As I said on the other thread, why don’t you tell the full story? It’s easy to take swipes at people on Twitter for believing rumours when you have a lot more knowledge than the average fan. If you’d rather wait until after a new manager is appointed, that’s fine. |
The “swipe” on Twitter was aimed at the hysteria based on rumours. I saw one person saying they would hand their season card back if Hill got the job, for example. It wasn’t ITK-ism, it was a genuine call for calm until an actual appointment was announced. |  |

Out of the 100 applicants I suspect that a large percentage quite simply weren’t credible.
Has Bentley actually been offered the job? And accepted it?
I’m confused because most posters on here and on social media are taking it as read and yet I’ve seen nothing official? |  | | |

That's clearly not ITK-ism
It might well be that Twitter 'exchanges' (which i don't follow) spill over onto here, or perhaps responses might become slightly skewed because of them - which is probably why i stay clear! I don't envy anyone having inside knowledge and then seeing a position misrepresented but being unable to put the record straight
Keep up the good fight |  |

You'd be ace on Twitter. You'd give kel a run in the "I love arguing" stakes. | |

I love arguing so bloody much that i'd never be off Twitter if i started! Also dislike the idea of "following" anyone, which is what you have to do, apparently | |

Not necessarily. Once the fannys block you can create a new account and not follow anyone to still see them crying. You could do the same with a regular account.
An example would be Andy Mazey who spat his dummy with me ages back so I just nosy at his tweets now for the entertainment of when he’s started on the beer. He’s at it again tonight. |  | | |

Looks like his sacking of Matt Calland has upset more people than he expected. Matt's mates won't let this settle...ever 🤣 |  | | |

28% win record at Morecambe.
Stockdales win record at Dale was 27%.
Not thrilling reading but hopefully a new face and a new voice will help the players. Here's hoping. |
400 games at Morecambe, Stockdale 40 odd so you can't really compare. Broken down I wonder what JB's L2 ratio is. I'm sure TVOS will have the figures. |  | | |

Yes, 28% win ratio BUT a lot of draws in games where Morecambe were probably expected to lose, which is what Dale could do with at the moment . | | | |

If you take out the cups, he only managed Morecambe in League Two.
384 games, 110 wins, 109 draws and 165 defeats.
I think we need to take the expectations and position of Morecambe in the footballing pyramid into account, though, as well as the fact those statistics effectively reset after every 46 games. | |

28% wins from 40 games isn't going to be enough, I think we are going to need 14 x 3, 42 points from wins (35%) plus 10 or more draws to avoid another drop. Not an easy task and not one that can be achieved by a concentration on defending. We have to go out to win home games at all costs. Horses for courses now, win at home draw away has to be the mantra. Two different approaches, two different set-ups. |  | | |

His win percentage/points attained was enough to keep Morecambe up every year. That’s all that matters. |  |

But that's what happened at Morecambe across multiple seasons, where form can fluctuate from one extreme to the other. What's to say it won't be bettered at Dale? And were Morecambe ever relegated under him?
Our best-ever manager, who got us promotion twice, is currently 23rd in the National League.
Your calculations would give us 53 points. Oldham had 38 last season and finished 23rd. Southend went down on 45 the year before, Notts County had 41 in 2018/19, Barnet 46 in 2017/18...
I've gone back to 1996/97 so far and no team with 53 points has ever been relegated. In the time since then, only two teams have been relegated with 50+ points.
You're right with what we need to do in games, but I'm sure Even Bigger Jim knows that. | |

Stats mean f*ck all
We'll see what Jim B can bring to the party in due course. He's got a point (or three) to prove after his experience at Fylde. He comes across like he could easily be stood on the Sandy, after a pre-match bevy. He's got the most motivated fanbase to take with him, and a club that would grant him all he could wish for in terms of the rest of his career if he can produce a football team we all deserve
