The interview seemed honest and realistic basically. FFP is a ridiculous in the way that it hampers club's from investing but it is what it is and it effects the vast majority of the competition equally. I've said it before but I'll say it again, his time as manager here has been unspectacular to put it politely, other than the first season. My personal preference is a change in Coach but, given it's clear he's going nowhere, the best we have right now is the hope he can learn from his mistakes and improve.. quickly! He simply has to become better at in-game management and learn to out-think the opposing manager and make more reliable transfer decisions.

The lack of energy is the most concerning for me the very best all exude energy and drive which transmits in the way their teams play.

Agreed Tactics, formations, personnel, in Game changes, transfers and so on all are secondary to speeding up our play in home matches - away from home playing a controlling game makes more sense generally - Too many turgid home matches, play faster and further up the pitch, forward pass (pass not aimless hoof) and we would win lots more and shhot up the table very frustrating that we rarely do this

Most people have an idea of what he should be doing, but he’s proven over and over that he can’t. He doesn’t know how to and it looks like he stopped learning decades ago.

Serious question - Why are you happy that MON is still manager of our football club? Stability Yep, that's what puts fire into bellies and gives people purpose, release and hope during the most testing times in living memory. Fucking stability. Can't wait. I think I'd rather get my kicks doing something else ta.

Less than 15k thats tells you fans are pissed off with whats on offer. Pity the Coates family cannot see the writing on the wall. I have a very good friend who’s had dealings with them and believe me it’s hilariously funny especially with the idiot son in charge, Nixon alluded to something along the same lines last week. Only one way this will turn out Part of the problem. Always have been, always will be

The fans always talk in the end. Anyway, why do you like supporting a club lacking in ambition with a dull manager? Are you equally unambitious and mediocre in your everyday life? As I’ve told you many a time I live in the real world not a fantasy one after 50 years of supporting the club You seem a bit dull, no wonder you like this manager. Exhibit A: last week you classed a two point gain from last season as 'progress'. Absolutely laughable

Why didn't you go the whole hog and tell him to fuck off up The Vale. The acceptance of mediocrity in our fan base is unbelievable. He had a good spell when he came in and that was it. His brain farts started during the first lockdown with bizarre team selections. It has been subsequently been compounded by two seasons of putrid, pedestrian football while he's hid behind FFP and injuries despite having resources and a squad better than most in the division. In short expect more of the same. We have a golden opportunity with so many players leaving for a fresh start . A new man with new ideas. Yet we'll get more of the same overseen by a board who have learnt nothing and are fast asleep. 'The acceptance of mediocrity in our fan base is unbelievable.' As is their willingness to gloat over a lame duck of a manager remaining in situ. It's almost like supporting a boring club and beige team is a badge of honour. It's very odd.

Mon is lucky too still be in a job after the 2nd half of the season.. two other managers lost their jobs finishing higher up in the table.. I can’t see anything changing no matter who he buys.. the only way I see anything changing if he decides too change his tactics which I think he’s too stubborn too do.. he’s relied on a good starts.. so god help him if he has his first bad start

Just about every other team team have to deal with FFP in our league and still manage to build fast flowing football. Take the at off semi final last night, I can't imagine a MON team producing anything like the entertainment and slick football. Recruitment yes is important, but having the tactical nous to implement positivity and change is also. Another season of mediocrity awaits I fear.

People shouldn’t put up with this crap. He would have been sacked at any other club. Again the owners are asleep at the wheel and this time we have Godfrey leading the charge from the managers seat.

Without the good start we could have been in a bit of trouble. Things have a habit of conspiring against you and you get sucked in. We need to hit the ground running and build momentum but he’s got a lot of rebuilding to do. I haven’t seen anything in the last to years to suggest he’s capable of doing it. The last influx of players seemed to make us worse and his recruitment has been very hit and miss at best.

I’m at the stage I was with Scholes now in that it annoys me looking at his face and when he opens his mouth it’s absolute bull shit, amazing he actually believes himself.
So we’re contempt in playing atrocious football 90% of the time, providing funds for players then letting them go out on loan or dropping them completely.
The rot set in last year and we’re happy to let it remain

Lower mid table stability with no hope of anything better. Theres plenty of hope with Souttar and Powell back next season and hopefully a few decent players coming in,keep the faith. How the hell some of you lot would have gone on in the 80’s with some of the shit on show🤔 Many beers before the match tended to help, plus the edginess on the terraces, all seater stadia just adds to the boredom when the football is dour

Recruitment yes is important, but having the tactical nous to implement positivity and change is also. Another season of mediocrity awaits I fear. While I agree with the sentiment, it is of course exactly how we did play away at Forest and but for a very late injury time goal would have beaten then in the middle of their great run and form. So it is in us, just not brought to the surface often enough.

I genuinely can't remember the last time I heard him speak. I've successfully avoided press conferences and interviews for a fair few months at least because he was grating on me so much.
Can't wait for another season of mediocrity.

Godfrey is actually how it feels amusing clean and spot on , assuming you’ve not done a Vardy and trademarked it I’ll be borrowing that one 👍, our only hope is he can transform into Tom Hank’s in saving private Ryan

It's a very similar mentality to being unable to win for fear of losing.

As my old granny used to say "Don't come running to me when you break your leg"
