***Updated*** Scott Lindsey Appointed As Manager

What stats are WAGMI looking at to even consider appointing Lindsey? I hope any deal falls through and we can recruit a decent, L2 experienced manager with at least a degree of success.

If Lindsey gets appointed any remnants of faith I have in WAGMI to get something right will disappear.

You are losing the fans here WAGMI, if you haven't lost the vast majority of them already!

Oh?

A regular at The Country Ground are you? Tell me, what part of his performance do you think the Swindon fanbase should be please with?

Is it the football? Passing side to side with little penetration having scored just 4 goals in the last 6 games? (I think 1 or 2 from open play). It's doubtful that even Charlie Austin would do well under him - he'd barely get the ball. Are we supposed to be happy with that?

League position? 8th - and plummeting. There was a time this season where Swindon were challening for the top 2 thanks to a decent run in a poor league. But that seems a distant memory now and we're 17th in the league form table thanks to a run of truly dismal performances over the last 10 games or so. Are we supposed to be happy with that?

To say he wasn't given a chance shows just how little you know about the situation. To say he wasn't given a chance shows that you have not spent week in, week out watching his boring, ineffective football (yet). He has been given a chance and it's come to the point where it's clear he just doesn't have what it takes. It also seems the players have lost faith in him.

Maybe it will work for you. Managers seem to do well or poorly at different clubs so maybe Crawley is 'his' club and it will all click for him there. But the evidence so far shows that he is out of his depth. If it doesn't work, then how long will your fanbase put up with dire football and awful results? Will they then be toxic if they're unhappy with a manager whose performing woefully? 

Don’t think anything can top that form 😂(our worst manager EVER) it’s why we’re in our current position.

ADMIN: A couple of posts on this thread were deleted because they quoted another post but added NOTHING to the quote - perhaps a mistake? nevertheless as they add nothing to the 'debate' they have no purpose and will be deleted as soon as possible.

I really hope that is not the case as another user herein mentions, the club will lose the remaining fan base if that's the case. It is inevitable that at some point form will dip if SL is in charge and the fans will turn quickly nastily and in demand of his removal. Why appoint a manager that has little to no chance of fan base support? Its clear and obvious he is not wanted. 

I doubt 99% Crawley fans want him BUT we don't appoint and those that do the appointment would lap all the above up and there we have the problem! 

I think we were all prepared to get behind Etherington (whether we agreed with the appointment or not) but he didn't stick around long enough to make his mark on things.

If what we are hearing about Lindsey is accurate, we are in for more dreadful performances like we had under KB, and a relegation scrap. Kinda difficult to get enthusiastic about that. I'm sure everyone bar 57IQ will support the players 100%. Whether Lindsey gains our support depends on the job he does. I will back him and the team regardless. You never know, he could prove everyone wrong.
