Time for a managerial change

[raleighnc]

Actually you clearly like undermining the club so I dont think you care about our success at all.

You don’t think, full stop

Are you porky in disguise?

He'd see three consecutive 0-0s as a positive thing.

Joking aside, lots of positive attributes to KJ. Experience aside, not sure he'd be much different from your current incumbent in terms of characteristics, based on what I've read here. Very much about the percentages and not afraid to freeze out a relatively high-earning striker if he feels it necessary ;-)

But it would be the experience that may make the difference

Sorry @dontpassback had assumed your original post was tongue-in-cheek. I've a lot of time for Jackett as a human being, and his record at Pompey was decent overall. In his second and third seasons he delivered successive play-off campaigns. Without knowing our budget I suspect that was probably in line with our wage bill relative to other clubs in the division, so certainly no failure on that measure - but like lots of clubs expectation is to exceed relative budget. He may have garnered more goodwill had his teams been set up to play a little more on the front foot: aside from the very odd purple patch we were pretty dour and unimaginative, and imo it felt as though we were a team in the image of our manager. That said, he had a very decent record before he came to us and I don't remember any our support being opposed to his appointment - and sometimes it's about the right person, at the right club, at the right time. I wouldn't be surprised to see him make a success of his next appointment wherever he ends up - whether that's in the division above or below us.

I dont see what would be wrong with Paul Sturrock; Much travelled and largely successful. Still only 64, and currently kicking his heels having left Dundee United. Pretty good pedigree, and he's fond of Devon.

Apart from he has retired and is Argiggle through and through............... Make a sensible suggestion Pete.
