When you think of the recent appointments we have covered every option (I think). I would like a manager like John Neal when he first took over but tell me who would meet that criteria and would "we fans" ever give someone the time to develop.
I think that's a fair point - Who would be popular? I seem to remember Ricketts and Mills were well received here, and we all know how the latter panned out.

I think the point I was making was that appointing Keates was probably one of the most unpopular decisions we could have. To most fans he was a known quantity, boring football and he walked out on us at a vital time in the season (and the season then fell to bits.)

I think getting rid would go a long way towards winning some fans back over, and appointing someone that is a breath of fresh air. I go back to Ricketts, he came across as just that.
