Roy is not the future.... he never really was... he was a stop gap manager to hold the line and the budget... it's that simple.

Does Howe deserve a crack at the prep? Personally he should be in a champ club proving his worth, he failed at the prem in all honesty.

I feel a champ level manager with potential should be considered for us.

I also think we should totally restructure ourselves and Parish should come out and say it.

For instance, a yo yo club doesn't break the bank to get promoted from the champ, they don't break the bank to stay in the league either. They get in the prem, have a couple of years, collecting the money, go down, have another go, you get an exciting season then back in the big league.

I feel for us, we should look at the league as split in two. Top ten, bottom ten. Top ten you got your united, cities, Chelseas etc they all spend big, as the reward is bigger, the demand is bigger.
For us, we should look at it as 11th is top of our league with the added bonus of a cup run. We should be 16th/17th in terms of wages, bringing in exciting youth, a stepping stone for champ players to prove their worth and we should be having fun seasons where we get to 40 points comfortably and then focus on the cups after xmas.

We should not be held hostage to this league and be terrified of going down... relegation should not be the end of the world, that just shows piss poor club management.

do I want us to be a yoyo club, no... do I want us spending big bucks... nope. Do I want some excitement, 100%.

This was once a quality forum....

So did Roy at his first job in the top division as he was sacked by Blackburn when they were bottom of the league.

Intriguingly the decision on who will replace Roy will be made in part by someone who has failed dismally at management in the Championship having been sacked (or mutually consented) from Bolton and Notts Forest

I’d love to keep Cahill. Senior pro, potential cover at Centre Back and with his ability and experience, surely a great defensive coach. He comes across so well in interviews, intelligent, sharp and a good communicator. He will surely go on to do his coaching badges and be part of a top management team in time?

He only has two years left on his contract at the end of this season, so if we don't sell him then or extend his contract he will walk away in two years for nothing, i cannot see Parish letting that happen

Indeed, saw this click-bait from the Daily FAIL, read it & you'll see what i mean.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
