Caldwell out?

[SaintJames]

Don't know what the "process" was by which the current manager was chosen. Whatever it was, it didin't work, and today was just another example of why he needs to be sacked. So, whoever/whatever decided that he was the person for the job needs to look behind the promises and statistics and look in the cold light of day at what we've got.

The process was put in place and overseen by the club's recruitment specialist who if he is still in place masquarades as the club's Chief Executive Officer. Perhaps you could contact him and ask him for a fans Forum to explain the process to us all. I'm sorry to say that as we havent heard anything from him for about six months I have yet again forgotton his name

Don't know what the "process" was by which the current manager was chosen. Whatever it was, it didin't work, and today was just another example of why he needs to be sacked. It's easy to pick on the players, but they're being shoe horned into a system which doesn't suit them, and trying to play football by numbers. In the meantime he stands on the touchline berates not only the officials, but also tries to micro manage the players into playing in the aforementioned style, which they can't do, because it doesn't work at the level at which we find ourselves. So, whoever/whatever decided that he was the person for the job needs to look behind the promises and statistics and look in the cold light of day at what we've got. Examples - talented players who rather than take risks would rather play within the confines and strictures of what has been pre-decided for them. Short corner? It didn't work the first, or the second time, but it continued until the last few minutes where they were gesticulated at NOT to take a short corner. The delightful interplay at the back, with no movement from midfield, slow build up, and nothing to be gained from the crosses that were fed into box - because we haven't got the striker that somehow we can't attract - are the current fare, and it isn't working.
Meanwhile we are adrift because we are in between elections to a Trust Board who have appointed a Club Board which seems bereft of anyone with any footballl experience or knowledge.
I'm writing this after today's game against one of the poorest sides that I've seen at SJP this season (and there have been several). To say that I was bored, would be a mild understatement - and as a spectacle it was up there with watching paint dry - hapless talented players being subjected to slow torture by a system that lacks drive and energy, and is surely destined to bring relegation - all to prove the point that the aforementioned process was the correct way to select a manager, and thius prove those reponsible weren't wrong.
I'm inclined to quote Oliver Cromwell “Consider That Ye May Be Wrong.”

CEO sits 2 rows back from Dr D - maybe CEO could pop down before next game ?

3 wins in the last 21 league games!

It’s very simple - time to go. Good speaker/bloke, awful manager. Clean break no hard feelings and let’s get someone in to save our third division status. Shouldn’t even be a debate

Please can someone who is Gary Caldwell IN explain why you think he’s the right man for the job right now and also the right man to take this club forward?

I agree with you all that he is a bad manager and the football is boring. But I am Caldwell in (barely) till the end of the season when the board need an honest review on whether he is the right man for the job, where they are not afraid admit if hiring him was a mistake.
I think we will stay up under Caldwell and it is more important to invest in the squad at the present.

Why wait until we are relegated? Now is the time.

Please Caldwell, stop ruining the club that I love. For the love of God, just go.
