We are in exactly the same position as we were 8 years ago. The first sign of trouble with Paul Trollope, issues with the board and the supporters turned on the manager thinking we could do better than what we currently had. We started speculating about better managers who would take us to the next level because our fan base was so amazing at 6/7k at home. So after so much pressure we sacked Trollope and we’re blessed with quality managers such as: Darren Patterson - 2 games, won 0, drawn 0, lost 2. 0% win rate Dave Penney - 13 games, won 2, drawn 2, lost 9. 15.4% win rate Stuart Campbell - 12 games, won 4, drawn 3, lost 5. 33.3% win rate League 2 Paul buckle - 29 games, won 8, drawn 6, lost 15. 27.5% win rate. (Who else remembers being told promotion was too ambitious) Mark McGhee - 45 games, won 12, drawn 12, lost 21. 26.6% win rate John Ward - 69 games, won 24, drew 21, lost 21. 34.7% win rate DC - 231 games, Won 100, drawn 77, lost 77. Win rate 43.3% Now DC is in exactly the same position was Trollope was 8 years ago. However thinks DC should go, what did you watch over the past 8 years that makes you think it would be a good idea to get rid of him? I’m not happy about current results, nobody is, but look at the bigger picture, remember it’s only October, and I love the loyalty this man has shown us. It’s about time we showed him the same, not point the blame the first sign of gunfire. And again not so much on here, but the idiots who know about f all about football on social media need to be called out and we need to start showing a bit of unity I made a similar point just now on another thread but before I'd read yours. Totally agree.

So getting the thread back on track...who would replace DC that is available, we could afford and who would do a better job than DC. I’m amazed all the DC outers haven’t come up with a suggestion yet... We do all the time but nobody listens possible Paul hurst will be out of a job soon he bit off more than he could chew at Ipswich , he did a great job at Shrewsbury with no money Please preserve us from that. Even after promotion large numbers of the Grimsby fans were against Hurst and his style of football. At least D.C. only has a few doubters, Hurst had many, many more at Grimsby before jumping ship. And his stock is very low at Shrewsbury now after taking many of their best players to sit bottom of The Championship. No thanks. UTG!

I would like to think that if the usual cretins were dishing out abuse towards D.C. (abuse, not critisism) then a decent number would of told them to shut the **** up and show the man the respect he deserves.

It'd be ridiculous to sack him but, if they did, feel like Marcus Stewart would walk into it. Half think DC was grooming him as his long-term replacement anyway when he had eyes for the Championship.

So far Steve Cottrell - hates us - caused divisions at his last 2 clubs. Colin Warnock - Under contract at Premier League Cardiff. Paul Hurst - under contract at Championship Ipswich Any more sensible suggestions? 🤔🤦🏼♂️ 1. Steve Cottrell 2. Colin Warnock 3. Paul Hurst 4. Ian Holloway - obviously because of past glories. So outers, your list is dissapointingly small so far, and to be quite honest, crap. I would have thought with all of your football knowledge you would have been inspired on this thread to tell everyone who and why your appointment would be the right one. Maybe the next 24 hours will produce some inspiration.

So posters are saying we can never sack DC, even if he doesn't win another game, because we can't come up with the name of a decent replacement? I bet DC will sleep easier at night hearing this news!!

what about the last 46 games? It’s a fair point. Last 46 games: P46 W12 D15 L19 F46 A55 GD-10 Pts51 Win: 26% Points Attainment: 37% Just about avoiding relegation form. Not good enough, for sure but at this stage would I back DC? Sure I would. Players are playing for him and we have a good squad with the exception at present of the forwards. During that period we have lost Bodin, Harrison and Gaffney and replaced them with Payne, Jakubiak and Reilly. So far they all offer less than those they have replaced which reflects two key points. Firstly we suspect strongly that DC wasn’t backed in either window to adequately replace them and is therefore forced to try to pull rabbits out of hats; secondly that the strikers cannot be properly judged yet at this stage. Periods of transition can be difficult but there is good reason to keep the faith in my opinion.

Imo if he wouldn’t of tinkered with the team so much he would have a better % than that.I would back DC now but come mid December which is around 12 games we should be looking at DC but I hope he can turn this around.UTG
