Good luck to Fletch and Ro. I'm sure it's the right and probably only sane option at present. Two very passionate men who have a lot of enthusiasm. Let's hope it's not too long before they are given more resources to strengthen when the JB takeover happens. I felt back in August we were not far from being a good team and that events of the field since, were to blame; chipping away at the team. Let's hope we can now move forward and recapture what we had and go beyond.

As the dust settles all we can do is get behind what we have.

I'm still angry at the treatment of Reid and I'm not at all happy with the concept that we are likely to retain Ridsdale's services after the takeover. I simply have to hope that those that have met James Brent (if he is to take on the club) are sound in their judgement of him and that he has enough interest in the football side of matters and enough about him to keep Ridsdale under control and not fall for any of his BS.

Fletch and Ro are a completely unknown quantity in a managerial sense and as such it is impossible to say if this is a good or bad decision. Anyone claiming to know anything else is assuming a lot based on the respect we as fans hold for them as players. It is a situation enforced by financial circumstance and would not have happened otherwise. This may turn into a good thing, it may not. There are many examples in history of each possibility.

They are lucky enough to be in a no lose situation. If they keep us up they'll be remembered in Argyle history, if they don't then nobody (I'd like to think but there's always a few) will blame them for failing to do the near impossible.

I hope and want more than anything for it to work out and will give all of my support to them both. One thing is for sure we could not have a more committed or passionate duo taking charge right now.

In conclusion, i'm undecided but 100% supportive

to all the critics your clearly not true fans you back whoever is in charge especially 2 players who have give there all for the club and 2 argyle legends so if you want to criticise go do it somewhere else cause the true fans if like me really don't want to hear it good luck Carl and Ro

Come on. Most people here, even the 'critics' have said they will give 100% support. However, it is perfectly possible to do that and at the same time make a sound, rational and perfectly reasobable observation that you have a few doubts. Blind faith is the daftest position to take of all. And all that 'you are not true fans' nonsense is disrespectful and smacks of the playground.

So because Howe can work miracles Fletcher can too? Is this really the logic? Aside from having no experience do FLetcher and Howe really have anything in common?

This is a very desperate gamble. Lets just hope he's even half as good as Howe, who did an even better job than I previously realised.

And Fletchers red card was not an isolated incident. He was lucky not to be red carded in the previous two games too, the situation was obviously getting to him. Hopefully now he is in control he will be able to channel his frustration.

I never said that.

Neither did i

Give it a rest pal people are entitled to have reservations about the appointment of 2 unqualified and inexperienced players into management positions.

a big worry for me is ro has virtually no contacts and fletcher has only a few contacts. i wish them well as i hate seeing my club getting humiliated week in and week out. let's hope they can get a big bustling centre forward in.

Whatever ones' personal feelings about this appointment, I feel that as true fans of the club we simply have to get behind Carl and Ro at this time! We are at the bottom of League 2, and the way things are heading looking the Conference straight in the face.

I also feel that, although I respect Peter Reid tremendously and admire what he has done for us, things couldn't carry on as they were. So why not give Carl and Ro the chance, they both have their coaching badges, and know the players currently at the club, particularly the young ones. I would think that these young 'uns have great respect both of them, being the senior pros in the club.

I, for one, will be giving them my full support and backing, wishing them the best in their new roles!

Very disappointed I'm afraid. Fletcher and Larrieu were the ones threatening to strike and now they are best buddies with Ridsdale.

There is a very limited team choice and I Just feel the pair are two faced. Has the wages situation changed for them?

Reid was treated appallingly and these two were involved in the dismissal after all that Reid had done for them

Big big let down

In the grand scheme of things, Fletch and Ro deserve as much praise and adulation as Reid in terms of the sacrifices they have made to the club. Just because they threatened to strike after finally deciding to put personal reasons before PAFC, should not detract from the fact they are both due a great deal of respect for the way they have carried on in the face of adversity.

And if Reid HAD lost the dressing room as now apears to be the case, then yes, the team captain and club captain may well have had an influence on the decision to sack Reid. And what had Reid done for them personally? Surely all Reids generosity was more aimed at the club as a whole than individuals??

No more fair or unfair than anything else, but as a way to pick a manager, even a caretaker one, its about as barmy as you can get.

I think there was arguably a case for replacing Reid, but not having an experienced firefighter ready is beyond a joke.

We are already 'beyond a joke'. Let's throw caution to the wind. This could be good or bad but at least it's a change from the pattern of the season so far.

Where is the "catastrophic" option ????

If an experienced, qualified manager can only get us 1 point out of 27 with this squad and in the circumstances what will the untried, untested inexperience duo achieve. Ok they can't do any worse, well maybe 1 point less, but I would not put my house on them winning more than they lose.

I was a harshb critic of Reid as a manager, not a person but this is all financial and stinks of REAL DESPERATION.

Lets hope the deal goes through quickly and we get an experienced manager to dig us out of this huge hole. A relegation dog fight on no budget is not the training ground for a rookie.

If these 2 are still in charge in 8 weeks time we will be as good as RELEGATED
