Crowds will dwindle from now on so I agree. Not sure how we would do it though, I think most of the players we have left are on contracts.

Give the managers job to MD until the end of the season. Use  the time to clearly identify a manager and get him in straight after the final game of the season.

I disagree with appointing MD until the end of the season. I think we need to identify a manager we want and get him in place ASAP so he has plenty of time to start making plans for next season.

I don't think a manager with the credentials we need would come to us now and get relegated .

If the board are honest enough to say to a new manager that you're building for next season then I reckon they'll be a few hungry managers with the correct credentials prepared to come and start building a team to win promotion next season and kick on from there.

We could do a lot worse than offer Gary Jones the role of player/manager.

This.

[robininstockport]

Agreed cut what we can.

Are all 3 of the management taking a wage?

Hanngans on a 2 year contract but how thats works when we go down a level i dont know.

I try to keep Patterson Richman Miller Clee Wilkinson and Reeves.  As they would be taking a huge loss in wages i cant see any staying.

Theres no doubt well be the biggest club in divison with i would imagine with the biggest budget.  Attracking players shouldnt be a problem.  Knowing which ones might be

[Ashley Alty]

Has Jones got coaching badges?  Experience?  Why him?

[Ginrail]

Worse I have seen a Moss Lane perform in 35 years. School boy errors, none of the defense are good enough. Only Jones gave 100%.

The board will love to sit and do nothing until the end of the season we  need a manager now!

Dont let them escape

I'm not sure we'd have the biggest budget tbh
Stafford and Hednesford are similar sized clubs plus Scarborough and Rushden if they come up and Shaw Ln are throwing money about.

If the only way to keep Jones is to give the player/manager role then do it

How many mangers out of work now would want this job firstly and are what we're looking for? You can argue for one to come in now to rebuild for next year but no manager wants (what is almost certainly) a guaranteed relegation on their CV

[distancetraveller]

Lots of folk thought Harvey was the real deal, and Young for that matter.
Whoever the next guy is, the board will have to be 100% sure he is the right choice AND to make sure that he has sufficient funding to carryout the task.

Get those blokes who want to invest in the club on board ASP and get them on the board ffs

Why? His ball playign today was insulting.

McWilliams has been consistent and better at defending than Paterson. I would keep Paterson as a squad player but majority of their attacks today came down their left. I thought the new lad Brownhill did OK.
Our biggest mistake was not keeping Havern and Leather for this season.
We need a player like Wilkinson for his vision and passing but he needs a Jones's engine.
Lawrie can seriously do one. Most of energy is put into fouling. Too many games he disappears for my liking.
I would keep Deasy, Paterson, Moult, Richman, Densmore ( if fit) Hannigan, Wilkinson  ( if he works harder), McWilliams, Miller, Clee and I need to see more of Brownhill.

[robininstockport]

Yes id keep mcwilliams.

[AFC56]

Brownhill did well for his first game, how he was taken off but Lawrie stayed on I don't know. McWilliams is too weak for me, and ive never seen him deliver a good ball into the box.

[Alty Bri]

I think Deasy, Wilkinson and Clee will stay. Hopefully Jones will be given a coaching role. Would love for Hannigan and Miller to stay too, but just can't see it. That's about it for me.
