Text on BBC Sport reflects that L&R - just a lltany of fouls.

Just a thought, but why doesn't the Club begin a feedback section on its website to replace this site? After all its a fan owned Club and they should welcome the views and opinions of their owners.

Because of budget constraints, we will end up with mediocre appointments to both the sporting director and manager posts. And that is to ignore the de facto reductionon the player budget. We should appoint a better quality manager. The appointment of a sporting director is lunacy. Whose idea was it? Names please.

The two main things I took from last night (if we can repeat our performance with our improving fitness) were that first, we should be able to claim a playoff spot, and second that we have a good chance of promotion.

Really sorry to hear this. You have done a fantastic job and I hope everything works out well for you and your partner. Thank you very much.

What a difference - always looking to go forward - good first time layoffs - masses of energy. Livi look bewildered. Ref has helped a bit.

Anti-Israelism is not anti-semetism.

I think Bannigan must hold the record.

Anyone know what he's doing these days?

I suspect that any announcement will be to extend Graham's temp appointment (without a fixed term) - he was asked only to take charge last Saturday

Why then, was it rarely mentioned on here?

Why has the team's lack of fitness suddenly become apparent to so many punters here?

How does holding them to account manifest itself? Forcing Board resignations? Changing key decisions? Withholding financial support?

If he did, he was ineffective.

I suspect the ridiculously complicated club structure (Board/TJF/etc) will mitigate against a quick, clean decision about the new manager, and that a low risk/cheap option to appoint Graham becomes appealing.

Quite apart from the personality issues between both, how can we budget for both with unknown salaries. The sporing director appointment is sheer madness and financially suicidal.

Reminds me of the graffiti on a Liverpool church poster: "Jesus saves St John nets the rebound"

Possibly, but he might be interested in handing in a good performance with an eye for opportunities elsewhere.

Not sure if I understand that last papagraph. Could you explain please?

Why does all the speculation only consider managers in Scotland? Why not widely advertise the job and see who applies? We need fresh thinking from the next manager.

It has to be admitted that Caldwell is doing OK with Exeter.

Doolan was not the only architect of his downfall. Others need to take a long hard look at themselves and change their behaviour. Doolan will hopefully learn lessons and profit by them in his future career. Graham is not the answer, nor is loading our overheads with extra layers of management. Find a seasoned manager from outwith the usual suspects who will bring a radical change in the way we play. We need to shed the amateurish, second best approach to running the Club.

Are you seriously saying that we are still going to appoint a sporting director? That would be madness!

Surely the idea of a Director of Football has bitten the dust given our parlous finances, and the more pressing short term problems on the field.

Persisting with Doolan to the end of the season or the end of the playoffs risks a fall off in home attendance that would damage finances for next season
