The official TWF Kenny Jackett IN/OUT thread

[North West Wanderer]

The problem is that fans on social media are merely the vocal minority.

I would never hound out the manager but I feel the fans using social media have to have their voice heard when in it reflects the majorities thoughts/feelings.

No one is stopping you from creating a hashtag.

Its a growing medium in its infancy, maybe taking over the role newspapers used to fill for the football fan. So why not learn how to use it for positive effect.

Through social media can the fans start setting the agenda about which manager they would want next?
Rather than having an Owen Coyle popularity contest on the back of the local newspaper why not have a Get Gary Rowett campaign on the local rags. It might get a response eventually from Rowett one way or the other and flush away some of the uncertainty.

This is not positive effect, it is merely supporting your agenda.

I think you've missed my point somewhat.
How is the vocal minority going to truly represent how fans as a whole feel?
And positive effect. Really?

Put it this way, If the fans knew there was a strong possibility the next manager could be Gary Rowett the majority wanting Kenny Jackett out would probably be larger, thats not an agenda thats just an opinion and a possibility.

How do you come to the conclusion its a minority?

How would it be a strong possibility? Because the vocal minority put it on a social media site.? Really??

The chances are whoever and whenever our next manager is/is appointed, we won't have any sway on it. None of us predicted Solbakken or Saunders and not many said Jackett.

I also think Kenny is getting an unfair ride here. Sure, he's made some baffling decisions and I've questioned him many times this season. But now isn't the time to panic. Else we become one of the very clubs we've been known to repeatedly mock, who hire and fire at will.

A final thought, we are hardly an attractive proposition at the moment, and won't be until the ownership issue is sorted.

We have a core of 20,000 fans who go the game and I'd wager a similar amount who don't, who truly care and want us to improve now.

How many of those are on Twitter, and how many of those want Jackett gone
It's a minority, and I can't wait to read how it's anything but.

Agree with all of this. And no matter what people currently think of Jackett, he deserves far more respect than being hounded out in such a way.

Indeed and the arrogance shown by many on here as to who we'd attract is laughable.

I wouldn't say arrogance as I know a lot of the guys on here and they're far from it!!
I know what you mean mind, and I do think that's a vocal section of wolves fans who don't really understand how things work, but not necessarily on here.

They wanted Morgan out, and rejoiced when he said he was selling, without realising he was selling, not that we were being bought.
They want us to spend spend spend, without realising money doesn't guarantee anything and that there's numerous examples of this right by us.
They want Jackett out, without considering the far bigger picture.

I thought in general the candidates mentioned during the past 24 hours were fairy reasonable and realistic targets.

I don't think I've seen anyone say "we will be able to attract X", more a case of,"if Jackett goes we would need to replace him with a manager who would be an improvement"
No one is advocating rushing into getting rid of Kenny unless there is a viable replacement. It's all a "wish list"

What a condescending load of bollocks.

You have no clue who we could or couldn't attract and have provided no insight into any process either. You have no clue what funds are available or even what coaching changes could be made so how you can say anybody else's opinion is arrogant or laughable is pretty pathetic.

 

[From Distant Shores]

Looking at Forest, Leeds and Watford, I'm not so sure we'll be an attractive proposition for a manager after the ownership issue is sorted.

Steady on - let's keep it civil please.

 

[North West Wanderer]

Lack of a viable replacement leads me to say in for now.

I suspect there's more going on behind the scenes than any of us realise

However stop with the fucking about. 352?

Apparently this means I suggest we go 352. :coffee1::icon_lol:

Can I ask, why?

This is true!

Just to add to NWW's point about a minority, the total number of people who have voted on the poll is 70. Social media can reflect opinions, but I don't think it can be claimed to representative of the overall fan base. It also tends to be more reactionary (not so much here), but if you look at Mol Mix there are posters who contradict themselves on a weekly basis. If the 20k there on Saturday were given an In/Out card as they entered the ground my guess is there would be more Ins than Outs
