Does anyone know whether applicants for football manager jobs have to take a training session as part of the interview, a bit like applicants for teaching jobs have to teach a lesson? Just wondering if we can avoid being bamboozled by badges gained in non-applicable settings again… What difference will it make HH? SW chose Rusk because he ticked a lot if/all the boxes that SW wanted ticking. Those boxes will still be the same, won’t they? Ergo we get Simon Rusk mark II. Unless SW realises he made one almighty balls of replacing the legend that is Jim Gannon with an inexperienced under 23 coach and goes for a completely different managerial profile: experienced with a track record. This would mean handing over more control to the new incumbent. Can you see that happening? Fair point. Although the excuse this week is that the players aren’t doing on the pitch what they’ve practised on the training ground, so having thought about it, it might not make a difference anyway…

If he goes, I'm going to say it'll be Mark Beard as caretaker manager with an eye on giving it him until the end of the season if he does well. Definitely, I'll be shocked if that isn't the case. So an under-23 coach didn’t have the right experience to cope with the County hot seat, so we’re going to try an under-18s coach instead? Oh my days…

Oh my days… It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the reason we’ve been so dire this season is that certain of our players have seen the handsome payoffs that unfavoured players like Bennett and Williams received and fancy a bit of that action too. In which case the closer the next manager is to kindergarten the better, perhaps?

Just cannot see how any manager could survive with a bad performance and a defeat next saturday taking this season and the end of last season into account. Possibly we are worse or as worse than when bogie walked and young got sacked after that telford game. You reach a point rightly or wrongly that there is no coming back from it. Come on mr.challinor resign from pools to save us. oh forgot we cannot give a succesful manager at our level the job. he was shit with us as a player and fouled a guy at grimsby.

Is Rusk still here? Asking for 5 and half thousand friends. As much as I want the announcement, I think we are saddled with him until after the Wrexham game at the very earliest. If we get another home tonking I think that absolutely has to be the end. If it isn’t then I will have serious concerns about Mark Stotts ability to see the wood for the trees. I said over on Twitter ater the Yeovil game, Rusk will probably get between 5 and 10 games to sort it out. Not that I think that is what should happen, I hus think that is what the club will do. They know by now that they have put the wrong man in charge for this stage of the Championship in 7 years plan, but there's a lot of face saving going on, and in some cases, more is being saved than others.

I’m not his biggest fan but Challinor is out of contract at the end of the season and hasn’t been able to negotiate an extension despite talks beginning in the summer. We could defo tempt him here imo

That a poster is talking about Challinor as our next manager despite how it worked out for him at Fylde, or that that could potentially be the course we’re on with Rusk after probably even bigger investment? We’re twice as many points away from third-from-top as we are from third-from-bottom, if you hadn’t noticed…

That goes without saying surely. We shouldn’t be looking over our shoulders at the bottom this season after the mass investment of players. We should be going one better than 3rd at least. Same with whoever else comes in because it means we’re grossly underachieving which is why sticking with Rusk after an abysmal start is ridiculous.

So you’re saying 21st in October after big investment (should that circumstance occur) would be acceptable to you?

No, of course not, but I’d give Challinor chance to fix it, he’s clearly a good manager, gave Jim’s team a pasting, narrowly finished behind Jim’s and Rusk’s team, narrowly beat us in the play off final, got lucky with a red card that should have been, but maybe should have had a pen, narrow margins but did triumph against the rookie PE teacher at second attempt.

Literally the only reason I can think of to keep Rusk for now is the lack of alternatives (other than the obvious, who yes I would obviously welcome back, but it's not happening). Challinor? It's not impossible but would he leave a League team when he's not managed in the league before, as far as I know?
Only for the money, which seems like the managerial equivalent of what we've done with some of the players... albeit managers have a bigger incentive to make things work, as their reputations are more precarious.

Working for a bigger club with better facilities and more resources with much more potential. Challinor would snap our hands off if he was offered this gig imo and may even be holding out for an opportunity like this
