Assistant Manager at Warrington Town.

I’m sure I saw a tweet from him today to say that he had just been sacked from that job.

You are right.

What a dignified tweet from David Raven - honest and open. We could do with a bit more of that here. Lovely man.

If we struggled to attract players when we were one step away from the Premiership in the play offs, who are we likely to attract as we struggle to stay in League 1? We need DF and GB gone.

Well looking at it dispassionately, I would have to think Kahwana and DF will have some discussion on what players DF knows in the Merseyside and Mancunian areas that are struggling to get a game in the national league north (through injury or out of form), and keen to get a weekly game for half or a full season. 
Maybe some of Kahwana money mates know some players from the London area lower leagues kicking their heels that could do a job for us for a few months. 
I don’t think there is a lot of cash to throw around but Kahwana wanted a football club ‘toy’ so he knows (hopefully), he has to contribute to the on-field part!!

We tried that last year. Dunc signed a load of defenders no better than what we had. The only one I liked was Kerr, who he proceeded to play as a central midfielder. Other players out of position and not creating chances due to possession football deep in our own half.

The standard of players are only secondary when you have tactics doomed to fail. Every game, we play for a draw. It's boring and a poor use of players.

Duncan the player would be ripping the manager's door off in an earlier time.

Agreed, but that was with Morrison and Gardener (football people) feeding scraps in the way of funding. 
Like it or not it’s Kahwana’s show now and he brings a different (none football) experience. After a decade of decline and going only down using the football experience guys, maybe it’s worth giving Kahwana a try!  What is there to loose??

Who would we want?

7 weeks later and I'm still feeling the same, more so probably.

DF and GB are the last remnants of SG's disastrous decisions still impacting us (football tactics wise).

Get them gone Mr Savage please!!!

Please get this so called manager away from this club. Got us relegated from championship and we continue to under perform in league 1. A full time team in a predominantly part time league!!!!!!!! , we are wining nothing with this overated clown in charge!!!!

[Duke of Inverness]

DF can't even park his car well outside the stadium (Have you seen it? Across 2 spaces and 6 feet from the fence )

So not sure how he manages to tactically 'park the bus' on the pitch every week without fail.

Taxi for DF and GB

[CaleyCiuin]

Duncs is one thing and it seems we are financially stuck with him as it’s too expensive to pay him off and he may come good!!!!! He has an assistant manager / coach ( Gary Bollan) & and goal keeping coach ( Stuart Garden). I hear that Ross Jack from the academy runs the under 18,s now that Ryan Esson is away. What then does Scott Kellagher do ??????? How can the club afford this unnecessary position???? Unless he is doing loads of stuff behind the scenes that no one is aware of!   We are a league 1 club under severe financial pressure, how can we afford the current set up???? And how long can AS continue to pay???? He has been very quiet lately. 

[Starscape]

I would imagine he's first team coach. Probably doing loads of stuff behind the scenes, hence why manager after manager has kept him on.

Unless there's some evidence to the contrary, it's a bit much to ask to sack someone for not explaining his behind the scenes job. Having the assistant manager as the only coach, along with other assistant duties, is hardly the mark of a full-time professional club. Nothing unusual in having a coach, even at League One. Even at League Two!

You seem to know, …… but a manager who I assume coaches ( not much management evidence after relegation during the summer), an assistant manager ( who I assume coaches), again how much management he does isn’t obvious and a third coach ?????? League 1 ????? What else do you think he does behind the scenes ??? If the manager doesn’t coach as you suggest, what else does he do ??? You allude to sacking…….. no one else did!

[IBM]

Looks like he will be here to see out his contract.

C,Mon……. A stenny team full of injuries and depleted bench and we scrape a goalless draw !!!!! Musa  makes a great save to gain a point. Get this manager and his coaching team gone from our club before it’s too late !!!!! Surely everyone can see this ?????

Perfect solution! Knows the players, current CEO, Chairman and Board members abilities. 
Most importantly Cheap. Already has contract for wages, digs and transport. Given the opportunity I’m sure Garry would introduce a more open attacking game. Give him a chance! 

[Duke of Inverness]

I'm going to go off at a tangent here and talk about football.

Bizarre eh?

Since administration is inevitable and we'll be deducted 15 points, is Duncan Donut going to try and win games now?

I’m sure he has been trying…… he is just not very good at getting anything out of this  group of players .

But we have the best defensive record of out any teams in Scotland that have conceded more than us and are unbeaten this season other than the 2 games we lost. If it wasnt for artificial pitches and other teams in this league we would be sitting top. On that basis pretty sure Dunc is happy how things are as he doesnt have any interest in looking at league tables anyways.

 

[+TheCaleyOne]

How long will Ferguson work for no wage and if he goes sooner rather than later, do we have to pay him off?,  and who realistically would become next manager?

[big cherly]

I’m sure AS has Charlie Bhoy already part of the Admin strategy. Keeps him in a role that they may hope Celtic offer some kids! 
Just a thought!
