With Gardner gone and obviously being replaced, the new appointment may be the one to ditch the possession style of play in favour of a more direct approach throughout all of our teams. Part of the reason I think Davies is still here is they didn’t want to much change all at once.
We really need to get a body in and announced though as we’re only weeks away from things happening that a DOF is heavily involved in or should be overseeing

I can't see the style changing - certainly open to correction on this but it felt to me like that came from above Gardner.

If CG has got the boot though, his successor should have a big say in identifying and recruiting a new manager. I assume Gardner going would also suggest where blame is sitting for how last season went, so CD gets a chance to show what he can do with a new DoF driving the recruitment.

Ultimately depends who comes in as DoF. If they feel they are a great appointment and they want a different manager to work with then that’ll be that.

A change in CG’s role actually puts even more pressure on Davies to succeed. Like I said before though, you have to give him until December/start of Jan minimum.

Half the season moaning about how 'boring' the football is and then having a hard-on for dinosaurball.

I think that first international break at the end of September will be first review time. If CD has us up and around the playoffs (8th or higher), then I think they will review again January, if not then I think he'll be gone.

If the board think that Davies is only one bad run from the sack when he had 3 in the same season last year I don’t see any point in keeping him. It’s only worth changing when a manager has the Jan window if there is to be any change.

So my belief is that they must be willing to give CD time.

There is absolutely 0 sense giving him all of pre season and the summer window if he may be sacked 10 games into the season. Would be a mindless approach to things.

Has CG actually left?

This news to me - state your 'sauce' Rab.
