No one said the club was, its some fans that are making him out to be king and in reality its based on very little.

Controversial I know but it was the same with Glen Little.

Hero status that was never earned.

Let’s see what happens.
Or if some have agendas for a certain person to get the job here, continue to laud him and say "he's my choice" with little basis to that argument in comparison to other candidates.

Not taking us up, in the context of who is the right choice is ultimately what we judge them on though isn't it?
Morrell took us closest but some folk on here seem to hate the guy more than Mills.

But Macc had Askey, Lincoln had the Cowleys, Luton had Still. I'd say they were the correct choice.
If they leave after three or four goes then that performance is questionable. Neither completing one makes it more muddy as both were on the right path.

There are a few Morrell haters but there’s no stopping that kind of idiocy; he ultimately wasn’t good enough in the transfer market and it cost him his job after the first bad season. Anyone who loathes him for that should see a doctor.

I agree too, but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on 2 games, many teams have a change in form with a managerial change/temporary change. We inly have to remember last season some saying AD was a breath of fresh air with a more expansive approach in his initial games than that used by DK. I think the difference being GB is proven, vastly experienced and will have seen it all in his time.

It's clear from interviews that the players have immense respect for GB, not sure that was the case with AD.

That is all down to opinions.

You back Askey, and there are reasons why he might be the right guy.

But others - myself included - think last season’s achievement might not be repeatable.

Askey is an experienced NL manager, which immediately sets off alarm bells in my head. Your fear seems to be that any up and coming newbee manager will up sticks at the drop of a hat. Keates and Ricketts supports your theory, but their actions are not guaranteed to be repeated.

Ultimately, choosing a successful manager has a big element of luck.

Furthermore, I agree that GB does not yet deserve cult status but, equally, you seem to want to skim over his proven experience - at a higher level than Askey. We are also playing better football since he took the reins.

Finally, having signed an assistant manager before appointing the manager is unusual and potentially disruptive. But only if the Board appoint the wrong man.

It all points to the board having somebody in mind who Askey knows and has ok'd probably rules out Askey.

This would also suit the theory of the club doing succession planning.
