The ownership, management and whole club needs an overhaul - the loan system is the least of our worries.

I would think the longer a prospective new manager spends talking to Ankersen and Semmens the more alarm bells would ring. Maybe he was put off by those two.

Let's hope you won't be disappointed by who we appoint instead and also hope Jessie Marsch doesn't pitch up somewhere else and do a good job.

But again, would he take a short term contract? It's all well and good trying to avoid further pay-outs if a manager comes in and it doesn't work out but we are now making things difficult for us to protect us from another Ankersen screw up. It's a case of once bitten and means no reasonable candidates are likely to be interested so Selles gets the gig until the end of the season by default. It's not the way to run a football club.

He's probably on Ankersen's radar.

I dread to think what the ridiculous appointment of Nathan Jones has cost the club in terms of money and credibility. It was such a bonkers appointment you really have to wonder what level of intelligence are the people presiding over this shit show. Mind boggling. To think Ankersen makes money as an author of clever, high-brow books.

Will be interesting to see who Selles picks and how he sets the team up. Hopefully no Janny B!

Would any of them take a short term contract? I doubt it. SR have pretty much laid their cards on the table in that they won't be offering anything other than a short term contract. My guess is that counts out anyone of note so Selles gets the job until the end of the season. If that goes really badly SR will just be seen to be adding fuel to the inferno.

Do caretaker managers get a bounce?

I really wanted to see Jessie Marsch given a chance. It will be interesting to see where he ends up next and how he does.

As someone else said surely he'll need some other coaches to work with him?

There's a long queue I'm afraid.

The whole thing smacks of loonatics being in charge of the asylum.

Yeah plus Ankersen can't afford to waste any more of Dragan's hard earned - pigs need feeding you know.

Well if it's 3 losses it'll mean we've been knocked out of the FA Cup at home to Grimsby.

Those two would be enough to send most sane people running to the hills. Probably explains why we ended up with Mad Nate.

Those three are probably right back in the frame though not sure any of them would take a short term contract.

I think we'll end up with someone far less able than Jessie Marsch as, once again, the board and owners demonstrate new levels of incompetence.

What like they had someone they'd tracked and wanted like Nathan Jones?

It's commonly known as Ankersen.

Maybe just get the letter S removed.

Having seen how they perform at fan's forums I imagine fairly lengthy talks with Ankersen and Semmens would be enough to put anyone off joining this basket case of a football club.

More likely Roy Hodgson.

If he keeps us up he'll have done something extraordinary so I don't think we'd be keeping him out of duty it would be on merit.

We're not getting Potter. If he's sacked by Chelsea he's hardly likely to swap that for a relegation battle at a club that has been completely mismanaged by the board/owners.
