Everyone is entitled to an opinion but don't just say 'no' ffs, suggest an alternative solution and vigorously back it up with relevant facts and figures, and be prepared for an alternative view which will be backed up just as vigorously. Most of the "no"s have suggested Alan Lord haven't they? I can't decide whether Gannon did badly in his second spell because we had a car crash of a chairman, or whether he's just one of those managers that did well early in their career but "lost it" somewhere along the way – like Iain Dowie, Peter Reid, John Gregory. We're having a bit of an upturn in form which is still quite delicate and not worth making such a wholesale change in case it's the latter. Also we need to have learned from the last time we had a steady manager but replaced him with a more exciting name.

Why would you go back a third time when the first ended badly and the second ended badly. I'm hoping Alans getting his feet under this poor table and his new assistant is making difference.

1.31 and 1.56 aren't really 'close' though, are they? Over a season, it's basically the difference between lower mid table and just outside the play-offs. ok so take a 44 games season 1.31 per game would be 57.64 points and 1.56 per game would be 68.64 points. Again it isn't a proper comparison.

It's a no from me.
Not right now, I think Lordy deserves the chance and I'd rather Gannon came back when we were in a position to utilise his skills with regards to developing players.
At this level, you need some experience and strength. Jim likes younger, more technical players who he can develop. If, in 5 years, we're back in league 2 with a decent financial footing, then I'd like Jim to come back and basically copy what Dario Grady did at Crewe and develop a youth system to be proud of.

What would Sam Allardyces stats look from the Championship to this season? There are probably loads of better analogies out there, but you are talking two completely different divisions. The conf to this pub league is the biggest single jump/drop I have seen in terms of quality on offer.
Lord can therefore not be compared to Jim in terms of results.
At this stage, I would however keep Lord, based on a number of factors, but mainly, stability!

So that's 25% would form a human naked stagecoach complete with horses to usher Jim in the door. Another 25% would toss excrement in the path of the stagecoach to stop the anointing. The others veer from the stability argument or young tracksuit or old non league hand to keep Jim out of the chair. Such a shame that someone with such undoubted ability causes such division.

So basically whatss being said is whatever set of stats you produce there's always a reason why you can't compare JG and Lordy. if Lordy comes out top the JG camp will always say you can't compare.
What a load of b'lux....................
