McDermott Appointed

[No Fixed Abode]

crazy if he;s appointed.

[Avon Royal]

He won't get appointed.

Luckily we haven't let all the real managers that were available sign for other clubs.

Oh.

[royal_cornwall]

The 2 wins he's had have been FA cup against prem teams on tv ...no motivation skills needed to get the players up for the games...Hasnt managed to do in the league

still not convinced....................yet

our cup record since 1927 might suggest its not quite the motivational masterpiece you claim it to be........

Different set of players
Tons moreTv coverage putting spotlight on the players with the hope of a move to a bigger club

hmmm.. yeah i think just those two alone are good motivational tools.

[Comfortably Numb]

think hobnob should put an application together, and we can decide the team each week with a poll

[Sarah Star]

I thought the view used to be that we were always worse when the cameras were on us.

look at irvine and the job he is doing at sheff wed, we have missed out there IMO

[Wycombe Royal]

He is still in the "honeymoon" period and hasn't had to face any of the so called "big" teams in this division. Two good away wins though.

Not enough evidence to say we have missed out.

would his spell at PNE a very similar club to us not suggest he's a decent championship manager?

I have to say that despite remaining unconvinced about Howard's performances, that is just about the most open and honest set of comments anyone's made this season! Brian H for player-manager...!

[brendywendy]

[Focher]

"it was important to give him this opportunity and he has taken it with both hands"



Nevertheless, he in charge and he has my full support, good luck Brian.
