marky wrote:Oh I quite agree. They really should have accepted his resignation last year. Would have at least given a new person a chance to assess the squad long before the January transfer window and would also have given a new person long enough to work with with the players to turn things around. Absolutely no point getting rid of him at this stage. We just have to hope both Barnet and Stockport are still the worst 2 teams in the division come May and get rid of him AND Mark Lillis then. I know people want Jim Bentley and I can understand why (legend and all that) but what we need is a completely new pair of eyes.
And PT Indie, I do think that we have the best collection of individuals we have ever had but they are possibly the worst TEAM for a very long time. That's the difference. There's only one man who can be blamed for that.

Some people just dont think. There was a comment somewhere that sammy doesnt care at all for morecambe which is just plain ridiculous. Its not all Sammy's fault, its the players fault. He plays the best team, i dont think anybody can complain about team selection, except for a couple of weirdos who think the world revolves around mullin. Andy Parrish is the only player that gives 100% commitment and every game he is head and shoulders above every other player in red on the field. So if one player is capable of putting his all in, why arent the other players, and why is sammy to blame for that? Motivation is clearly a problem for alot of these players and if you are blaming the staff, then you are blaming sammy, mark and jim. so as stated, bringing jim in will change nothing
marky wrote:I actually believe there's a collective problem. A number of our players are what you would describe as lower league journeymen. Now whilst I have no doubt they they try to give their all, how passionate can you actually be when you're playing for a different club every couple of years? So it could be perhaps claimed that there might be an issue with some of the players themselves on that front. However, who is it who instigated bringing such players to our club in the first place? Sammy McIlroy. Who is ultimately responsible for drilling the players and motivating them to give their all every week? Sammy McIlroy. Who has been bemoaning defensive errors all season yet appears to have got no further forward in rectifying this despite the fact 3 members of the current back 4 weren't even with the club when the season started? Sammy McIlroy. Who is responsible for allowing Sammy to continue with his somewhat haphazzard and short-termist recruitment policy? The board. Who was responsible for the mess that was the delayed Globe fiasco that so severely disrupted our preparation for this season? Globe themselves and quite possibly the man in charge of the project on the board. Very little has gone right for the club on and off the field since the Aldershot match that got us into last season's play-offs.
I'm optimistic enough to believe that we won't get relegated, with or without Sammy McIlroy. But come May, I honestly believe the board need to sit down and think about where we go from here. We have a ground that is now capable of making us money and is also capable of financing the achievement of the Chairman's aim of sustained League 1 football. Do they still believe that Sammy is the man to guide us through the next stage of our journey? Do they feel, like I do, that they need to invest in some form of official youth development programme (NB - it need not be a full academy if the costs for that are too great)? As for individuals to replace Sammy, I honestly couldn't say. It's not really my job to find a new manager for the board. But our chairman has run very successful multi-national companies for a long time. He'll have the kind of contacts but in and out of the game that most of us could only dream of. I have no doubt he'd be able to land someone who could take us further than Sammy probably can.
