MANAGER SACKED!!!!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Seems Newport's board and fans are a little less tolerant than our own.

 

 

[Laz]

How does his record compare to our own?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

I'm on it... give me a few minutes.

 

 

[Laz]

I think we know the answer!

[gertcha EFM]

It appears that unlike every other club manager, Steve Castle's job security is not based on results or performances.

 

Newcastle or Liverpool fans call for their managers head, and they are called passionate fans. St.Albans fans voice their opinion (and based on Castle's record I would like to hear an argument as to why he should stay.) and they are verbally abused or physically threatened by unintelligent morons.

Peter Nicholas, ex-of Newport County

 

Played 77

 

Won 27

Drawn 23

Lost 36

 

Average: 1.35pts per game.

 

Can someone remind us of Castle's record? About four matches ago it was 0.92pts per game. Probably around the same mark now.

Out of interest, what was Robbo's record before he was sacked ?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Played 83

 

Won 40

Drawn 15

Lost 28

 

Average: 1.63 points per game

 

(Including cup matches)

D'ya know Cookie's as well?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Gary Roberts - League only...

 

Played 64

 

Won 30

GHA - Cookie by himself?

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Please mate.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Cookie, sole manager, all competitions.

 

Played: 44

 

Won: 16

Drawn: 7

Lost: 21

 

Average: 1.25 pts per game

 

 

(This includes a 4-3 win against Colney - not sure if Cookie had lost him job by then or not?)

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Right. So Cookie and Robbo and Cookie & Robbo and probably Jon 'Gaffer' Sherwood, and Peter Nicholas, all have better managerial records than Steve Castle. Says a lot that he's still here, with a 'new 2-year contract' to boot.

[gertcha EFM]

Thank you.

 

I cannot understand what Gibson's criteria are for a succesful manger based on the statistics above.

 

Any ideas ?

 

 

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

If someone can confirm that Muddy's last game was a 0-1 defeat at home against Sutton, I'll set about finding his record.

 

Let's not forget that Muddy was getting booed (not by EFM I hasten to add) by our supporters, some of whom were perhaps those getting aggressive with EFM on Saturday??

 

 

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Muddy's record.

 

Played: 37

 

Won: 11

Drawn: 9

Lost: 17

 

Average: 1.14pts per game.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Muddy was a legend, Castle is sod all. Yet EFM get criticised for booing Castle, by people that booed Muddy.

 

Makes perfect sense, that.

[gertcha EFM]

Short memories some people. Blinded by the belief that Gibson saved the club.

 

I can understand the people who get all the freebies not wanting to upset him, but some of the other fans we have need to look at how this club is being slowly destroyed.

 

PK Saints anyone ?

[GHA EFM]

I wonder how many people that blindly stand by 'the funky Gibson' have ever spoken to the man, or seen him on the terraces?
