Mark west, good manager some players are at north Leigh (the better ones) so they wouldn’t leave, he was at Thame for years but never went up? the other 2 wouldn’t risk going down this year, as players wouldn’t want to join us in the predicament we are in. Just give the next manager a chance, for me I’m not bothered who takes over as they can’t be worse than wells who really and truely was an embarrassment to our club. I think people forget he got sacked from a Step 7 club and has no experience of managing other than that. He has previous of telling fans to fuck off but it sounds like some fans want someone like that 🤣 Yeah let’s have someone who’s stole lads wages at previous clubs over someone who told miserable supporters to fuck off. This all smells to familiar with our history that we don’t take responsibility for our behaviours, only a few will remember the shit Bill Carroll got and looked what happened there…. be honest, we can’t blame wells for this issue, he was right for the most part, some of our fans live in the past but don’t want to learn from it. Unlike some of you, I spoke to wells, often challenged decisions via twitter and he always responded, always, wasn’t always what I wanted to hear but he was honest. As for the step 7 thing it’s a complete fabrication, when asked he said he was there for 6 games, playing in goal for 4 of them before leaving when he was in the final 2 of the AUFC job. One thing we should all agree on is, Williams, Wells, Tuttle, West etc nothing changes, while many supporters live in the past and are board just continue to go through the motions, this is our reality. Enjoy it

So gave him 6 games to still have an outburst on Twitter, sounds great 🤣 he was at a club for 4 years I doubt that happened, but that’s something we’re agree to disagree on. Think it’s end of topic now

Just jumping on here as felt I wanted to say something since last weekend but haven't known what to say, to be perfectly honest. A few observations as much as anything.
Firstly am sorry to see Rocko is / will be off and concerned there may be an exodus though hoping the better/loyal players hang around. No idea what this season holds but the simple fact that we've beaten some top teams shows we can do it. Whether better organisation, tactics, a different voice in the dressing room may benefit whilst improving key areas of the team sharpish. A decent central midfielder ala Riddick would make the world of difference.
Am far from close to the hub of the club but have from afar seen things change very much for the worse since the end of last season. That last home with a decent crowd, a feel good factor and an actual atmosphere in that crumbling ruin aka The Meadow. Why so? What happened to cause this? I've only attended 4 games this season and from the off back in August, fans not stood together anymore, clear factions and ill feeling obvious.
Re Jack Wells, I warmed to him and also found him refreshingly open and honest, couldn't be accused of a lack of commitment, enthusiasm or work ethic. He made mistakes along the way but with the best of intentions imo. Ultimately though his actions on Saturday were beyond acceptable and he had to go. Even that though wasn't best handled and led to the unfortunate and unnecessary fall out with some loyal supporters and good people.
Certain comments made there that I found hard to understand as have never observed the type of unacceptable abuse of players being alluded to by Jack, either on here or at matches. Always good natured, dry 'gallows humour' and sarcasm which rarely crossed the line for me and was certainly not hurtful or personal to anyone. I stand corrected if I missed this whilst of course accept some humour is subjective as my Twitter followers will testify to!
Have personally found this season hard work, fractured, uninspiring, even listening to Jack's post match interviews a case of same old, same old. Whether this contributed to the general malaise, apathy amongst fans and 'stay aways' call it what you will but something did need to change as far as I'm concerned.
The unhelpful comments and digs at fellow fans on here which are causing further rifts and ill feeling are sad to see though are a reflection of the current state of Aylesbury Utd FC.

Was below that - And for the member who said he left them when he was in the final two for AUFC....It wasn't just that. He also left because true to form he hugely embarrassed that club on twitter by trying to engage with a rival club with incorrect information who rightly put him in his place. That will always be the issue for JW. Without doubt talks with enthusiasm and passion, but cant keep his mouth shut when he should be more responsible. Its got him into trouble before, cost him his job now, and no doubt he'll be controversial again in the future.

Didn’t manage to get over tonight due to work commitments.
Hope the two young lads who were VD and Winslow have applied.
If not them let’s hope the leader will do it.

It’s actually laughable some peoples comments on here, he’s turnt up in jeans 🤣 I don’t know the bloke but I had the opportunity to talk to him after the game, he had 2 of his own coaches with him, a manager does the management and the coaches coach. The interview after, why would he do one, because whether it him or anyone else the position the club is in ie players leaving, he can’t be honest, because if he was I think he would say we are poor and majorly unfit and then players get upset. Wells isn’t coming back, he put us in this position and there has been no improvement over the last year in fact I think we have gone backwards. So why don’t we move on from that vile man and the shitshow it’s been until now and actually support the new manager whether that’s Tuttle or someone else. It's called looking professional and not like a pub team. I know it's 20 plus years now and easier every year to forget but we are not a pub team.

This is honestly getting silly, you clearly just don’t like Tuttle, some will some won’t just like wells. Completely different level but I’ve seen guardiola, Luis Enrique, simeone even Alan Devonshire to name a few wearing jeans at games. Think their leagues are a bit better than ours, Only slightly I guess, but I wasn’t aware of a dress code to manage a team. Give the guy a break for god sake. Think there’s a lot bigger issues that his dress code. Feel a bit for him Saturday as being interim there’s not a chance he gets to sign his own players, good chance we lose to the best team in the league he’s on a hiding to nothing. I’ve got nothing against you Clifford, but let’s just move on, we won’t agree on everything and let’s just try to support the club no matter what. Hope to see you Saturday?

It's all gone a bit feral in here.
What does anyone have to gain assassinating the character of an interim manager? With the mess we are in we'd be lucky to have someone like him on board. As for the rumours being spread about him? Now his dress sense? Literally had one night in charge in which we avoided defeat in a game we could not lose. One look at this post he'd run to the hills and you wouldn't blame him.
& why is comparing players important? We have some talented players in this squad and it was always the case the squad just needed tweaking. Wells lost his head under the pressure and we are where we are. Need someone to come in and steady the ship. Hopefully it’ll stop the likes of Rocko moving on…
It's now about the club doing whatever it can to stay at step 4. Time for the supporters to support the club and just stop the nonsense.

The sooner the club appoint a replacement manager the better.

I completely agree with you nelmo and couldn’t have put it better myself, we are in a precarious position, teams below us have games in hand and if they win them we are bottom. I personally want Tuttle as gaffer, old school approach won’t say bad against the fans and I urge the fans to go out your way to talk to him like I did Tuesday, a top bloke who is seriously misunderstood. If it’s him let’s hope he gets time to get his own players in. If not I appreciate him stepping in twice for us. Anyway in other news I met his son at the game, I asked him if he played and got in to a good conversation he played for Oxford United, Havant & Waterlooville, Marlow, Wantage and binfield. This goes on to my next question have we ever had a father son combo at the club? That’s to say he joined, which I never asked him in fact.

Damed if he does, damed if he doesn't. I hope the club don't make the same mistake again in appointing a replacement manager

Good move for young Rocko, looking forward to seeing the new players.
Do hope we appoint a permanent manager soon, do not feel very confident with the interim.

Sad to see rocky moving on, however no surprise. Been a shining light for us this season so far. Hopefully these new signings will lead a similar path. Did turtle make these signings do we think?
