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.

Mills was justified being well received though, purely from a fans perspective and not knowing what he was really like.
His teams used to come here and play us off the pitch consistently with great football and he'd been promoted from this league before.
I think too much has happened now to win fans back with just appointing another manager. The trust (no pun intended) is long gone and its rare if not impossible to win back now. I still believe fan ownership at this club is at the beginning of the end and this years antics and revelations have done far too much damage that we can recover from.
