Next manager and reasons why... 17:17 - Aug 18 with 80421 views | Sheffield_dale | Shame it didn't work for Robbie. IMO he didn't get the team prepared for the season and unfortunately deserves to go. I can understand what he wanted to achieve with the formation but didn't coach them well enough/quick enough to put it into action. We would be too far adrift before things clicked into place. So, who do we want next. I'll throw in a suggestion. Dave Artell. Steadily built up a Crewe team on a low budget and got promoted. Not perfect by any means but he would be within our budget and has decent L2 experience and success. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Next manager and reasons why... on 17:58 - Aug 26 by Quigley_dale | Yes, but we was in the league above, with higher objectives than merely avoiding a relegation battle. |
And we almost reached those objectives after a slow start, because we had talent in the squad. I desperately want to be wrong and will happily admit that if I am but I just don't see a lot in the current one. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Next manager and reasons why... on 19:15 - Aug 26 with 2891 views | 442Dale | Probably not the number one choice of many fans but we need a manager who can come in and get results. Positives are he did pretty well at Morecambe keeping them in the league so he knows how to do that on a budget. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

It's statistically nonsensical to extrapolate across so many games when a new cycle of matches starts after every 46. | ![](/images/avatars/1107.gif) |

Not totally sure about the stats either. When did he have a second spell as Morecambe manager? Have to admit I’m only going off Wikipedia info but points gained from all his 434 games on there would have meant a 46 game average of 52… when rounding up! Of course, some of those will have been cup games. So obviously we are staying up and having a run to the third round of the FA Cup. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

Exactly! Pulling data from Wikipedia with little context to the state of the club at the time/crossover in season, produces results which don't exactly paint an accurate picture of the time in question. I know this because, out of interest, I looked at Keith Hill earlier due to another thread and it would be very easy to assess the data and suggest he should get the job. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Come on, Chris, share what you know. Were Askey and Artell approached and turned us down? | ![](/images/avatars/1182.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
