Having witnessed a team performance last night, structured with an obvious plan, full of passion and commitment the challenge has to be thrown out to Marcus Bignot to prepare the 1st team to compete in the same vein. Too many performances have been insipid, lethargic and lacking any evidence of desire, passion or commitment.
So come on now Calum and the academy have galvanised everyone and shown what the club is all about what are you and the 1st team going to do to pick up where they left off?

Another useless manager, when he leaves us I'd be very surprised if he manages at this level or above again

Another useless manager, when he leaves us I'd be very surprised if he manages at this level or above again His 5 years at Solihull would indicate that he can do a very good job, the problem we have is that whoever is in charge now has too many players that shouldn't have been there to begin with and there is little or no budget to do that much about it. We are where we are, all we can do now for the rest of the season is to make sure the club survives and to support the team and manager that we have, it is pointless and counter-productive to do anything else. |

He’s signed 15 players since he took charge. The “blame the players” argument no longer holds water. And never has to fair, how can all of those players all become crap at the same time? Bignot is a massive part of the problem. People seem to have conveniently forgotten that. |

Bignot is a massive part of the problem. People seem to have conveniently forgotten that. So he has signed 15 players since he took over ? how many of them were on loan and how many are on contracts ? because the way I see it is he has had to struggle because our so called board allowed JM to spend all the money. Your argument is flawed for so many reasons and he has not had a real chance, he has had no money and has had to wheel and deal in the loan market because the clowns running the circus have fecked us up and that's why we find ourselfs in this mess. You explain to me why MB has had a real chance and perhaps while your at it have a word with that shower that JM signed on big money and long contracts that cant be assed and how they have let us all down. |

The whole budget was spent before the interviews and all candidates were fully aware of the situation. The requirements were to get the best out of what we had, including getting the most productive team formation. When appointed, Bignot emphasised his role as being results driven and a rise up the league. He has failed. Bringing in 15 new players should not have been part of his brief, particularly as he has a knowledge based almost exclusively in the Midlands. He still hasn’t got a clue in regard to what is the best team formation. Why do players perform far better elsewhere, either before they get here or after they move on? McCarthy allegedly talked a good game, and Bignot seems to be out of the same mold. The swop from McCarthy to Bignot has been a total waste of money. At least if we had kept McCarthy then his payoff would have been saved. That’s how bad the board have been! |

That bit in bold is purely a load of talking out the old ar*e because he's from Birmingham. It's a bit like you saying Jose Mourinho only really has good knowledge of Portuguese players before he joined Chelsea... As for the actual post, i think it's been impossible. You're making out they were all told of the situation at the interview, yet at the meeting last week we were informed Bignot wasn't even told which players were on the 30 game extension contracts, so forgive me for again saying you're speculating what was said in the interviews, given none of us will actually ever know. I'm not saying he's done a good job, but when criticising a man working under near impossible circumstances i do prefer to stick to the facts. Facts are, he's not had the resources to spend any money to replace the dross brought in by JM. I also struggle to blame JM for this mess now given the light of recent weeks. The blame falls on the board, who could and should have removed JM from his role last summer. |

How do you explain farming Waters out to Sutton Coldfield and Crawford to Leek Town both Midlands based? His player recruitment certainly has had Midland slant on it. That dross brought in by McCarthy as you put it were without exception heralded as decent signings at the time they put pen to paper. We can argue the toss on 2yr deals all day. Bignot knew the brief and he hasn't been able to deliver on that and the fact he's gone out and spent more without holding up his side of the bargain to cut costs, get us up the table, engage with the club ethos on community & youth (have listened to some of his interviews when he talks about the young players) and improve what was here already is nobody else's fault, it's his. He's a big part of the problem and not the manager he portrays himself to be and not the right choice to take us into next season, |

I agree with you navajo I do not like the way Bignot talks about our younger players. Makes me think that he does not support our youth system.

I am not claiming anything.I dident say he doesn't support the youth system I said it makes me think he dosent! I was watching the gatesheads post match interview where young Nathan Brown came off the bench and had just made his debut, no doubt a very big moment in his footballing career.Post interview Bignot kept referring to his bench as thin and when asked if he was having to blood the youngsters he said something along the lines of Brown having to work really hard for it. Surely he could have talked more positively about one of our home grown players in front of the press. He have took that moment to a knowledge the good work of the acadamy. And why bring in these young players on loan who are no older or better than our own ! Could have saved some cash playing jones and crawford earlier on in the season. I leads me to wonder if he has any confidence in our acadamy.

Bang on and I am not MB biggest fan but even if GB had got the job do people really seriously think he would have done any better under the circumstance ? because I doubt it. |

And yet McCarthy was allowed to spend the budget by our so called board and waste the SH money and MB has had to do what he can with this squad, a threadbare squad that is sucking the life out of the club money wise and has more sick notes than the dole office. So it must be MB fault then. |

He's a big part of the problem and not the manager he portrays himself to be and not the right choice to take us into next season, So loaning Waters out to Midlands clubs mean that all his links are based in Midlands, not so sure. Everyone knows he didn't know about the 30 game clauses it's common knowledge around the club and most of the fans now, he even said he didn't know himself! I am not disagreeing about him being the wrong man, more so that he's not the MAIN problem. At the end of the day he didn't spend money by himself did he it's all been signed off somewhere along the line by the board. I'd hazard a guess that most of the loans were free, if not all of them. Archer doesn't even seem a bad acquisition from what we did get to see. |
