I think Kelly is merely providing good stewardship and removing the need for us to act hastily in appointing a boss. He is only mentioned by the chairman IMO to keep him keen. I don't think they have any intention of giving him the job.

I agree Durham and he doesn't seem keen on becoming Manager and I think we need someone who really wants the Job.

Personally, I would keep Rob Kelly. He has obviously boosted the overall spirit and confidence of the squad, hence the six points we've gained from the last two games; therefore Kelly should at least be kept 'til the end of the season

Did CL ever get wins on the spin? Webbo.....

We did this before. He had four lots of 'wins on the spin' - although for two of them you have to include cup matches:

Plymouth (h)/Leeds (a) - last season

Blackpool (Cup replay)/Gillingham(h)/Reading (Cup) - last season

Derby (h)/Leeds(h) - last season

Cov (h)/Cardiff (League Cup) - this season


Quite an impressive record, huh?

 

[bocadillo]

Not this season. Think he managed it once last season, if memory serves.

Oh dear!!

I hope the above didn't seem like ripping you to pieces. Those extended runs are so easy to forget. :icon_eek:

No it's fine! I meant league wins.

The longest run of defeats in league games was the 6 games that ended his tenure:
Reading (a)/Norwich (h)/ C Palace (a)/Sheff Wed (a)/Cardiff (h)/Plymouth (a)

There was no other losing streak of league games of more than 2 matches.

If you include Cup games, the longest losing streak was of just three matches and this happened three times (all this season):

Bolton (League Cup)/Leeds (a)/Stoke (a)
Reading (a)/Norwich (h)/ C Palace (a)
Sheff Wed (a)/Cardiff (h)/Plymouth (a)

Indeed. Plus, he's already said he's not breaking down any doors to get the job, and he loves being a coach. He's well thought of as a coach - you should stick with what you're good at.

Many of the best managers don't really spend time on the training ground (Clough, MON, etc) and one example of a manager who does, off the top of my head, is Peter T*ylor.

I'm sure anyone could produce equally impressive/depressing names that would prove the exact opposite, but I would say that great coaches don't always make great managers, and great managers aren't always great coaches. Draw your own conclusions...
