We gave a man a shit job to do. He's making a shit job of it so far. And I don't like him. Fact I hate him! Ideally I'd like the Hump to be manager. If GC stays I think he'll sack the Hump come summer!
I don't really think even a Warnock would have saved us. And even if Danny had stayed and done it, DA would have had him sacked for finishing too close to the relegation zone. That's my opinion.
Eventually you do have to stand by what you've done (and not just because your own repeatedly mistaken staff recruitment policy has become too expensive!) We should make it clear to Caldwell that his own player recruitment policy so far is unacceptable to the club. All his loanees should immediately be returned to their clubs whether he likes it or not. We should also cancel Fulton and Anderson's loans with thanks as their continued presence is now pointless and certainly Raglan at least should be back at the club for our last six games. IF Caldwell did not like his authority undermined in this way he would have the option of resignation, but if he stayed he'd be assured recruitment would be his baby for next season.
I don't believe Caldwell knows nothing about tactics and how the game is played. I do believe he made some good decisions at Wigan, that a wave of success swept him and his team forward and success came easily. His decision-making both at Wigan and here when results didn't go his way became random and inexplicable even to those like Pooch, who wanted to give him a chance. I cannot but agree he deserves the sack, but if that is all we do as a club we'll definitely turn into a Leyton Orient. In the end we have to be better than that, and if he really wants to be better than that and wants to see Chesterfield flourish, he should stay.
Fortunately I'm pretty sure he won't stay. How likely is it that he's loving it? No one likes failing, especially in public .... at the one thing in life you're supposed to be able to do. He'll end up with a nice little job coaching at Hibs or St Mirren for family reasons or some other garbage.
But I want us to have standards. GC seems to have done little to deserve good treatment. That is precisely why we should give it to him. He's spent his time with us trying to kept a clean sheet. I really would let him wipe the memory of one win in nineteen and start again if he's man enough. Clean sheet Gary, can you handle it?
