Someone mentioned Gareth Ainsworth being a possibility. Sadly that seems like it'd be the reality of the situation. We'd 100% be down and out if that happened. Nightmare inducing stuff.

Without knowing who mentioned it, I can tell you that someone is a fucking moron.

Indentured servitude finished in the 19th century..... The employee can break an employment contract at their will without penalty. The difference is if you walk you get no comp, if youre sacked your contract is paid up.

It depends on the contract.

I wouldn't call a multi-million pound football manager contract as indentured servitude.

JDT can't win.

He quits, he gets labelled a quitter, heart not in it, not up to a scrap etc.

He stays, whether out of loyalty to the players/fans/GB/"the project" or whatever, he cannot achieve his aim because he has insufficient support or tools for the job.

F'in shambles, this club is a circus.

Wasn’t Ainsworth interviewed before JDT got the job?

He’s out of work, so will be cheap for Venkys.

Although he’s one of us, it would be a terrible appointment.

Appreciate the kind words 😉 

Like I said above, it would be a terrible appointment 👍🏻

Balaji signed Owen Coyle 😄

When Neil Warnock had agreed to the role.

Got to be one of the worst decisions ever made in football.

[rog of the rovers]

I’ve always been a huge JDT and remain a fan of him as a person, what he achieved last season and this season until December has been more than commendable.

I also buy all the issues off the pitch, the loss of talented players and the general circus of Venkys ownership of which were all very much looking forward to ending.

However, the naivety of tactics, the insistence on playing his brand of football and the general malaise of performances have been alarming for a couple of months now. I always feel in football that if you give players an inch they’ll take a mile. The manager has obviously fallen out with some of the stronger personalities (see Travis) and I’m beginning to wonder whether he’s the right man for the battle?
 

Give me a scrappy 1-0 at this stage or even a 0-0. The defence has been awful all season and shows absolutely no sign of improvement 30+ games in. 
 

A fine manager, a decent person. But right man for the job? I’m starting to think not?!

Had his family not moved over here then he may well have walked.

After calling the owners out publicly and being as honest as he was in that interview the club will find his compensation this week.He will get sacked

And when he is, if it gets no better there can be no excuses from the usual places.

It's a shame it wasn't the summer he departed if he is to depart this week as the poor results and performances of the last couple of months has most of Facebook believing it's him thats the problem.

If he does go as I expect he will then I hope he goes onto good things and proves what I think he can be with a bit of support 

[Cherry Blue]

if he does depart, who in their right mind would come to manage/coach the club when its now becoming (more) public that the owners don't have and never have had any intension of running a football club. This has gone on for 13 years. We need shut.

You’ve saved yourself by being clear-eyed about it. No longer a fucking moron (in my eyes, at least!)

We are now fighting relegation with a Manager who more or less has stated he doesn't want to be here.

What impression/motivation does that give to the Players?

The severity of the situation may cost us dearly..what a fookin mess this Club is in from top to bottom!

Ironically this is one of the times Waggot has done right by JDT in pulling him from the presser. The club has a duty of care over all employees and to put JDT out there in a club sanctioned duty while aware of JDT's state of mind and demeanour could have bit them on the arse. I remember John Gregory & Aston Villa getting fined £10's of thousands back in the day after Villa allowed Gregory to do media after Dwight Yorke joined Man Utd where Gregory said "If I'd Had A Gun I Would Have Shot Dwight Yorke". So them actually be proactive for once and not letting JDT have the chance of ruining his reputation (the clubs is shot so who really care about that at this point) is a good thing.

Lol at that one. You're a trier!

[Lancaster Rover]

For all of JDT’s bravery and honesty in calling out/alluding to the owners, Waggot, Suhail’s carrying on he repeatedly sets up a team that folds like a deck chair and for that he does need to be taken to task. It’s not like we’ve had an out of character bad game today following a tumultuous week. We’ve been dog shit since December playing football that an u9 team could read where the next pass is going.

in some ways the disaster of the pitch is letting Jon off lightly for what an (avoidable) shit show we are on it

It's all very odd. Why did LT say block. That makes it seem negative. What do they know that we don't? Why not just say rather than making it all speculative 

Read some comments somewhere on the net where some fans exulted in what one of  them called a "wonderful window'!

Wonder what they think of it now? One even called on the LT to sack the reporter who used the word "banned" in relation to JDT's non-appearance at that press conference. Mental.

Time to give Warnock a call, but it won’t happen with Paul Senior, sorry, Gregg Broughton in situ.

A manager going off on a club rarely ends well on the managers future in the game. We may like it but what happend to the managerial careers of John Gregory & Mike Newell two mangers to do just that?

As it turns out JDT is smarter than them all as he played a blinder in the presser today without burning the upper management down with fire and brimstone, but left it in no doubt that the circumstances are not right in upper management and he was gagged.
