At the time Ipswich appointed him, everyone's favourite, Kieran McKenna,had a managerial CV comprising 3 years U18s and 2-3 years assistant at Man U.
If we were appointing him on that background how many on here would find it an "exciting" appointment, and especially if paired with Mark Ashton?!
That was exactly my point in another thread.

Important game next Sunday at home to Aston Villa

Absolute dire defending, with just 30 seconds to see out before HT.
Yep. Giving the ball away far too often.

2 years or so ago, Ipswich appointed McKenna who very few had heard of outside of Manchester. At the time most of us would have thought that was an uninspiring appointment but he has done well.
So maybe, just maybe it might turn out to be a good appointment, if indeed the rumours are right.

Gavin Marshall just been on HTV news being interviewed.
I'm now thinking it is Frank after watching that!
What did he say to give you that impression?

Well that article makes it sound like an appointment is not imminent.
If there's any truth in it an approach to Oxford will not happen until after their match this weekend. Compensation will have to be agreed before Manning can be spoken to.

You’re clearly not looking in the right places. If you seriously think that 97% of fans are angry about Pearson going then I suspect you’re way off the mark. Most fans have seen it all before. Managers come and go. It’s part of football. Pearson had a good run, and has done some very good work, but at the end of the day, we’re in the same position we were in four seasons ago and have just lost a manager with one of the worst win percentages in the clubs history. I’ve talked to Pearson and I liked him, but it’s hardly a huge surprise that he’s gone. Time to move on.
Well put.

Was it Pearson or the club who were against loan signings, I don’t recall Pearson making a single loan.
TGH is a loan with an option to buy.

Same for whoever gets the gig. We can't afford, or attract, someone who's not a risk. We can minimise through due diligence but it's still going to be a risk.
Every appointment, whether that be manager/coach or player is a risk.

Basically, Redkev, not managing/coaching at championship level. I

I have concerns over Williams despite his previous connection to the club or his record with Notts County.

Genuine question - is it common for other clubs execs/board members/DoFs to do radio interviews after the sacking of a manager (never mind a very popular one)?
That thought had crossed my mind. I don't ever recall any board member/ceo coming on RB after sacking previous managers but circumstances in this instance are a little different.

I've bene considering this possibility.
Coventry are on a run of something like 1 win in 11. Lose tonight and that will be 3 losses in a row. I can't see they getting rid but that's a far worse record than Pearson was on.
I'd personally not want him here but I could potentially see it happen.
I wouldn't rule him out. He spent a great deal of money in the summer and he hasn't been getting the results this season. Loose tonight and he could find himself out of a job in a day or so.

I have supported city for over 70 years and in all that time I cannot recall such being so disappointed at the sacking of a manager.
Thank you, Nige, for all you have done for our club and very good wishes for the future.

Go and support the gas if that's how you feel.

Because this streaming service is getting wirse as the season goes on. Needs lots of emails to them to tell them to get it right, It's pretty obvious nobody monitors it.
Email sent.

Gas on mine as well. Why?

No surprises there.....not that I expected any with our injuries.

Where I do have some sympathy with the Lansdowns is Nige's health. A current as yet undiagnosed neurological condition that is basically making Nige immobile would have to be a consideration if you are thinking about giving him a longer contract. It sounds quite concerning to me.
Football is a ruthless business and, where possible, you do need everyone firing at 100%.
Nige seems unbothered by it, which is a great mentality to have, but I think we have to accept it must be at least a point of consideration for the owners going forward.
So do I but wouldn't you have thought that some discussion has taken place and according to NP no such talks have taken place.

I certainly got that impression listening to his presser.

Good summary. I think the other thing we have to bear in mind is that our squad is very young and largely inexperienced at this level.
