Staunton should resign

Post by QUAKERMAN2 » Sat Dec 12, 2009 4:14 pm

If he has anything about him, he should hold his hands up , apologise to Raj about conning him about his contacts and knowledge of league 2 football, offer his resignation and let someone who can at least bring some spirit back to the team come in and replace him.Cannot wait for his predictable interview with Ray at 6.15 and see who he blames now.
Lidds and Maddo would do for me until we see who else fancies the job.

My defense for SS is that he hasn't had a transfer window, he's brought in free transfers and loan players or non league. I'm interested in who he brings in throughout January as no doubt he has targets, i just think people on this board are fickle.

It is clear he has lost the dressing room and has poor man management skills. Look at the way Foster has been treated.

It is clear that he does not have an idea of what sort of players are required, and if he indeed has brought in players that are good enough, he isn't getting anything out of them.

You are totally wrong, league 2 is all about free transfers and loan players, with the exception of Notts County virtually every other team is no different to us.He has brought in virtually a full team who are utter garbage and you want to see what he does in the transfer window, absolutely unbelievable post.This guy is probably the worst manager in our history, I firmly believe this.God, 4-0 now, are you still happy to stick with him?

Shall I tell you why its his fault. Hes been told not to start him as it will trigger a clause in his contract, where SS shoulders the blame is that he puts him on the bench knowing it wont trigger the clause.

Its poor man management, from a purely moral point of view its wrong, and sends completely the wrong message.

What good would putting a player who is unable to player on the bench, doesn't send out any message what so ever, League is for free transfers? rightly soo but with the transfer window shut we can only pick players who have not played since last season or players who play part time, hardly players that are going to set the league on fire. I don't get how sacking a manager who i agree is utter s*** but i bet the next manager will again split opinion and in 10 games time the cycle of we hate " " will start aprearing.

Cannot wait for his interview, if the guy does not call it a day he is a disgrace.If he fails to put his notice in, it is surely up to Raj to call him and Richardson in first thing Sunday morning and get them to clear there desks.What damage is Staunton doing to the kids by asking a 17 year old to replace Bower.Terrible manager.

There was nobody else to put on. Unbelievably, to be fair, considering we have about 30 players.

I'm not suggesting Staunton should be sacked as quite obviously the club couldn't afford to do this but I if he walked I really wouldn't mind giving Liddle and Maddison a proper chance.

I'm not saying he should, but if Singh were to get rid of Staunton, the only time to do it would be now. Any new manager would ideally need a few matches before the transfer window opens to assess what needs to be done. Getting rid of him later on would achieve nothing.

The chances are, getting rid of Staunton will achieve very little anyway and it could do more harm than good. If, as people are speculating, he has lost the dressing room then I'm not sure how he's going to take us anywhere.

Im sorry but Staunton isnt going to turn it around, all he has done is set us even futher back, under Todd it was bad enough but atleast we were not getting hammered every week

Staunton has taken us backwards. His signings have, in general, been worse that those Todd brought in.

The club is screwed Paul, simple as that. I dont even care now either, its a shame it didnt die after Chester last season, at least we would have ended on a high....sort of.

im thinking the same thing, its like keeping a 95 yr old who is brain dead on a life support machine - weve lost 1000 fans, who wont come back - the future is bleak, thats for sure

OK pea brain, he probably has nobody else to put in, but he has got to stop playing young kids like Barnes, Riley, Groves etc in a team fighting for there lives, could easily destroy confidence and ruin promising careers.That is my point you clown.

Staunton surely can't take much more of this - he will be embarrassed to be associated with these results. Hopefully in the run up to Christmas he will be thinking about the year ahead and wondering whether he can be bothered with it all. Hopefully he'll decide to call it a day.

Its amazing to think that, given that we were utter shite when he took over, Staunton has somehow managed to make us miles worse.

Haha you're pathetic. But you still didn't answer. Who should have come on? Ashlee Jones maybe? Would that suit you?

Given that Foster is unavailable, Bower was coming back from a long lay off and that we are down to 17-year-olds maybe Staunton shouldn't have sacked off Plummer?
He was lightweight but looked ok I thought.
