Exactly, employed league 1 managers aren’t dropping to this level. I’ve had a quick think on who realistically we could go for and to be fair it’s not easy. Although we do have someone getting paid handsomely to make these decisions. My shortlist would look something like; Sam Ricketts John Askey John McGreal Pete Wild Daryl McMahon Interview them all, see who’s realistic who’s not and do some proper due diligence. See who’s going to fit in with the short, mid and long term plan. The next appointment will really shape how the ‘Stott project’ goes. I doubt Pete Wild would leave Halifax for us at this point Of course he bloody would.

I doubt Pete Wild would leave Halifax for us at this point Of course he bloody would. Why would he? He’s built a team on a shoestring and has them competing for the playoffs. He’ll want to see that through. I could see him coming in a close season but not right now.

I could see him coming in a close season but not right now. We’re seven games in not 37 - they are only five points better off. He’d have a much better chance of that here. The best time to leave for a bigger job and the only time you’re likely to get offered one is when you’re overachieving. They could get hit by a load of injuries and be lower mid table by this tone next month.

He’d be trying to do it with someone else’s team not the one he’s over a year into building at Halifax. I just don’t see it.

He lost a lot of his best players this summer and they signed a load of Trialists last minute. It’s not some handpicked squad that’s been together for a couple of years. Halifax aren’t some kind of project where they are building and promotion is on the cards. He’s just doing an exceptional job on a shoestring budget as his best players get picked off by full time teams. If we were talking about McMahon at Dagenham or Rowe at Chesterfield then I’d agree with you but Wild would jump at the chance.

I'm not so sure, just because we've got money doesn't make us automatically attractive to someone in a job they're enjoying and you could see how much he was enjoying it Saturday. That's just my take anyway

That's just my take anyway Also, despite what Left put in another thread about us having many options for a replacement, we need to remember that word must get around just like it does in any other jobs market. The football world has seen what happens when Stockport County’s manager clashes with its Director of Football. The football world has also seen what happens when Stockport County’s managers goes along with/is led by its Director of Football. Neither have turned out to be good for the manager in question’s career.

Hi Halifax fan here. Reading all your message boards I get the impression your owner is trying to run your club like one in a lot higher league. Unfortunately at this level having directors of everything doesn't work. It's alright signing players from higher levels but why are they coming apart from money. Pete Wild has total control of recruitment at the Shay and having the budget he has his recruitment is torally different. We look for players who have something to prove released by a big club, player trying to improve their career,coming back from injury. We sometimes get it wrong but more often we get it right and they have gone on to better things. We have to do this as nobody would sign for us just for the wages. Also Pete Wild has an exceptional knowledge of junior and non league football in the North West and we are reaping the rewards of this. Saturday first half we gave you too much respect but when we realised you were beatable we started to play our normal game. To be honest for all the money you've spent I wouldn't want one of your players in our team. How many ex EFL managers have got Clubs into the league in recent years. I dislike Chesterfield intensely but there recruitment of James Rowe was a masterstroke. Hope you beat Wrexham.

If there’s one thing we should learn from the mess we’re currently in, it’s that one hungry player is worth five skilful players

The big difference is expectation, Pete Wild will have time to get things right, our supporters have little patience, even when we were on a great run last season, it wasn’t good enough for many on this board. Pete Wild can quietly go about his business, getting things right over a period of time, Simon Rusk or A.N. Other can’t, the weight of expectation that we go up is a heavy burden, anything less isn’t good enough.

Championship in 7 years and the financial clout to boot. You can’t spend the money we have and be happy at going backwards each and every game.

Other can’t, the weight of expectation that we go up is a heavy burden, anything less isn’t good enough. It all came from the club. Championship in seven years. Throw in a load of L1/2 players and sacking a manager doing a perfectly good job and it’s no wonder there’s expectation. They’ve created this pressure. I’ve said before I’d have been happy with 5-7 years of steady organic growth at this level and promotion at the end of that. But if the club are going to throw big statements around like that, and back then manager massively, then we are going to expect success because they’ve put everything in place to enable it.

Ricky County fans have lots of patience, where we run out is when the club needlessly hits the self destruct button while throwing money at it. If we’d been mid table when this change was made I doubt there’d be anything like the reaction you’re seeing now. Although Simon Rusk’s inflexibility would be raising eyebrows. The club made this mess not the fans stop trying to blame us.
