It’s very unlikely yesWe are not making the play offs.
5 wins in 8 games?
Can’t see Des being sacked next week if we win on Saturday. If we win on Saturday, we probably only need four more wins to make the play-offs. Make the play offs and he isn’t sacked in the summer. Really if he manages that, he will have proven quite a few people wrong, and will be given a transfer window and a few more months.
So the end is not necessarily nigh.
Probably age, and when you look at the rest of the league they're largely settled at LB. Better options for Championship clubs, wages too high for L2. I think he's looked quite good when he's played.Why Bennett?
Should he be starting ahead of Leigh? And why didn't he have a club when we signed him?
I think there's also a massive part of those decent players being thought of as decent on a reputation from history, which has not matched up with the reality of where they are now recovering from serious injuries.Just looking back I rated it a 3 (although I couldn't find the post window thread).
Other's probably rated it higher because we signed some decent players - Des just has a knack of making decent players shite.
Never a truer word spokenI wouldn’t fancy Des to outfox a piece of carrot cake when it comes to winning games of football.
High there. I think you might still be drunk.Can’t see Des being sacked next week if we win on Saturday. If we win on Saturday, we probably only need four more wins to make the play-offs.

Definitely not as a permanent solution, but he did bring everyone together after Manning left, and it galvanised the fans and players, and while I don’t think it will turn around our season now at this point, I don’t think anything will, but it will at least bring everyone back together again, and hopefully create a bit of harmony and positivity going into the summer, ready for what is gonna have to be a massive rebuild job.Isn't Short part of the problem?
Under him we won but nearly blew a 3 goal lead. Really not sure that would be a good choice.

A new manager bounce could achieve that...
That's a very long shot . . and even less likely if some of the players don't give the new appointment their blessing. Player power has seemingly taken over and we won't achieve anything until those disruptors are either ejected from the squad or put in their place and we have a set of players who know what knuckling down and working as a a team to achieve a goal actually means.A new manager bounce could achieve that...

And this is the truth of it all, sadly. So long as the club has a bean counter as CEO and a more or less absent board, footballing decision making of this magnitude will get postponed. We saw it with Robinson. The mere thought of how the balance sheet will look after sacking one manager and attracting the services of another will have twitchy bottoms running for cover.The chuckle brothers have form when it comes to changing managers. They will do all they can to contemplate their navels for as long as possible, because at this moment in time, what happens on the pitch is an absolute sideshow for them. Getting the stadium PP and construction is the only show in town, whilst moving us to a "more sustainable business" and a universe where we are all "customers" and "fan activations" are sexy is the next biggest priority. Football and on the field entertainment are some way behind that I'm afraid.
I reckon we're in a holding pattern until further notice, especially now safety is guaranteed. I will be surprised if anything happens quickly on the footballing side. And even if it did, would you trust them to make the right decision??
