Uncle Buck said:Garth why do you bother to type these endless threads going on about how great McGhee is?
Would it not be easier to bounce one of the old ones you have are copy the main points out of them and bastarise them with a few swipes at Knight?
Oh hang on....

Brixtaan said:I'm glad McGhee lost the dressing room.It meant that the lazy fucks didn't like his work demands.Now they get it easy and look where we are.
It seems simple to me.Get the go-ahead from Ruth Kelly,bring back unemployed Micky Adams (or beg to MM),send Wilkins back to the kids,sign Danny Cullip and Tom Brighton and start to build up the hype and momentum that will propel the Albion to their rightful place:Mid-table Premiership.
Uncle Spielberg said:The time has no come for the McGhee out brigade to put their hands up and admit they made and contributed to one of the biggest, worst and incredible cock ups and mistakes in the history of this football club. I do not have pleasure in saying " told you so " as the future of the club is too important for petting point scoring.
Surely NO ONE can still say we are better off with Wilkins in charge than if we kept loyal to McGhee when I believe we would have got top the play offs.
We have shot ourselves in the foot and commited football suicide. Have we not leanred that appointing managers from within and the youth set up DOES NOT WORK.
We had the perfect set up with McGhee and his wealth of Div 1 experience and superb track record of promotions from this league and Wilkins learning the tools of the trade from him. It was simply too soon for Wilkins to take on the role, he does not have the experience, contacts , football nous and most importantly respect of the players to deliver the goods. He delivered the most damning indictment of his postion today by saying we worked on it all week and the players did not listen / do the things I asked them to. Well why not ?, your the manager, you pick the players, you do the team talk, you make the subs. He is obviously a soft touch and the players do not play for him, that much is obvious now.
Whats to be done, Knight was the man who decided to sack McGhee for no good reason and appoint Wilkins probably instigated from the boardroom . Well either give serious funds to buy 1/2 players who will keep the team up if you have the confidence in Wilkins to spend the money wisely, like we should have done last season or 2, sack Wilkins now and give the new man enough time to keep the team up.
Sitting on his hands and doing nothing and spending nothing is simply not an option this time around. Division 4 football which is where we are surely headed would be a disaster to the Falmer bid and another reason for a party for LDC, 2 relegations in a row beyond their wildest dreams.
The time for ACTION IS NOW AND THIS WEEK.

Rougvie said:I've heard there is TOTAL backing for Wilkins from all board members, but rumblings that if we are drawn into a relegation battle we must splash the cash to get a proven goalscorer in on loan,
Rougvie said:What you really have to ask yourself is would we be any better off with a new manager, i'm afraid to say the answer is something that nobody can say for sure, we were piss poor yet agian on Saturday, very little fight, very little ambition and ZERO direction because there is no leader on the pitch, one thing I am certain is that the results may have been a bit different under McGhee, but unless he had persuaded a PROVEN goalscorer to join us (which he failed miserably to do in his time here) we would be in more or less the same predicament.
