Can't say I'm gutted he's gone, but I'm not exactly jumping through hoops either. His managerial record was atrocious but like others have said, results have improved recently and it would have made more sense if he was sacked before the Carlisle game.
I'm extremely worried that our board don't have what it takes to get the next appointment right. Steve Lansdown, admittedly as owner rather than board member, has a track record that's worse than SO'D's at BCFC! Realistically, there is no manager who I think we could appoint that makes me think 'yes, this a great appointment'. Some of the names being banded about are just dismal - Warnock, Di Canio, Wilson... I mean, do people really think these guys are right for this club long term? We've fallen so far that we are only going to attract managers on their way out of the game or unproven ones.
O'Driscoll didn't work out, and I've felt for a few weeks we were going down with him in charge, but who next? I feel like we're repeating the same cycle every 12 months and now we're relying on a new guy hitting the ground running and the board making the correct decision. I'm sick of it.
