Have the job until the end of the season....

Makes sense to me.  We have had enough false dawns this season. Good luck to you Three lads, there will be no others who have Alty in there blood more than these lads... Best of luck fellas.

C'mon Alty

Makes perfect sense.

Squad looks a lot more balanced since they have come in.

[Mausoleum Alty]

It's up to them to make a big enough change to keep the job for next season and beyond now. If we play like we did yesterday then we should make a good fist of trying to stay in this league and although it's highly unlikely we'll actually stay up being so far behind we'll hopefully go into next season with a decent squad.

Brings us stability untill the end of the season . Good luck lads

[Sarf London Alty]

The pragmatic decision.

There were signs yesterday, I think you can scrub Macc but we absolutely have to beat Gloucester and/or Gainsborough in the next 2 league games if we are going to go down with a bit of pride. The 5 games after that don't really bear thinking about.

[oneedham]

Brilliant decision. I feel it is too late but that is not the fault of these 3. The team fully fit is now a decent team for this league. We do need a Leather type centre back but a lot more balanced and hopefully we get to see Clee, Newby, Owen and Miller playing together at some point. Good interview by Buzz, straight talking and bluntly honest which this club needs. Just need to get some of these injured players back.

Grahame Rowley said, 'Matt and Robbie came to see me to ask where they stood,

What would have happened if they hadn't come to ask?

We were never looking for a new manager, the board don't trust themselves to appoint another manager. For next season we need a proper new manager appointed by a new board

[GB Alty]

But I have proved I can do the job, because I have brought in five players (Gary Jones, Kyle Brownhill, Nicky Clee, Elliot Newby and Andy Owens and all five were magnificent in the draw at FC United.

Since when did signing players prove anything? One point from three games says a lot more

Incidentally if we had five magnificent players at FCUM how the f**k did we only draw with that sh*t? Hopeless idiot

[roytonmike]

I thought we showed spirit yesterday & do at least look as if there is a system in use. For once I felt able to applaud at the end of the game & congratulate our team on the way they had competed - and thoroughly deserved the point. Let's at least try to be positive; I do sometimes wonder if some people will ever be able to say something encouraging!

[AFC56]

To be fair I think his signings have been pretty good. Jones is a top player and provides much needed leadership, Clee will get back to his old self with games and the others have made a positive impact. We can't blame Buzz for the dire league situation or the fact that our board are a bit useless with the football side of things. I'd much rather have Buzz and Robbie in charge than an outsider. One thing that is clear is that the players are working a lot harder than they were and clearly want to play for him. Couldn't say that about Young or Harvey.

[Matt Taylor]

No real issue giving it them to the end of the season officially. It's here nor there in the scheme of things, and it's not like we've made any effort to look elsewhere.

Get the season finished and then hopefully let a new chairman appoint their own manager in the summer for next season - who should be recruited with an emphasis on getting back into the Conf as quickly as possible, not just back to this sh*t league.

The board won't go.

Incidentally does this mean Graham Heathcote is paying back to the club his £60k pay off that Rowley gave him?

I've posted it elsewhere before but I'm not sure where you are getting 60k from its way out.

If you got made redundant while under contract and had long service  would you take a pay out ? And if you were asked back by the company you left would you give it back?

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

It just shows you how low we have been allowed to fall in that you don't even need to have won a league match to get the Alty job these days!

I know where you are coming from sadly . But I think from a  stability perspective we have little choice

I agree with Matt that we need now to be planning for a new set up to get back to our former glory
