Gutted for Robbie Stockdale. Really wanted him to succeed,was breath off fresh air. Perhaps that's where he went wrong, to nice in a ruthless industry. Wish him all the best and respect to the board ,a baptism of fire.. Jim McNulty for me. He's been working towards this opportunity for a while, knows the club , players. and can hopefully get a response from most of current squad. Promoting from within as seen a response in resent time's ( Hilly. BBm ) appointing a more experienced manager he would want to rip it up and start again. | | | |

Firing people is one of the great tests of a Manager or Director. I have worked at companies where firing a colleague was almost a required event. Its a statement of power and in this case a statement to the whole club.... perform or be sacked, no passengers, be they players or office staff, either everyone puts their shoulder to the wheel now or expect the inevitable.
If this club gets relegated again, it will be the end of the road. we are simply not set up to be a non-league team , the local population won't support it and without local support, its over. |
Marked down as I disagree.
The 5th tier is not ideal but would not be a complete disaster or the nail in the coffin of the club.
Lets hope it doesn't come to that. This appointment the board have to get right. Heaps of pressure to do that. 3rd bottom if offered now i would snap the persons hand off and that when we are one win from 5th bottom. | | | |

Don't think so. Hammell is manager at Motherwell. | | | |

I’m sorry, i’m going to have to pick you up on your last paragraph, what a shocking thing to post. The club is ours, we own the stadium, whatever makes you think that we couldn’t continue in the non league. Which other club has been relegated never to be seen again? The loyal fans will always be there irrespective of what league we play in. We have no divine right to be a EFL club and relegation to the National League is something a lot of clubs have to deal with...usually they are financial basketcases so also have that to contend with. If we have to compete in the National League then we will have deserved it, we will have to look at fighting back, not just throw the towel in. |
Excellent post Talking Sutty.
Lets hope it does not come to that. | | | |

Alexander went after Motherwell was beaten by Sligo in Europe.
I must admit, I forgot about David Artell and Jim Bentley, but Alexander win record his better, I think. | | | |

Though I ultimately agree with the decision that's a pretty poor and brief statement from the board. | | | |

Agree, they could have added a bit of praise and thanks for his efforts at the club.
I am amazed they have not announced the caretaker manager, because they will no doubt head down to Swindon tomorrow. | | | |

I expect Hill to return but I'd like to see Artell get the job. I'm not keen on Alexander who has had a number of managerial jobs now and his next one could be his last. It's a shame about Stockdale but his dismissal is understandable. Good Luck to you and whoever gets the job. | | | |

“I expect Hill to return“
What are you basing that on? |  | | |

Robbie was a breath of fresh air after Hill and BBM. Excepting the final interview where he looked under huge pressure, his match analysis always left me thinking he had been watching the same game as me.
However looking from the outside in there are certain aspects of his tenure that have left me puzzled. Does anyone have an understanding of Charmans underutilisation for instance.?
However the most puzzling aspect for me was the apparent apathy in terms of workrate at Gillingham. A new season, second game in, peak of condition, fighting for game time in a new squad and you are not giving your all in a professional game. Something not right there. I hope certain players where able to look him in the eye when he said his goodbyes. One thing I am confident of is that if Henderson ever does get the job, he for certain won,t tolerate complacency.
I found the terse statement from the club a bit odd also. Perhaps Robbie or Shan did,nt take it to well. I wish you well Robbie and thank you for your honesty and commitment.

I think by the Stevenage post match interview - he knew.
The responses in it were such a p*ss take, it was like he was having a swipe at criticisms levelled at him and the team. Unfortunately for Robbie - we just haven’t been competitive.
I didn’t think we’ve have nothing from 4 - but I do think the fixtures have given us a pig of a start. 2 relegated sides, a promoted team and in Stevenage, a surprise early form team. A Carlisle, Crawley or Hartlepool early on would have been lovely - and might have seen him spared a bit longer, and got some confidence flowing.
As for the new man who knows - But I expect we’ll ask those we interview to give a presentation, and I have a suggested slide for all applicants - I PROMISE TO SIGN A LEFT BACK
Roll on Crawley | | | |

If the new manager wants to play four at the back he’ll have sign a right back as well as a left back. | | | |

Not necessarily. We’d need to see if Seriki can play the role and then there’s the option of Keohane there and John at left back. |  |

While it would be disastrous to be relegated, why would it be the end? It’s accepted we are reasonably well run and don’t spend beyond our means. Look at Halifax, they exist at that level in crowds that are nothing special.
Then there are other non-league sides without anywhere near the traditional fan base. One look at teams at those levels illustrates this.
What’s it the end of? |
Re Halifax they went bust, it’s a new club, so that blows that point out of the water, oh Chester and Darlington also Scarborough and Ruston all went bust after relegation | | | |

Yes they did but the point is they exist again now with the gates detailed previously. It wasn’t the end, they carried on. Of course some clubs will fall by the wayside, but so many more don’t in non-league, why would fans of a club that proudly boasts it has never gone into admin, always cuts its cloth accordingly would suddenly have to say it’ll be the end if we are relegated? | |

If we had played 4 and won 4 I suspect nobody would be talking about promotion.
But we've lost 4 so relegation is apparently nailed on!
God, I love Rochdale and its nuances! |  |

Lets go all out and get a real manager.... Sean Dyche would cost good money but would be worth it. |  | | |

Have I logged onto the Beardy board? Reminds me of the time one of them wanted the Real Madrid assistant as their new manager. [Post edited 19 Aug 2022 6:42]

I think he may have got, at the very least, more of a grace period if he’d just tried to be a bit more flexible and pragmatic when it came to line-ups and formations. He would have looked more capable of trying to find a solution. A bit more proactive.
In the absence of that, fans and the board ended up rightly reaching the conclusion that nothing’s going to change here. It’s just going to be more of the same. [Post edited 19 Aug 2022 7:42]
