Sacking

[Head Honcho]

I personally think it was a masterstroke by MM convincing someone to take the reins for the last five games of the season and I doubt we'll see a new manager in place until mid June.

Whether you think NW was the right or wrong choice MM had no option but to act.

Ask yourself what the reaction would have been from the fans if he'd have done nothing and we were relegated. We are still not out of it but doing nothing or asking Stowell to take over just wasn't an option imo.

MM now has about 6 to 8 weeks to get it right. Lets respect his decision and hope he gets it right.

NB Please can we keep this thread on topic as I think we have enough current threads on next manager speculating Cue some twat to name someone!!

Sacking Kelly = correct decision

Hiring Worthington = an OK decision as long as he is not here next season.

[STUHILL]

I think MM got this spot on! Sacking RK at the right time, he gave him enough time and a performance like that against Plymouth just wasn't good enough. It was a good idea to bring 2 new faces in on a temporary basis, just to give the players a kick up the arse. Meanwhile MM can start planning who he wants to be his next manager! MM is a smart cookie in my opinion!

[MC Prussian]

At least a decision was made this week.

Was about bloody time.

[filbertway]

ABout time, hopefully the (inevitable ) honey moon period, will help us through to safety.

[Thracian]

Sacking decision too late.

Cannot see the point in a five-game caretaker.

Nothing particular against Worthington I just don't see him as especially inspiring or astute. I'll like the guy better if he keeps us up though - but not enough to want him as our permanent manager.

I have to agree, but i'm thinking Mandaric see's Wortho as a long term replacement, which if true is a disapointment!!!

I agree, but Mandaric was hoping to keep Kelly until the summer and then booting him out. The problem is, we've been that bad and inept that Mandaric had no choice but to get rid of Kelly now. I can't see how we could of allowed Kelly to continue for the 5 games given the results of late.

I'd have given it to Rudkin/Beadle or Gerry Taggart and concentrated on getting the right man for the job. Worthington is probably a far better manager than the 3 mentioned above, so as long as Milan isn't tempted to give it Nidge full-time then he's done well to get an experienced manager in just for 5 games to keep things ticking over and hopefully secure the points we need to stay up.

[OzFox311]

Can't say I am disappointed in the sacking, we have not shown any of the drive that the side showed when Milan was about to take over and look flat, dull and about as interesting as paint drying on a wall... it had to happen sadly...

As for Wortho, good replacement for now, but long term, I hope Milan is looking for a bigger coach for as much as I reckon Wortho can do a decent job, if we want to make the jump next season, we need to look at a big coach to get us there...

[Thracian]

I don't mind saying Worthington worries me to death even for five games.

[Flynny]

Should have been bought in for the start on the month with 7 to go, if Milan was going to pull the trigger.

Not arsed, really. Wortho's really only marginally better than Kelly, who I wasn't really bothered to see go but isn't QUITE as bad as has been made out.

If the rumours about 'losing the dressing room' are true, though, then he absolutely had to go.

Best leave Academy people untouched because they'd be gone too if they failed to win convincingly.

Its a strange one for me. I cant get my head around why Wortho would come here when he has already turned down loads of Championship clubs apparently. If he wins all our games will MM make it a permanent deal? There is no way he would come here unless he had a chance at being our next permanent manager.

MM should have waited a few days and looked for a permanent appointment because this temporary thing is a nightmare when we should be scouting Europe for potential targets and brokering deals NOW. Instead, we will do bugger all on the transfer front until May and by then many of the players on Bosmans would have signed pre-contract deals and loads of the other "bargains" will have already been approached by other clubs.

It's not Worthington you should be worried about it's the players.

RK is not entirely at fault for the shoite they've been dishing up week in week out.

OK it's his team and it's his responsibility to get them playing as a team but some of the individual performances have been only what can be described as shoite.

If Hughes plays to a decent standard for any of the last 5 games he should be cruxified for putting this teams Championship status on the line because he couldn't be bothered.

Personal differences should not affect your performance on matchday the moron played like a twat against Derby and my opinion is that his attitude was responsible for much of the teams piss poor performance against Plymouth(and yes I know he didn't start the match).

[Wezleylowski]

I think he should have pulled the trigger earlier and appoinnted a permanent manager, because lets face it if worthos only in charge for 5 games what incentive has he got to win them all? if hes only in charge for 5 games then what difference does it make to him whether we win or lose? Not a sausage. Therefore mandy must have offered him the permanent job if he does well, which none of us want remotely so two wins and 3 batterings where the opposition ride us round the pitch is what we need for wortho to fook off at the end of the season and to stay up its a win win situation if that happens

For starters winning them all is not the objective and his incentive is a possible permanent contract and if not maybe a nice little earner at the end of it.

Do you actually think before posting?

A nice big bonus is my guess.

If i was the manager my objective would be winning them all. And that was the point i was trying to make about his incentive being a permanent contract but not many of us want him to have a permanent contract as there are better potions out there.

I worry even more about the players because so few of them have any genuine incentive.

Some like Tiatto would give 100% whatevere but I'm not sure about others and I'm equally unsure we could put a competitive team out where you could argue the players all have any hope of a future with the club.

Basically the long drawn out takeover has put Leicester City deep, deep, deep into the proverbial mire. And almost everything since then seems to have compounded their problems.

[DB11]

I think everything has been the correct decision except for the timing. RK should have gone during the last international break so the manager, NW in this case, had a long time to assess the players. For Norwich, he will basically be picking players that Ian Miller recommends.

Therefore I hope Ian Miller never had a say in picking the team for RK

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

Right decision, and very shrewd of Milan to get a five game caretaker!
