Selles out

[YorkshireRoyal99]

What about Michael Gilkes potentially? Allows Hunt to continue with the U23's as such, Leigertwood with the U18's and Bowen in his role. I don't really know how much involvement Gilkes had in Ince's interim, but maybe someone that allows our current coaches to stay in their roles and develop that way. Only an alternative option I think though.

Interesting suggestion - it's usually Hunt or Bowen that get put forward but there could be someone else already on the payroll who would like a crack at the first team manager position. Gilkes isn't very animated - I'd recommend Peter Scott personally, very vocal.

Kingsley could do a better job than Selles.

Job swap?

Paunovic sacked himself for the good of the club, Selles would do well to follow his lead.

Actually it is a bit of a surprise that Kingsley hasn’t been given a go at LB. It seems everyone else has had a go.

Not sure a job swap would work as Selles would probably keep tripping over in the costume.

Very interesting read

The rumours at the time was that Dai and Pang refused to accept his resignation at first and he could have gone weeks earlier. But he hasn't confirmed that.

That figures, look at the idiot length of time Stam was left in charge too, then Ince. While you applaud their loyalty to giving managers time, you have to wonder why it's the same ****** mistakes being made over and over and no sign of learning anything. Thank god Dai is hopefully on the way out soon otherwise Selles could get several years here!

[Royalwaster]

Yeah we've got to be the most tolerant club of failure in the world!

[Stranded]

Joy of having an essentially absent owner.

They'd have to admit they made a mistake appointing them to sack anyone.

Dai doesn't make mistakes.

Assume we are all selles in after tonight

Shame on you lot

[Snowflake Royal]

He can job swap with Hunt if he begs.

Agree, too much negativity on here fir someone trying their best in difficult circumstances

[Dennis the Butler]

If Selles is doing the best he can under very trying circumstances here what was his excuse at Southampton ?

[blythspartan]

I think IR eluded to this on the Arsenal thread. Our youngsters with a sprinkling of experience look like world beaters playing other teams U21s because they’ve had some league experience. However, that scenario is reversed when we play experienced League One teams.

I believe another manager with plenty of lower league experience should be able to get us winning enough games to survive this season, but I expect any change will be made too late.

I do think that this group of players with another year of league experience have the potential to become very good. That was obviously the aim of Bowen and co when they assembled the squad. I just hope we can get rid of Selles sooner rather than later.

Question is, if ownership and management change happens too late, could the new regime keep the core of the team together in L2? You'd expect an instant return if so, but I can't imagine the likes of Smith and Wing wanting to fall to that level. But let's say we actually look good from late Feb or so, it may be a heroic failure from the new regime that convinces them it's worth hanging about for a couple of years.

Obviously if we fall to L2 with the current regime in place it's an utter disaster.
