Simmo obviously thinks he can turn things round and I pray he's right because it appears the Piataks will keep him on. Looking at him in his interviews though he has aged a lot since last season. Given he's financially secure there must come a point when he thinks "stuff it" I can't be bothered with this anymore. Not saying it's definitely going to happen, but I really wouldn't be surprised if after the Derby game it was announced he was moving away from first team responsibilities and was moving upstairs.

I feel like there is a lot of relevant context being ignored unfairly here.
People will have their say, over and over and over again on here, the same stuff repeated, but if the gaffer doesn't walk by Monday next week, it is most likely he will be here to stay, for the short to medium term at least, and I hope people decide to get behind him and leave all this kinda craic in the past, which is where this season will belong.

I always get behind my team. But Stevie Wonder could see this team and management group are out of their depth and heading one direction. Would you want a mad man leading you over the trenches or a measured individual. Simpson is a busted flush, his signings have been a disaster. Lewis and Lavelle are on long contracts and big money I believe. We are stuck with them, 2 important elements of our spine, weak. It is his team, his mess and I for one won’t have him run a bath let alone my football team.

Problem we have getting rid of any players is that all clubs will know that League One is above nearly all the players in our squad therefore you only have League Two and below to shift them to, and many will even pass them up on that due to their wages.

January signings:
Armstrong (Out of favour at Harrogate after an underperforming start)
Lewis (Was having a poor season with Bradford)
Neal (Was good for Barrow but can't run)
Kelly (Injured all season)
Vela (L1 experience but meh)
That Palace defender (Loan player we barely used)
Diamond (Hasn't actually done anything)
Dudik (Who?)
Imagine if we had signed Jake Young from Bradford? Would be even worse, but there is not a single player we signed in January who has looked the part and have really been worth signing.
Simply not good enough.

I tend to agree with you Hack about the January signings. None have them have set the world alight and frankly I'd have expected some clear signs of quality to be shown by now. I've not written them all off yet but a big improvement is needed early next season.

He will go next season. Unfortunately that will be after he’s spent our budget on more inadequate players. Lewis will continue in goal and Lavelle will most likely start as well, that’s the beginning of the end for him imo

Constant blame game to everyone else, rarely takes any accountability, wouldn't trust him with his record of signing players with the overhaul this summer. He’s also created a toxic atmosphere at the club. No idea what has happened with Hunts but wouldn’t have him down as a trouble maker

Did anyone notice that with a lot of these plyer Simmo stated he looked at them last summer (2022) , what worries me is that he had it fixated in his head these were players he just wanted to sign . We needed pace and power in January, non of our signings offered that .

My argument with getting rid of Simpson is, yes the players aren't good enough . Although I don't think they are so bad that we end up this far away from saftey

I reckon he lost the dressing room months ago. When you watch the team play do they actually look like they are playing for him.
It's usually try a bit for 10 mins, concede, heads down. Have a go at the start of second half, concede, heads down.

Neill Collins, has been sacked as Head Coach at Barnsley, they're still in 5th place. He spent 3 years as a player and 5 as head coach at Tampa Bay Rowdies in Florida.
Could he be the answer to the Simpson problem?

I tried to stop moaning about him, I really tried ! The sooner the Derby game is out of the way, the better. I`m getting some beers in on Monday, and I shall be waiting for the news, that he`s leaving. If only somewhere sold Duff ! beer, I could have that, in hope his replacement is already lined up. If it happens, then great, I can have celebratory beers, and the excitement for new year, will begin that day. If not, I will have my misery beers, and on Tuesday, I will accept he`s going to be here, and I`ll have to stop moaning until the season begins. Could there only be 6 days left for him ?
