So, daring to glance at the league table, failure to win next Saturday means we are officially relegated? although it's been a done deal since alfreton away for me. Not sure I can stomach going to see us relegated at a club that shouldn't even be in the same dimension as us, but probably will. What happens now? How attractive is the managers job at Altrincham? I mean are managers at clubs like witton and Trafford who are doing exceptionally well going to be distracted from getting promotion to apply for a job here? Should we be drawing up a shortlist this early or leaving the application process open until the seasonal playoffs are concluded? This is a massive drop, far bigger than dropping from league two to the conference or from the conference to the conference north, it's a whole different game. I really think we need advice and guidance from people that know this level of football for this appointment. If the interim management team are seen as the best candidates then fair enough, but this must be an exhaustive process, we can't knee jerk it like was the case with Neil Young. I'd hope the management team of yesterday's opponents was offered some unofficial encouragement to apply for the job.

I am hoping when it's all confirmed that it will release a pressure valve and allow the club to reflect and fully focus for next season
It's got to be as hard for the players as it has been for the fans
I agree let's look at all possible options and make the right decision based on the process
Next season will need some adjustment (I know a lot will disagree) then build and come back up stronger and wiser
-
Survival is still actually possible, looking at Gainsborough's remaining fixtures. 5 wins might suffice?? Big ask for sure, stranger things have happened.
-
Gainsborough are irrelevant, even if we win all five, Worcester would stay up., Stalybridge and Gainsborough are the most likely to go down.
-
3rd bottom might be good enuf?? Rumours

The players don't give a monkeys as proven countless times throughout this shambolic season.

I can't see it happening but I really hope we can turn draws and narrow defeats into victories regardless to build confidence in the dressing room and on the terraces

I went to the Alfreton game, and said to my mate when we were leading that the damage to morale and the mental outlook of the players would be immense should we lose. We lost.

I assume Worcester are the most likely, to resign, but, even then I think that if a club plays on until the end of the season, the reprieve is determined over the step as a whole, so we would have to overtake Gosport as well as Gainsborough, for example.
It is all academic, anyway, if course. I did hear from a neutral at yesterday's game who expected us to be fighting for every point and was amazed at how spineless we were, until injury time.

even when I played Sunday leauge in whythenshawe the lads hurt if we lost . No one goes out thinking I don't care let's lose this

Where can I get some of what you're on?

Equally there is no bollox on the team that says we're gonna win this, no fight to come from a goal down. No drive, no whatever it is that gets a team motivated. Given the numbers of players we have had this season I'm not surprised there is no obvious team bond.

This is what worries me. Surely no decent manager is going to be daft enough to apply for the managers job at a relegated team in April?! If I was being cynical I'd say it's been done on purpose to aid Matt Doughty and Robbie Lawton's application.

We don't deserve a reprieve. I'd take one all day long as the fall into the Evo Stik is huge.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

Recruiting a manager before the end of the season from hell is madness. Who wants to be associated with this embarrassing relegation?

The witless or the very handsomely paid?

Like us fielding a goalkeeper who isn't carrying an injury?
Any chance of another comeback?!
