You're telling me you think that any other ex-pro, people would be looking at someone who did 6 months at Fleetwood Town and going "Yeah, that's the kind of experience we're after. Let's have some of that" Genuinely? Interim It's quite funny how a small handful of people are getting really pissy about this appointment while the vast majority are correctly happy about it. |

Why not try MARTIN O NEILL. He has played and managed at the top successfully. To me he would be head and shoulders above any of the other candidates that I have heard mentioned, and he is not famous for wasting money on players. Id prefer the other MON I don't think that he would return after the way that he was treated by the club after sorting it out. Also Martin is currently unemployed. Both MONs are the calibre of people that we should be looking for, not taking a gamble on a former player with no experience. We have to get the next appointment right. I like Schu, but I honestly don't think that he is up to the job. If I am right then we are going to need someone who is knowledgeable to help appoint our next Manager. One who will be here for at least 5 years and give us stability. All this chopping and changing hasn't worked for any club, as even Watford has shown. |

It's almost like whatever the club do they can't win with some. I've been critical of the board as many have but when they make the right call they deserve the credit aswell. |

I hope he's out on the training pitch tomorrow morning overseeing it, if agreed to by Schumacher. A (very good) career all stemming for commitment and hard work. Coaching the forwards👍. Shouting “Run Maee you fuckwit”. |

I can’t even be arsed to summon a tirade of creative insults towards this absolute plum of a bloke.
Another twat in a long line of twats we’ve had since relegation.

Exactly there is no winning for the club no matter what they do. Whether it's on the pitch or off it. There's some on here that have never posted anything positive at all and never will. Next season we could win promotion with a record points tally and have top goalscorer in the league and some on here would still be moaning about one of our players misplacing a pass in the previous game |

Just getting rid of any type of influence he’s had on anything is a bonus. SJW is interim, he’s passionate and he’ll give it a good go in sure. He’s also got to be super successful if he wants the full
Time job.
But as I said before, it’s about SS being free to do it all his way now. I know some on here fear that, but I welcome it.

I don't see what there is to be negative about, here. It feels to me like the club have (rightly) bulleted Martin, without yet being sure whom his long-term successor is going to be.
So, they 'could' have stuck with Martin until they'd found a replacement - but what if that takes 3 months??
Sacking Martin is the right thing to do. Getting an interim in, is the right thing to do. Making that interim an ex-player who will run through walls for the club, and will be able to lend an ear to the manager from a position in the 'real' football world, is a good PR move at the very least.
Walters isn't here because he pulled up trees at Fleetwood. Simmer down, you haters 😉

I don't understand what the problem is, I really don't! Why should we make yet another hasty decision? Interim is perfect and I think that SJW could well be a breath of fresh air, somebody with genuine passion for the Club and behind the scenes maybe quite a help for SS. Let's just TRY to create an air of positivity. Gawd knows, I've been as moany as a lot on here but I'm glad that a swift decision has been made. We have no time for shiny-shirted chancer types who fancy themselves something rotten , use pretentious gobblydegook language, posing around on the arm of a sofa checking their image in the mirror with a cartoon-esque 'ting' of their teeth as they wink at themselves smugly.Can't imagine who I'm picturing there  Please, don't let me have just described Super Jon when he walks into his office  |

Simon King has transformed our off-the-field antics from a commercial perspective and engagement with the fanbase. I'm not sure I'd be looking to get rid of him. Another shyster from the five pillars of bullshit and part of the toxic culture at the club that is clearly spilling on to the pitch. Just like Martin and Dublin. We are one of the richest clubs in the world so should be able to attract the best people into the best positions. Walters is ok in the interim but we can’t be blinded by his former links to the job. We need to go out and get the absolute best that’s willing to come. If that’s him then fine but does he have the relevant skills and knowledge for such an important post? I've not mentioned anything about Walters; just stating my opinion on what Simon has achieved. Walters for me is a fan appointment to galvanise until the end of the season, and gives us the best possible chance of survival. He's acted as a TD for Fleetwood, so has "some" experience, and we can revisit in the summer. Re Dublin, jury is still out. He's unearthed some gems in Junho, Junior and Burger, but on the whole recruitment has been poor to say the least. Signing 25 players in the summer, whilst needed due to no squad, was never going to end in success. |

I genuinely can't see any negatives.
He'll probably be in charge for 8-9 weeks, and it's possible such a short-term role won't have any meaningful impact at all, in a job that's all about the long-term.
Replacing Martin with a half-eaten bowl of cornflakes is a net positive, and replacing him with someone who'll encourage a bit of feelgood around the club and in the stands is a big net positive.
And Walters comes across as smart and passionate into the bargain.

Will the fuckwit be taking his 5 pillers of wisdom with him? And his cultural architects. In every conceivable performance metric he's has been beyond shit. His jargon busting bollocks was pathetic from day one. He is without a doubt the worst appointment this club made and the worst decision along with allowing Neil to root the club and employee his mates. Onwards and upwards, jargon free |

If Walters is here to essentially be a glorified cheerleader for four months, then there are worse people for the job. We’ll see where we are in the summer. Maybe he excels, clicks with Schumacher and Coates and gets appointed full-time. I’d much rather see him succeed than fail. My general frustration comes from seeing Stoke constantly rip everything up and start again without seemingly having a long-term plan. Hopefully, this is the beginning of that change. |

Help to galvanise everything and everyone together is all his role needs to be for now.
Other players have gone on to do it like Edwin van der sar I think.
After that who knows. As INEOS are doing at Man Utd. Get the best in class for each role

The appointment of SJW must be pointed at the fans and the current mood in the camp rather than him being technically perfect for it. I’d say we take it as a positive

It's all well and good circling the trucks around Martin now, but who appointed him in the first place?
Are we seriously suggesting that a basic investigation into his history at West Ham and Norwich wouldn't have dragged up even the most basic of red flags?
A blagger and a chancer just doesn't sprout out of the ground the minute he walks through the main gates at CW. They are long term 'offenders' that leave their footprint everywhere they go.
Bone idle and expensive mistake riddled ownership strikes again. Just lob some money at a manager and get him to appoint his bessie mate.
Shite.
