. Clunan can stay where he is because we haven’t really got another sitting midfielder but scales and Butterfield both have been pretty poor for a while.
Scales I’d only keep in ahead of Butterfield because of his energy and mobility but I’d drop him as soon as Flynn is fit enough to start. I’m genuinely confused as to why Pugh isn’t starting and Poulter isn’t at least on the bench. I don’t quite understand the thinking behind it all.

Poulter scored a goal for us in the Lincs cup at home, a first time finish into the bottom right hand corner. The young lad is without doubt the best natural finisher at the club.
Only thing that goes against him is that he’s not the strongest. If he’s put on a strength programme similar to when KVV bulked up, there’s nothing stopping him scoring goals. I like him personally and he’s pretty quick which helps.

Whitehall looks like he can’t really be bothered. I wonder if his agent has been in his ear about clubs interested in him or he’s been told he’ll have to take a pay cut this season so feels less inclined to give a shit ?#
Whatever’s going on he needs benching.

Liam McAlinden’s only 30yrs old, for some reason I thought he was a lot older. Regarding the out goings, I expect Beestin to go out on loan due to the fact we signed Clarke. Shrimpton to go and maybe Law on loan to get minutes ?

1-3 to us. The new players and injection of freshness into the squad will do the trick.
