THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Who is to say lewington could not be our manager with a good number two, it would a first job for him , a gamble , but he would tick all the boxes as regards identity and he gets the club inside out , what a story for the papers if we gave him the job and got in his dad as the number two.

A possible alternative, would be to keep Robbie but make Dean the Assistant Manager, to bring the passion and identity back.

We already have an assistant manager.

Do we even know if Lewington wants to move into coaching/management?

And yet our fans are sponsoring 3 players this season (via the FB forum).
Also the aged cynic in me suspects that a good run of winning might provide a Damascian conversion to a lot of the RN out crowd, especially those most vocal on social media.

I suspect a large percentage of our fanbase couldn’t even name him let alone the first team coach under him!

That’s a clear indication of the “disconnect” talked about on another thread.

I feel we’re very much a stepping stone for Robbie and his team and so, with that in mind, I don’t think he can afford to get this wrong over the longer term. I’m sure it will improve, the football might not, but then if it gets us back to The Championship then I think D50 & myself will be lone voices expressing our displeasure.

Let’s face it too, the moment he does have any success with us, there’s absolutely no chance he’ll remain loyal in the way his predecessor did. That’s fair enough, and I’m sure Pete went into this appointment with open eyes, but it does also hint at another reason why he’s perceived as not being quite right for us, aside from the meat & potato’s football we’re being served up.

Sorry Bill, but I can't believe you meant what you said! Football is based upon results, our existence depends upon results! Top clubs don't spend millions on players because they are good at socializing or whatever, they buy them to help get better results.

Stevie Crawford. I win!

Mate if we play crap football but get stuck in with tackles and are generally hprrible ladybits to play against grabbing 2-1's and getting yellow cards galore and the players all have filthy kits then great. I won't complain. Even better if we have that and RN and the players give us a clap and build up a relationship with the fans it'd be fine. It just seems stale and dusty. Like it's completely fucking beige mate.

I meant the fans feeling of dissatisfaction, even if the results were better, I think people would still feel disconnected and unhappy with the direction in which the club seems to be lurching. There would be less calls for RN to go, but there would still be the feeling that something isn't right.
