Gould sounds as sensible as we might expect but it’s going to be a tough first game in charge given that Clarke - our best player so far I think - is unavailable, Sass is out so we will need to rely on Kengni again (presumably), we have only Marquez up front and Campbell will probably be in defence. What a mess.  Three points tomorrow will be fairly extraordinary given where we are.

RS showed very little loyalty to Macclesfield so probably no surprise he's jumped at the first chance he's got to move on.

That was a calm and measured interview from someone who is not usually in front of the media - credit to both interviewers too. The dialogue was straightforward covering a range of issues.
 
Even without losing Robbie for tomorrow's fixture, the game against Wealdstone was always going to be a big challenge, given the absence of players through call ups, injuries and suspensions.
 
As others have written, Clarke and Sass will both be hugely missed, but Ewing has also equipped himself well when given minutes.
 
It's a time when fans need to step up and show their support for Gould, the management team and the players who take to the field. Such a shame the game clashed with England's fixture

Keep the ship steady in rocky seas........impressed with JG, and as he says, now's the time for others to step up and stake their claim for a shirt. T Time once again to stand up and be counted !!.

Looks like my prediction of Jonathan Gould being lined up to be our next manager might be on the money...at least in the interim...promote from within, minimum turbulence, a bit like Liverpool used to do with the boot room.

For now yes, but what we really need is to get a proven quality manager imo. Stuart Maynard or Luke Williiams would be good options.

Let's not go for another manager with minimal experience, for the love of God. Last season's NL winning manager is without a job at present.

I'd go for Karl Robinson - if Robbie has gone.

I posted earlier in the season that I didnt think RS would be here for the full season. I was surprised he lasted all of last season to be honest.
 
He will be on his way soon which does make a number of people DV, RS himself and others look rather daft when they talked about this long term project.
 
Not much loyalty in football these days and RS will just be out for himself. I mean look at what he said at Macclesfield before suddenly jumping ship to come to FGR. So all the bravado of what we are building is a load of hype and nonsense.
 
I remember DV talking about wanting a senior established manager and changing from a high profile name before appointing SC. Look how quickly that changed to appoint RS. You just take what a lot of the club says with a pinch of salt. All rather embarassing when you step back and look at it..
You've hit the nail on the head Pops.....it's indeed embarrassing to hear all that "here for the long term " and " 3/4 year project " drivel...... I long for the days of an old school manager ( SC) and the likes of JMT, Inniss, Bunker, Mcann, Doidge...... not so long ago in those halcyon days.

Before today’s match at Sutton United, Savage remained tight-lipped when asked whether Forest Green had been approached about his availability.
He said: “I don’t know. I’ve got a game to prepare for and nothing distracts me from my job – I’m passionate, I care, I’m emotional and I’m relentless in what I do. My full focus is on Forest Green.”

Crikey there's some heavy lifting there comparing the incredible Liverpool boot room over many years of Paisley, Fagan and Evans.....to Gould after just a mere 5 months in the NL at TNL. 🤣🤣
But I know what you mean. I'm not sure that Gould is what we need.
Hearing him say "how the club has progressed over the past 15 months under Robbie" is not what I wanted to hear.
Williams, Maynard and Robinson are all looking for work apparently. All would 'do a job' for FGR imo.

Unless Robbie has been guaranteed the Peterboro job ( then they would not interview anybody else) i think its very bad that he is missing tomorrow's game, especially after he keeps saying his love for the club and his players.
I have no problem with Robbie wanting the Peterboro job but surely he could have told Peterboro he was available to be interviewed Sunday or after tomorrow nights game... Its a very bad look. (unless he has been told the job is definitely his)

I’d happily stick money on Jermaine Defoe. Celebrity appointment, vegan spells towards end of his career to manage injury, experience at this level…

Deal done! Now watch our best players disappear with him up the leagues. We asset stripped Macclesfield, now the same will happen to us.
